Unsure if this qualifies as a deal so posting as forum discussion.
More than 20,000 new car owners in Victoria will get a $3000 government subsidy if they buy a vehicle with zero emissions under a new plan.
The $3000 incentive will be available for vehicles purchased after Sunday May 2.
Ironic, since these subsidies are directly funded by the proposed EV tax (2.5 cent/km).
However this is good news for VIC purchasers of OzBargain's favourite EV - Tesla Model 3
$3,000 EV rebate for Victoria residents on eligible Model 3
What is the offer?
The Victorian Government has introduced an EV rebate of $3,000 on new electric vehicles with a vehicle subtotal (dutiable value) under $68,740. The Vehicle Subtotal can be found on the payment section of the Model 3 configurator by selecting ‘show details’. This offer is on a first come, first serve basis and is limited to 4,000 registrations in Victoria at this amount. A further 16,000 incentives will then be made available, but the Victorian Government has not yet confirmed details for this stage of the scheme.Who is eligible?
Residents and businesses with the right to register in Victoria are eligible; limits may apply per resident and business.How do I claim the rebate?
If eligible, the rebate will be applied to the final invoice prior to payment and deducted from the full Drive Away Price. If eligibility is unable to be confirmed, any quotations or invoices reflecting the rebate will become void.
So you're ahead if you keep the car for less than 120,000kms…
