farmers are suggesting they don't have enough time to adjust to incoming fees on high emission cars

New EV buyers will be offered a rebate of up to 8,625 dollars.

But the Government scheme will be funded by a fee on new high-emission vehicles from January.

Federated Farmers President Andrew Hoggard says low-emission car alternatives for farmers, are still a long way off.

He says it'll probably be 3-years before a proper alternative is on the market.
