I'm curious to know what others think of this.

I'm personally for keeping it as I see the benefit coming in a few years having many more EV's available in the second hand market. Currently it's pretty much dominated by mainly Nissan Leaf's at the lower end of the secondhand market.

I know of a few people as well who have bought EV/Hybrids recently that would not have even considered going for EV's or even hybrids without the rebate.

100%. ICE cars aren’t gonna disappear by magic, and cars in general are here to stay, like them or not. We need to be doing everything we can do remove fossil fuels from our transport infrastructure in general, and this is a great way of doing it.
