Hi Mick

I am not against investment in EVs, I had shares in lithium and got out before the last drop
I am not against EVs as a vehicle to drive or be driven in, they have many wonderful features
I am not against people owning one as they own other classic cars
I am not against some one owning one as a second car to take kids to school, shops etc if it suits their particular needs
But as to the current craze of total replacement of IC cars with EVs has to be one of the craziest scams ever perpetrated with public money

Once again you don't have to be an electrical engineer like me just do the math and it will never work,
Who pays for the gigantic multitude of charging stations
Look at your local service station
They can refill 12 to 16 cars at a time in 10 minutes (tops)
Calculate the space needed for 12 charging stations and multiply it by 6 ( 10 min to 60 min ) for recharging partially the same number of cars
So every service station has to be six time larger, where is the power coming from, where are the h/d power cables to carry the power
The charging stations will have to be separated so as to protect all of it from the occasional fire
The service stations could not be among a residential area (re fires)
The local fire brigade would have to be upgraded with specialized trained personal and equipment

DO THE MATH IT IS A GIGANTIC FINANCIAL SCAM TO TRANSFER TAXPAYER MONEY TO THE ALREADY SUPER RICH

AND THIS IS ON TOP OF THE INHERENT PROBLEMS OF THE CURRENT EVS

I guess the 'cant bat, can't bowl" syndrome has reached EVs.
We had the fire scares with Mobile Phones while gassing-up.
Where's that now?

We have had the "sen a taxi driver to the moon" scare with LPG

And so on.

As I have said previously , both sides of Government has signed-up
to being Carbon Neutral by 2050. Transport generates about 17%
of Aus Carbon. So IMO its either user pays (polluter pays) or Government
Pays or a mix of both.

IMO it will be mostly Government pays (general taxpayer) until the
Neo-Libs change that to polluter pays. In the interim there will likely
be a sliding scale of both.

From the top down. ....Aus imports over 90% of transport oils.
Home charging of the family car will mean that we claw at least
some of the revenue back from the Foreign Oil Companies who
by the way pay little or no Aus Corporate Tax Now that should appeal
to an Aussie nationalist...eh?

The jury is still out on the damage done in Aus by climate change.
However, what is measurable is theever increasing $billions doled out by Governments
to individuals in lieu of natural disasters of which the wise guys attribute ti Climate Change.

The carbon tax was promptly knocked in the head by the Libs who ironically have
a general policy of user pays (polluter pays) !!!
