The MTA said Australia would also need a “comprehensive and fit-for-purpose rapid charging network” to combat “range anxiety” for drivers. ![]() “For example in regional areas where a hydrogen, hybrid, plug-in hybrid or even a more efficient ICE (internal combustion engine) would be more appropriate than a battery electric vehicle.” “The MTA and other automotive associations do not recommend in setting vehicle specific targets as they unfairly distort the market and do not take into consideration nuance and specificity in certain sectors of the market,” the MTA submitted on October 31. The association said one of its “guiding principles” on ZLEV policy was the federal government should mandate CO 2 targets – but not electric vehicle targets. The Motor Trade Association of SA/NT, which represents more than 5500 businesses in the automotive retail, service and repair industry, submitted to the review that it “fully supports and welcomes the oncoming transition” to zero and low emission vehicles (ZLEV).īut it also warned that “an uncoordinated and ad-hoc transition will lead to worse outcomes for both automotive businesses and consumers”.
