Electric cars produce more carbon dioxide emissions than petrol vehicles: Report

Electric vehicles in Australia's eastern states produce more carbon dioxide emissions than regular petrol vehicles, according to a new report. The ABMARC report also revealed $7 billion in upgrades would be needed to achieve Labor's promise to make 50 per cent of new car sales electric by 2030. Environmental advocates have called on Australia to replicate Norway's approach by imposing heavy taxes on passengers, vehicles and offering incentives for electric models. Image: Getty
