What would it take to get Australians to buy electric cars? Canberra provides a guide

Only 5,532 of the 101,233 new cars sold in Australia last month were all-electric.

While that number is an improvement on previous months, it is tiny compared to the 25% to 85% of new cars sold that are all-electric in European nations such as Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway.

A lot has been written about why that is, but less about what an individual state or territory can do to improve it, in the absence of help from the federal government.
