Climateworks has supported a Fuel Efficiency Standard for many years and looks forward to seeing implementation in 2023. Our 2022 report found accelerating EV uptake will reduce emission and save motorists money. An Efficiency Standard is the critical step to reap these benefits.

[lynsket1 @lynsket1]

New analysis found implementing world-class fuel efficiency standards could reduce passenger vehicle CO2 emissions in Australia 95% by 2050. See all the details and specific recommendations for Australia on setting targets and designing the standards here: https://t.co/lyNTzW9Y4s

[The ICCT @TheICCT]

🆕 Australia can almost fully decarbonize its light-duty vehicle fleet by 2050 with fuel efficiency/CO2 emission standards like those already adopted in leading 🚗 markets including 🇪🇺, 🇳🇿, & 🇺🇸.

Our modeling shows ~95% ⬇️ in WTW CO2 #emissions by 2050: https://t.co/T5xI45Ll20

Great to share @ClimateworksCtr "Accelerating EV Uptake: Policies to realise Australia's electric vehicle potential" report at today's #AllEnergyAU. Outlines how to unlock EV uptake: starting with fuel efficiency standards to resolve supply issues, meet targets & reduce emissions

[Rowan Moorey @rowanmoorey]

Rachel from @ClimateworksCtr states that current government policy isn't aligned to our commitment to Paris targets.

BREAKING:
Huge numbers of Australians have owned, driven and trusted Toyota cars over the years, so this may come as pretty shocking..
Turns out #Toyota has grim record of greenwashing and lobbying against measures to reduce climate pollution from cars.
New reports out today..🧵

Boundless CEO @eytanlenko with Climateworks Centre CEO @Anna_Skarbek and our transport team's @HelenRowe_ and @lynsket1 at today's #EVSummit.

Our last presentation for the day but not the least by Senator @DavidPocock “it’s important that benefits of electrification are seen by all. Low income households need to be a focus. The public sector plays a critical role” #evsummit @SmartEnergyCncl @EVCouncil

[SmartEnergyCouncil @SmartEnergyCncl]

.@Mon4Kooyong “A lot of people want electric vehicles but affordability and availability are real issues.” We need greater availability of second hand EVs and shared EVs and strong fuel efficiency standards.

[The AMWU @theamwu]

There will be no EV revolution without manufacturing workers. That's why we're calling on the Government to establish a tripartite council of government, unions and industry to drive Australian uptake of electric vehicles #EVsummit

[lynsket1 @lynsket1]

Industry is eager for policy ambition at the #EVSummit, @VolkswagenAu director "if we had standards today, we could bring in EVs tomorrow" @Bowenchris @CatherineKingMP we have the evidence to bring in a Fuel Efficiency Standard ASAP

[Richie Merzian @RichieMerzian]

First new climate policy (beyond election commitments) from the Labor government!

Minister @Bowenchris locks sights on fuel efficiency standards at EV Summit from @SmartEnergyCncl @EVCouncil @TheAusInstitute and Boundless (@eytanlenko)

[Anna Malos @Anna_Malos_Aus]

@ClimateworksCtr @EVCouncil & others have supported bringing in fuel efficiency standards for years. They will reduce pollution, reduce fuel bills and stop Aus being a dumping ground for dirty, inefficient cars. Lets do this!

[Climateworks Centre @ClimateworksCtr]

Our latest report shows how raising Australia’s ambition to EVs being 76% of new car purchases by 2030, and 100% by 2035, could benefit consumers and cut transport emissions. Find out more: https://t.co/hFeAMczMEi

MEDIA RELEASE: Plan to Accelerate Electric Vehicles Welcomed

Clean transport advocate Solar Citizens has today welcomed a plan by the Federal Government to get Australia into the fast lane on #EVs by investigating #FuelEfficiencyStandards.

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Australia has one of the world’s least efficient and most polluting car fleets, and it’s costing us every time we fill up at the petrol pump.

We could fix this with a simple policy: fuel efficiency standards. Here's how ⤵️ #auspol

[lynsket1 @lynsket1]

Accelerating EVs in Australia includes a globally competitive fuel efficiency standard. Top of the agenda at today's #EVSummit, and key for @Bowenchris + @CatherineKingMP 's National EV strategy, with a discussion paper due in September.

[Climateworks Centre @ClimateworksCtr]

Climate Change and Energy Minister @Bowenchris has announced encouraging steps towards ambitious Fuel Efficiency Standards.

We suggest standards in the order of 95g CO2/km by 2024, down to 0g CO2/km by 2035, as part of a policy mix to increase EV supply.

"Standards that lack ambition will leave us at the back of the global queue for longer. Back of the queue for cheaper and cleaner vehicles. We do need to aim for as close to best practice as possible and I want to make that clear." @Bowenchris #auspol #EVSummit

[lynsket1 @lynsket1]

While Australia is currently behind global EV uptake, we know the steps to take and can learn from other markets who have quickly accelerated EV policy! #EVsummit #fuelefficiencystandard

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

New Zealand transport minister @michaelwoodnz just told us that nz has gone from 3% to almost 20% of new vehicle sales in just over a year, because of various policies including fuel efficiency standards. #EVSummit

[lynsket1 @lynsket1]

Great to hear @Bowenchris at today's #EVsummit announcing plans to tackle transport emissions starting with fuel efficiency standards in the National EV strategy. My recent @ClimateworksCtr report highlighted financial + emissions savings a standard will unlock.

[Electric Vehicle Council of Australia @EVCouncil]

#EVSummit Dr Sasha Courville, Chief Impact Officer @bankaust announces they will cease fossil fuel car loans from 2025

To ensure the transition happens smoothly & equitably they'll continue to provide loans for secondhand fossil fuel vehicles until there is a thriving EV market
