The Queensland government is doubling up on EV rebates, meaning that eligible households can receive another $3,000 – on top of the $3,000 rebate that has been granted under the Zero Emission Vehicle Rebate Scheme since last year. Only EVs with a listing price of less than $68,000 are eligible – meaning 12 vehicle models, including The Tesla Model 3, which was the best-selling EV in Australia in the first quarter of 2023 (7,238 units). Moreover, even buyers who purchased their electric vehicles since the beginning of the Zero Emission Vehicle Rebate Scheme in July 2022 can reapply and receive additional funding. According to Australian media, more than 1,100 people already received the governmental rebate and are possibly eligible for further incentives. Queensland saw 3,892 new EVs hit the road in the first quarter of this year.
