The High Court’s Verdict on cancelling Victoria’s EV Tax
The state of Victoria in Australia introduced a 2.5 cents per km charge for electric vehicles using public roads in the year 2021. This was introduced to compensate for the loss of fuel excise revenue from the shift towards electric vehicles. This was a slap on the face of buyers who were buying the idea to reduce carbon emissions by buying an electric vehicle. Well on 18th Oct 2023 the high court's verdict on cancelling victoria's EV tax was a slap on the wrist of Victorian government trying to behave irrational by stepping above the law of nation and abusing with constitutional rights of Victorians.
