The Australian Capital Territory has moved on from its earlier headline offers. The period of free registration for zero-emission vehicles has ended, and their stamp duty is no longer set at nil. The structure that replaces them still favours electric vehicles strongly, though, because the territory rates both registration and duty by emissions, and a zero-emission car lands in the cleanest category, which carries the cheapest rate on both schedules. Alongside that, an active government-backed household loan scheme offers low-interest finance for cleaner choices, including electric vehicles and home chargers. The table below shows what is active and what has closed.
