Australia's electric vehicle drivers will have to wait months to find out how they will be taxed but a war of words over the issue has continued to rage between state and federal governments.
Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas accused the federal government of launching "the most craven attempt" to take revenue from state governments on Friday, saying he was disappointed it wanted to "steal great ideas".
Mr Pallas' fiery comments came just one day after the High Court case over Victoria's electric vehicle tax adjourned in Canberra.
