Australia is ready for a rational and transparent discussion about road-user charging on all vehicles, not just electric ones.
- Professor in Supply Chain and Freight Innovation, Swinburne University of Technology
Reduced government incentives, the spreading of myths and concerns about used car values and fires have stalled what had been an increasingly rapid uptake of electric vehicles.
There’s a risk that the belief that electric vehicles are much greener results in owners driving more often or faster, or using cars instead of public transport.
Modelling shows a shift to electric trucks is the better, faster option for cutting transport emissions under most plausible scenarios in Australia’s energy transition.
We’re seeing more big cars on the road. What does this mean for safety?
Serious air pollution is a common problem in stations around Australia and the world. But solutions already exist, and some can be applied immediately to protect station staff and commuters.
Support for road-user charging strengthens when people are assured that revenue goes into reducing traffic congestion, maintaining transport infrastructure, improving public transport.
