Tesla has teamed up with Australian power supplier, AGL Energy (among others), to promote green energy, electric cars (EVs), and push for a range of policy measures such as tax incentives and emissions regulations. If the partnership is successful, the cost of EVs, which is still relatively high in Australia, could fall by more than AUD$8k ($47.5 per cent). Calls to increase EV infrastructure in Australia are also growing louder, as sales of these vehicles have been weak in the country; only 948 units were sold in 2014.
