Changes to road user charges for EVs are being welcomed.
The Government's officially confirmed owners of plug-in hybrid vehicles will now pay $38 per thousand kilometres, a reduction from the planned $53 policy.
The change comes after the Government accidentally backed an amendment from the Labour Party.

She says every motorist has a responsibility to contribute to the roading cost but we have to make sure they pay their fair share.
