Measuring the distributive impacts of electric vehicle policies

The number of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) sold in Australia is low compared to other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, primarily because of a historic lack of supportive policies. However, several Australian States have recently announced or are developing electric vehicle (EV) policy packages to boost BEV uptake. Veitch Lister Consulting (VLC) has developed a model to assess the impacts of EV policies. This paper introduces a spatial EV uptake model and illustrates how it can be used to assess the aggregate and distributive impact of policies. This paper explains the methodology behind the model and presents its key inputs and parameters. The impacts of two potential EV-related policies are also analysed: the introduction of road-user charging and an exemption of EVs from transfer duty.
