victoria ev tax

Short answer: Victoria hasn't imposed a blanket, statewide per‑kilometre EV tax on drivers — at least not yet. EV owners still pay the usual vehicle costs in AUD such as registration, compulsory third‑party cover and stamp duty on purchase, rather than a dedicated nationwide kilometre charge. The Victorian government has run trials and is investigating distance‑based charging to make up for lost fuel excise, so the policy landscape could shift. If you're buying or budgeting for an EV, check the latest from Vicroads or the Department of Transport and Planning and keep an eye on ServiceCentral or Tradingpost for practical updates and listings.
