The proposal would increase the average emissions standard of carbon dioxide on the fleet‐wide passenger vehicles sold by manufacturers in Australia with the following schedule:

  • 105g/km in 2025-26
  • 84g/km in 2026-27
  • 63g/km in 2027-28
  • 42g/km in 2028-29
  • 21g/km in 2029-30
  • 0g/km in 2030-31

The penalty for non-compliance is $100 per one excess gram of carbon dioxide per km over the set standards, multiplied by total passenger vehicle sold in Australia for the given year.

Applying a road user charge to electric vehicles

Summary of proposal

This proposal would introduce a road‐user charge on battery electric vehicles and fuel‐cell electric vehicles, levied on a per‐kilometre‐travelled basis.  The road‐user charge would be calculated as a proportion of the fuel excise that is currently paid by a driver of a passenger vehicle that has average fuel usage for Australia.  For the purposes of this proposal average fuel usage is defined as the average passenger vehicle fuel usage in Australia in 2016, which was 10.5 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres, or 0.105 litres per kilometre.  The proposed road‐user
