@paulsimpson8990 Your logic is non-existent. Aussies are the last people to ever want EV's. EV's just don't work. We all drive a lot of long distances daily, we don't have time to waste charging all the time. It takes 2 minutes to refuel an ICE vehicle with 600km range (petrol) or 800km range (diesel). We also tow a lot.
Unlike the wankers in the EU who are limited to very light 3.6 tonne vehicles, we all drive up to 4.5 tonne on standard car licences and can pull 1.2 tonne trailers on a standard car licence.
An Australian standard car licence is the equivalent of European B & D licences. EV's are garbage at towing - it basically halves your range instantly. You can't get enough usable range if you actually accelerate an EV like an ICE vehicle - this is why all the EV wankers crawl at ever lower speeds as they're trying to maximise their range.
Its common for Aussies to drive 4hrs in one go - that's a normal drive. A long drive is 8hrs - easy to do and often done for weekends away.
Also, our registration is done by type of vehicle (light, light commercial, commerical, heavy commercial) AND by weight. Given that EV's are generally twice the weight of their ICE counterparts, that means the rego costs a hell of a lot more for zero benefits.
Also, you can't drive an EV out bush, stay there a week or longer camping (very common) and still have the same range as when you parked it - in summer the range reduces due to battery cooling and in winter the range reduces due to battery warming. Then there's also losses due to normal battery depletion from its BMS. With ICE vehicles your range remains unchanged from when you park it and you can simply carry jerrycans of fuel for extended range. A jumpstarter pack with its well insulated battery (that turns off completely) remains fully charged for months and can easily get the ICE vehicle started in the event that the main battery goes flat but that's not really a thing as most vehicles that go bush are dual battery (starting and house battery for the fridge-freezer and VHF's).
Then there's the whole 'renewables' failure which has resulted in the govt telling people to use less electricity - specifically to not charge EV's in summer and to not use air-conditioners in summer. They claim they're gonna build more to 'fix' the problem but the reality is that no matter how much they add 'renewables' it always results in more taxes, more expensive electricity and less grid capacity because 'renewables' are a total failure. Why? Because they don't work on a national / grid scale!
