EV sales double in Australia, one in four new cars electric
EV sales double in Australia as one in four new cars now electric
Many more would transition if they could afford it. But Aus government only has funds for US military soldiers, miners, foreign gas profits, and bailouts for smelters and the like. Traitors.
All good news, except the image used is a 2+ generation-old 2009 EV that has been out of production for more than 5 years. So easy to get this stuff right.
Time to put gouging polluting Big Oil out of business!
The figures for EV sales are climbing rapidly in Oz. In Canada, Chinese vehicles are making huge in-roads, with manufacturing in the country. The orange unleashed a force he cannot stop.
Albo is bad, but ScoMo was a whole other flavour of bad.
Every cloud has a silver lining. In this case, high petrol prices are driving decarbonisation of transport in Australia. #climatechange
32% of busses sold in Australia are Electric. 46% of Trucks sold in the EU are electric. Australia EV truck sales? 0.6% quite pathetic really.
Doesn’t help that the Liberal Gov in QLD purchased over 600 diesel buses scrapping the former Labor government’s zero omission mandate. Backwards we go!
i might have mis interpreted the EU figure, even so, the point still stands, why Oz so far behind? www.transportenvironment.org/state-of-eur...
Even that bus number is too low, it’s like diesel is $1.70. Gov needs to provide an incentive.
Me thinks we need a battery like rebate program for ev trucks to get this ball rolling.
These guys are trying to change that. As a side note apparently the California gov is picking up the whole tab for these conversions youtu.be/fGjNHNfjk6Y?...
