Greens call for combustion engine bans

AutoExec Summary
The Australian Greens propose banning petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles by 2030, aiming to enhance electric vehicle uptake. However, this initiative has met resistance from manufacturers and dealers, who advocate for a balanced approach. They stress the need for incentives rather than taxes on internal combustion engines, arguing that increased costs could hinder new car sales and environmental progress. The Greens assert their plan is essential for Australia to advance in electric vehicle adoption, contrasting with the major parties’ lack of strategy.
