The EV buying bonanza is being predicted because of a change in the way Australias new CO2 reduction rules work. Currently, the New Vehicle Emissions Scheme (NVES) bases an automotive brands combined CO2emissions on how many vehicles it imports. Emissions should be counted when the vehicle is sold, Hobbs said.
