## Resource

New South Wales is eyeing a hefty new tax on electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, aiming for $200 million in revenue within two years—but experts are sounding the alarm. With EV adoption still growing, this move could slow the transition, increase pollution, and confuse drivers, especially ride-share and delivery operators whose high mileage could make the tax crippling. Health advocates warn that delaying cleaner transport could cost lives, while legal precedent shows similar plans in Victoria were blocked by the High Court. With a federal national plan underway, critics urge NSW to wait rather than risk consumer confusion and policy chaos. Experts say a phased, clear approach is key—and the inquiry’s final report is due by September. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
