Free registration on electric vehicles will be mothballed in the ACT from July under the ACT's new emissions-based motor vehicle registration scheme, and charges reintroduced.
The move to end free EV rego and shift to a CO2 emissions-based system was described as "sensible" by a transport policy analyst and the NRMA, given that unless there was intervention, heavy battery electric vehicles would face massive rego fee increases under the old weight-based system when the incentive expired.
