My understanding is that LTA relies on CO2 emissions to determine the VES?
Was looking at both the VES bandings for the BMW 330e and the 530e. Both have similar ICE engines (B48), yet the 530e is VES B while the 330e is C1 and subjected to $15,000 surcharge. The 530e emits 105 g/Km of CO2 (as published by LTA in the Cost of Registered Cars, Dec 2021). The 330e was categorised in A2 in June 2020 however was changed to C1 which means that to CO2 emissions is above 160 g/Km.
I’m puzzled as to the variance of CO2 emissions on similar ICE platforms in the 330e and the 530e.
