Opt for more fuel-efficient vehicles, whether electric or non-electric, to reduce emissions and maximise fuel efficiency.
What Can I Do?
While electric vehicles are the preferred choice for achieving significant emissions reduction in transport, EVs are still prohibitively expensive for many people, the EV second hand market is limited and EV versions of some vehicle types are not available in Australia. In these cases, whether you are considering a new or used non-electric vehicle, select a model that has a high fuel efficiency (or low L/km). Also, opting for a higher quality petrol when filling up your vehicle will reduce emissions and keep your car going for longer.
