victoria electric car rebate

Short version: Victoria’s $3,000 Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) subsidy has ended, so there’s currently no state purchase rebate on a new EV.

The much-maligned road‑user charge was struck down by the High Court in 2023, so that’s off the table too—no extra per‑kilometre sting.

Your best sweetener now is federal: eligible battery EVs under the luxury car tax threshold can attract a fringe benefits tax exemption (handy for novated leases), which can save thousands.

Programs change more often than Melbourne weather, so confirm details with official Victorian and Commonwealth sources before you sign anything.
