Electric cars and charging them at home: the sales figures behind the headlines and what the numbers mean for a household, with every claim tied to its publisher.

Treasury’s exposure draft for novated leases and other employer-provided EVs: three periods set by when the car is committed, a step at $75,000, and the list of changes that count as a new commitment, from refinancing to changing jobs. Not yet a bill.
