The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water will inquire into and report on the transition to electric vehicles (EVs), with regard to:

• the establishment of resources, systems and infrastructure required to support transition to EVs
• the impact of moving from internal combustion engine vehicles, including fuel excise loss, existing auto industry component manufacturers and the environment
• the opportunities for fuel savings, such as by combining EVs with other consumer energy technologies and savings for outer suburban and regional motorists
• the impact on electricity consumption and demand
• the opportunities for expanding EV battery manufacturing, recycling, disposal and safety, and other opportunities for Australia in the automotive value chain to support the ongoing maintenance of EVs
• the impact of Australia’s limited EV supply compared to peer countries, and
• any other relevant matters.
