Victorians pony up for EV subsidy Victorians pony up for EV subsidy May 14, 2021 More than 400 registrations for $3000 state government electric vehicle incentive in first week More than 400 Victorians registered for the state’s $3000 electric vehicle subsidy within a week of it opening for business on May 2. In a clear indication that at least early adopters are taking advantage of the first EV incentive of its type in Australia, that number is equivalent to about a third of total EV sales nationally in the first four months of this year (according to VFACTS figures, which exclude Tesla). Providing more context, total EV sales in Victoria in 2019 were just over 800, not including Tesla cars.
