Once again: Road User Charging must be universal
EV consumer group, the Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA) has once again insisted that any future road user charge (RUC) must be mass-multiplied, and not single out EVs. The federal Treasurer has indicated a RUC might form part of broader taxation reforms, citing declining fuel excise revenue as more effi cient vehicles enter the market. Dr Chris Jones, National President of the AEVA says that road user charging is not a new idea, and the AEVA would welcome being part of the discussion. But if the goal is to encourage EV uptake while addressing the limitations of fuel excise, the RUC must be universal, and include vehicle weight.

Call for papers for AEVA National Conference 2025
AEVA’s National Conference will be held this year on Thursday, 13 November, in Melbourne at Victoria University’s Footscray Park campus. The conference is adjacent to the Everything Electric Show, held at the Melbourne Showgrounds on 14-16 November 2025. This year’s theme is Embracing the Early Majority. The innovators got the ball rolling, and the early adopters have led the way. Now is the time for the early majority to embrace electric transport en masse and accelerate the transition into the mainstream. Those interested in submitting a paper for this Conference are asked to submit an abstract of no more than 200 words by Wednesday 6 August 2025.
