I completely agree! Open market. I want no handouts to get into an EV. Similarly, I don't want any Road Tax usage tax because I found a way around fuel excise. In fact, scrap any subsidies for Fossil Fuels whilst we're at it too. Lets all pay the exact price that things should cost! I've paid more in LCT and GST than many do on buying a car.
I even skipped claiming the $3000 price reduction on our most recent purchase as if you take it up, you have to pay a road tax in 2027. Bugger that. They are grandfathering the "no road tax" for cars that didn't get incentives. Win!
