I agree that ICE vehicles will be on the road for at least a decade, perhaps 2 but as time goes by, their cost of ownership will increase because our Government is a signatory to the Paris Accord.
The transition going forward will be complex from a Government point of view......how much carrot and how much stick and who pays and by what amount for transport infrastructure.
At present petroleum imports are close to $50 Billion P/A and the Government taxes that at the rate of 46c + GST (about 17c/Ltr) per litre which is designated for roads and transport infrastructure
IMO this amounts to more than the Comm Transport Budget:
Mining, farming and some Heavy Transport operations are given concessions
