Electric vehicle subsidy package for South Australian businesses, organisations and individuals

Overview

Subsidies

A $3,000 subsidy is available for 7,000 new battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles valued below $68,750 (including GST) registered in South Australia from 28 October 2021.

Subsidies are limited to one per individual person residing in South Australia and 2 per business located in South Australia. The vehicles will be required to be registered in South Australia and must not have received a rebate in another jurisdiction.

The subsidy is only available on eligible new vehicles that have not been previously registered. It is not available for used vehicles. The subsidy is not available for plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Registration fee exemption

Unlike the upfront purchase subsidy, there is no limit on the number of new battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that can receive relief during the eligible time period, subject to the eligibility criteria being met.
