Last month was the biggest month ever for new vehicle sales as buyers tried to beat the Government's Clean Car policy changes.
The Clean Car rebate introduced last year took a maximum of $8,500 off some electric vehicles that's been reduced to $1,600 less this month.
Motor Industry Association data shows record vehicle registrations, nearly 24,000, up more than 2,000 from March last year, around the time the fees were introduced.
Chief Executive Aimee Wiley says there were more than 8,000 electric vehicle sales.
She says a range of hybrids will no longer attract a rebate and consumers pulled forward purchases before the changes were made.
