    IMO the big shock to the system will happen when Governments
    super-tax petrol & diesel in order to force motorists into EVs/hybrids
    because while the new car market is about 800,000 units P/A the used
    car market is over 3 times that and there won't be enough used EVs
    and hybrids to fill the gap.

    Unfortunately its the over 75% of the Aus motorists who can't afford
    a new EV will bear the financial brunt of the transition to EVs

    Solution:
    Relax the regulations on the import of good used Japanese EVs
    and hybrids & offer a Government scrapage bonus to wreck
    fuel guzzlers..say $3K... .. That happens from time to time in Europe
    so what happens in Europe usually happens 5 years later here....eh?
