Australia's High Court has struck down Victoria's tax on electric vehicles, in a move labelled 'contentious'.
Victoria had previously established a distance-based charge for electric and hydrogen vehicle owners for each kilometre they travel.
Two EV drivers filed a challenge in the High Court, arguing that it was 'unconstitutional' for individual states to impose these taxes.
Australian correspondent Murray Olds says establishing more taxes would be a controversial decision.
