Two electric vehicle drivers have launched a high court challenge to Victoria’s electric vehicle tax, arguing the levy is unconstitutional.
The challenge was filed on Thursday by Equity Generation Lawyers, the legal firm that represented eight teenagers in a federal court case that found the federal environment minister, Sussan Ley, had a duty to protect young people from the climate crisis.
The case will argue that the Victorian government does not have the constitutional power to impose the tax.
In July this year, the Victorian government introduced a new tax that charges electric vehicle drivers between 2 cents and 2.5 cents for every kilometre they drive.
