Without being too critical of this type of reporting, I do have a few questions regarding the methodology for this study.

Firstly, there is a currently a fuel excise tax that is imbedded into each litre of fuel purchased. How has this been accounted for when comparing fuel v electric charging? Either the excise needs to be backed out, for calculation purposes or there has to be some notional charge added to electric charging. Not doing so automatically builds a bias into the calculations. However, the cynic in me would conclude that not accounting for this helps government to build a particular narrative to support their political aims.

How do the researchers account for the percentage of home (home solar) charging v grid charging? There are a number of reports of increased and increasing costs re public accessible charging of recent times. This is simple supply / demand for grid power. To my understanding, there are really no moves to substantially increase base load power (yes, I know of the solar and wind farms, but these won't be sufficient for baseload power from what I understand).

From my point of view I am very skeptical when it comes to governments (at any level) forcing people to make certain choices. If the electric revolution stacks up economically then people will make that choice themselves. If the economics don't stack up then it (the electric revolution) will fail.

IMO
