Respondents were asked whether they agreed or disagreed that the Australian Government should introduce subsidies and/or tax incentives to reduce the costs of purchasing an EV and whether they support or oppose a policy similar to the United Kingdom’s planned ban on the sale of new fossil fuelled vehicles from 2035.

Most Australians support both the introduction of a subsidy or tax incentive to reduce the cost of purchasing an EV and a policy to ban the sale of new conventional fossil fuelled vehicles from 2035.

Key results:

• Two in three Australians (62%) agree that the government should introduce subsidies for the purchase of EVs.
  • This includes 65% of Coalition voters and 64% of Labor voters.
• Over half of Australians (57%) support a ban on the sale of new fossil fuelled vehicles from 2035.
  • Half of Coalition voters (49%) support a 2035 ban, with one in four (28%) opposed. Two in three Labor voters (65%) and three in four Greens voters (76%) support a 2035 ban.
