Yes, it's easier to judge the reception of things like this among an Aussie audience than it is to judge it in Europe and China etc.. as we know our own environment better.
I wonder if this is an internal lefty push for EVs or an actual considered position based on savings in upkeep of motor vehicles though.
That speech by Rand Paul he made on the US Senate floor always goes through my head about the gas powered cars in Afghanistan as an example of what I am talking about lol
I hope it's a savings cost, because that would speak well of the future, but right now it's kind of hard to tell what's a considered cost-based position and what's just a flavour of the month virtue signal.
