Electric vehicle drivers in Australia's capital will save hundreds of dollars in registration fees every year in a redesigned scheme to encourage the adoption of low-emission vehicles.
Hybrid cars will also be cheaper to register in the ACT when the system is introduced in July but some sports cars, hot rods and other high-polluting vehicles will attract higher charges.
Energy and climate groups welcomed the move, calling the revised fees a nation-leading development that could help Australia catch up to other countries in the race to electrify transport.
