The government claims the state’s EV strategy is the largest of its kind in the country. The funding includes a $3,000 rebate and stamp duty waivers for eligible new EV purchases, and $149m to support private industry to install ultra-fast charging sites. While the spending for charges at 125 buildings would only assist a tiny portion of the overall market, the investment would allow a nascent industry to develop rapidly. “It’s being able to entice enough of them to get the ball rolling so that people learn how this system works,” Jafari said.
