Taylor on Friday used the Future Fuels discussion paper to justify his government’s decision not to provide any subsidies or incentives for electric vehicles, citing claimed emissions reduction costs of $747 a tonne. “(Subsidising) a typical electric vehicle for a consumer wouldn’t be value for mo...
