Ah, the Victorian EV tax – the government’s cheeky little way of reminding you that electric vehicles aren’t entirely free rides on the road. From 2021, Victoria introduced a levy on electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to recoup some of the lost fuel excise revenue, because roads still need fixing even if you’re not guzzling petrol. The tax is calculated based on the vehicle's battery capacity and usage, with a fee of approximately $100 to $200 per year. It's worth noting that this levy is separate from registration fees, which remain comparatively modest for EVs.
For the latest details, keep an eye on the Victorian Government's official announcements or check ServiceCentral for registration costs and fees. If you’re hunting for an EV, marketplaces like Tradingpost and CarShowroom might help you spot models that balance upfront cost with ongoing taxes.
