Tax breaks for plug-in hybrids will be ended by 2025 and discounts that will cut the price of popular electric and low emissions cars are set to pass parliament after crossbenchers agreed to a deal with Labor.
The "electric car discount" policy was a Labor election promise and the legislation aims to make an EV, such as the Nissan Leaf, up to $2,000 cheaper for Australians and $9,000 for employers who run fleets.
