Official sources · checked 17 July 2026

South Australia's electric vehicle support has been wound up. The purchase subsidy and the registration exemption that once applied to electric vehicles have both ended, and no South Australia-specific concession has taken their place. An electric vehicle is now registered and taxed here on the standard basis, the same as a comparable petrol or diesel car. The table below lists the closed schemes, with their closure noted, because they are still commonly searched for.
