Half the cars sold in Australia in 2025 would be electric powered and by 2030 the move against petrol engines would see half of all passenger vehicles on our roads run on electricity, according to Labor objectives.

“After six years of chaos, uncertainty and rising pollution under the Liberals, Australians need stability and certainty on climate change policy – that’s what our plan delivers,” Labor says in a statement today.A Shorten government would aim for 50 per cent of electricity generation coming from renewable energy sources by 2030, and reduce household power bills.

Labor would double the original investment in the Clean Energy Finance Corporation by $10 billion, supporting new generation and storage across the country.Steam rises from a power plant during sunrise.
