Under the Biden government's fuel efficiency model there are substantial subsidies in place for American auto manufacturers and subsidies for people to buy EVs. However, Labor's proposed family car tax would require companies producing petrol, diesel and even hybrid vehicles to purchase credits from EV makers. Is the government aware of any modelling on the cost of subsidies that will be paid to the growing number of Chinese EV makers and Tesla as a result of the proposed car tax?
