From 1 July 2015, the carbon price will be set by the market. But we have now had the debate, 2011 is the year we decide that as a nation we want a clean energy future. Transport fuels will be excluded from the carbon pricing mechanism. Increasing the tax-free threshold and cutting taxes also boosts incentives to work.

Yet, despite ambitious pledges and investments by governments and automakers, it is by no means clear that these vehicles will ultimately reach mass-market consumers. Carbon pricing alone is insufficient to bring low-carbon vehicles to the mass market, though it may have a supporting role in ensuring a decarbonized energy supply.

GM weighs in against Washington’s proposed EV surtax

Green Car Congress

MARCH 9, 2012

Proponents of the surtax argue the fee is needed to offset losses in state gas tax revenues since EV owners don’t need to buy gas. GM believes this proposal is misguided and will hurt sales and market adoption of EVs. The proposal currently excludes vehicles such as the Chevrolet Volt, which can run part of the time on gasoline.
