FACTSHEET
What is the charging framework?
We’re working to develop a fair and transparent charging framework that will support the expansion of the system and ensure it is sustainable in the long-term. While this isn’t included in this legislation, it will be enabled by it.
The charging framework will only apply to businesses and governments who will participate in the System.
SO, HOW EASY WILL IT BE TO CHANGE THE LEGISLATION ONCE THIS IS APPROVED?
IT'S AS SIMPLE AS PUTTING THROUGH AN AMENDMENT
THE LEGISLATION STARTS AS OPTIONAL, BUT HOW LONG UNTIL IT BECOMES MANDATORY?
Unknown. It could be a couple of years to a decade. Remember, once it is approved, they want to charge businesses to use it.
WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLE WANT TO ADD LATER?
