What are people's thoughts on the recent attention in Australian politics regarding electric vehicles?
As an election promise from the labor party to make 50% of all new cars electric by 2030 has gotten a lot of people from both sides of the fence talking about it.

I am particularly liking the fact that Alan Jones ect are talking about electric cars - All be it he is against the idea but at least we are talking about it.
