"As Australians head to the polls this Saturday to elect their federal
government, the cost of driving has taken centre stage like never before.
Both sides of politics are rolling out policies to ease the cost burden of
motoring, but one proposal stands out: the temporary halving of the fuel excise
tax, commonly known as the 25-cent fuel discount. It sounds irresistible, but
how does it stack up against the savings you could unlock by switching to an
electric vehicle (EV)?
Spoiler alert: While the fuel discount saves you about $312, an EV could save
you between $27,000 and $50,000—or more—over the life of your car. Let’s break
it down and see why the choice is clearer than you may think."
