We understand that navigating the complexities of EV purchases can be a challenge for Fleet Managers. Most states and territories in Australia have their own EV rebates to support EV adoption and corresponding eligibility criteria. We've compiled the information for your convenience.

For more in-depth information on EV adoption in Australia, check out the Electric Vehicle Council’s 2025 report on the current state of EVs across Australia.

Australian Capital Territory

The ACT has a number of EV rebates on offer for new ZEV purchases. These include:

  • Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs)
  • Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs)
  • Low-emission petrol and diesel vehicles
• Interest-free loans from $2000 up to $15,000 for the purchase of ZEVs and household ZEV charging infrastructure as part of the Sustainable Household Scheme, repayable over up to 10 years

Queensland

Unfortunately, the Queensland Zero Emission Vehicle Rebate Scheme ended on 2 September 2024. Currently there are no plans to offer any new incentives.

South Australia

Unfortunately the 3-year registration exemption for all eligible EV purchases ended on 30 June 2025. There are no immediate plans to offer any new incentives.

Tasmania

Tasmania's Energy Saver Loan Scheme closed in September 2025.

Currently there are no plans to offer any new incentives.

Victoria

Unfortunately, the Victorian government announced in May 2023 that they were ending the $3,000 electric-car subsidy. Currently there are no plans to offer any new incentives.

Western Australia

The Western Australian Government ZEV Rebate Scheme ended on 10 May 2025. There are currently no other incentives on offier.

Federal FBT Exemptions

In 2022, a Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption was introduced that removes FBT for electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) purchased after July 1 2022, and priced under the luxury car tax threshold for fuel-efficient vehicles. The removal of FBT effectively brings down the cost of an EV to parity with a comparable petrol or diesel car.

A critical update is that from April 1 2025, PHEVs will no longer qualify for the FBT exemption. Fleet Managers, and businesses should take note of this deadline when planning for future vehicle purchases.

A list of over 30 cars that are eligible for FBT exemption has been provided, which means there is an electric car to suit most tastes:
