The current system of excise tax rewards those with efficient cars (though not EVs) and penalises big polluters.
Unless this comes with an additional carbon/pollution penalty this is going to be great news for V8 Commodore drivers, and terrible news for everyone driving a Toyota Aqua.
In the mean time, salty EV owners get to pay triple the road tax per km that a petrol driven Prius does.
