At 9:45am on Wednesday 18 October, the High Court of Australia will hand down its judgement on the state of Victoria’s electric vehicle (EV) tax – dubbed “the World’s Worst EV Policy.”
Two Victorian electric vehicle drivers, Chris Vanderstock and Kathleen Davies, brought the constitutional challenge in September 2021, arguing that the State of Victoria lacks the constitutional power to levy a road user charge on electric vehicle drivers.

The plaintiffs and lawyers will be available for comment following the judgement.
