Bit of an ouch for Victoria, likely going to prevent other states from doing a similar thing (NSW was about to implement one as well) So this would now mean a EV road user tax will need to be done by the Fed

The precedent set, where “a prohibited state excise was a tax closely related to the production, or manufacture, sale, distribution, or consumption, that could affect its manufacture or production” is a bit concerning though.
Motor Vehicle Stamp duties, and some environmental fees on electricity are probably dead in the water.
This could also apply to freight railway access fees paid to v/line or even gaming taxes, as it could be argued the fees impact sales of trains or poker machines.
