Government to expand successful EV rebate scheme
News for the Department of Transport
The Cook Labor Government will invest a further $5.2 million for the Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) rebate as part of the 2024-25 State Budget, to meet expected demand for the scheme as Western Australians embrace electric vehicles (EVs).
Since the announcement of the ZEV rebate in 2022, sales of electric vehicles in Western Australia have grown significantly, with an almost fourfold increase in sales since June 2022.
