Look to China and see the market penetration of EVs there, and the infrastructure that exists to support them.

Australia lags as it always has, but it will follow the global trend here.

I recently bought an EV to replace an ICE that has reached the point in its life where repairing parts is costing an extra thousand dollars a year.

I in no way advocate replacing perfectly fine running vehicles with new cars. That is wasteful.

Its just a transitional re-educational phase like for the free ATM usage in the past.

They will expect to have in the future a unique fee for changing EV’s!
