Abstract

This paper looks at a review of previous study, conducted in 2016, on a plug-in electric vehicle, and updates the data and findings of that previous paper. It finds that the up take of EVs in Australia is extremely slow however the last year has shown a significant increase in that transition to EV's.

It further confirms that the impact of road tax revenue losses to be insignificant on the expenditure on Australia's roadway construction and maintenance. On the other hand it finds the contribution of the transport sector to Australia's atmospheric pollution has increased significantly since 2000.
