Vehicle & Energy Incentives

Electric Vehicle Incentives

The following incentives are available by state/territory. Customers should confirm their own eligibility and be aware that government programmes are subject to funding limitations and eligibility criteria may change at any time, including during the period between placing your order and taking delivery of your vehicle.

Australia

Electric Vehicle Registration & Tax: Luxury Car Tax

In Australia, fuel efficient vehicles attract less Luxury Car Tax, leading to a saving of up to $3,246. The Luxury Car Tax is levied at 33c on each dollar above a certain threshold. For most cars that threshold is $80,567 for the 2025-2026 financial year. However, for fuel efficient vehicles including Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y, that threshold is $91,387.

The Australian Government passed the Treasury Laws Amendment (Electric Car Discount) Act 2022 which exempts eligible zero or low emissions vehicles first registered after 1 July 2022 from the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT). For the 2025-2026 financial year, electric vehicles with a value of up to $91,387 (including GST) may be eligible for this FBT exemption. FBT exemption eligibility criteria apply and are subject to change. Customers should confirm their eligibility prior to purchasing any vehicle and seek independent professional advice.

Energy Incentives

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is a $2.3 billion initiative from the Australian government that aims to make clean, reliable energy more accessible.

Subject to eligibility criteria, the program provides a rebate of around 30% off the cost of a home battery system, helping Australians optimise their energy use and reduce their electricity bills. Additional savings may be available by combining the federal rebate with eligible state-based incentives. Explore eligibility criteria and learn more about the Cheaper Home Batteries Program.

Home Battery Storage & Solar

Several states and local utility providers offer additional incentives for solar and home battery storage systems such as Powerwall. Incentives and subsidies are typically offered by either making a claim after purchase or reflected as a reduction in the price of the purchase with your Tesla Certified Installer.

Below you can find subsidies and rebates currently available in each Australian state and territory.
