Motorists will save a collective $6.6 million over four years in registration fees as the ACT begins charging based on vehicles' emissions rather than weight from July 2024, the government has said.
The plan will mean heavy electric cars pay less than lighter vehicles that cause more pollution, but the government said there would be no change to the cost of registering the 35 most-owned vehicles in the territory.
Certain concession card holders in the ACT will also be able to access free registration from July.
