There will also be a brief presentation to Chris Nash who is stepping down as Vic Branch Chairperson. Many thanks must go to Chris who has put in many hours to achieve great results for the Vic Branch over the years. He was also the AEVA National Chair for 3 years.

Important News
A representative of Solar Victoria has made contact to alert us that, as part of the Victorian budget cuts, the $3000 subsidy for EVs costing less than $68,740 will cease on June 30th 2023. Buyers signing a contract with an authorised dealer before then will receive the subsidy even if delivery is after June 30th. There are still about 2000 subsidies available.
