I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) To
accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles in Western Australia, the McGowan
government signed a memorandum of
understanding alongside other state governments that are members of the Climate
Action Roundtable. An electric vehicle working group was established,
chaired by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, to progress
this issue and report to government. It includes membership from state
government agencies, utilities, local government and industry. The Western Australian
electric vehicle working group is currently assessing the cost benefit of a range
of policies and incentives to encourage and facilitate the uptake of electric
vehicles in Western Australia. The Western Australian electric vehicle working
group expects that it will provide preliminary findings and recommendations for
government consideration by the end of 2019. The government will determine how
best to measure success once it has considered the working group's
recommendations.
