Until very recently I was working for Energy Australia and while Electricity is not that expensive it is for the consumer. You can produce electricity for 4-5c pkwh yet in Australia consumers can pay up to 40c+ pkwh. Now if the EV revolution takes off in Australia, what will we be charged to recharge our cars. Will we have a remote powerstation. sheet we can't even produce enough electricity to get through the summer.
The Federal and State governments are so dumb when I read politics I think I'm watching an episode of yes prime minister. Our government is about red tape and wasting tax payer money. Australia will be the last place to go electric because we dont look to the future, that is why our transport systems and infrastructure is so far behind. We keep taking more immigrants that have no qualifications to move the country forward, all we are doing is getting a bigger population that the country cant support. Electricity is one thing we are short on.
Hydrogen on the other hand is one thing we have an unlimited supply of and it doesnt take time to charge and as i said while it does cost a little more than petrol it lasts twice as long and will be at your local petrol station.
For AVZ we need China, China is currently the most forward thinking country with the most forward thing government in the world. They just get it done! And if they need Lithium, I hope AVZ are the ones to provide it.

One of the main advantages for battery makers of having a high electricity price in this country is that consumers can install solar and a storage unit and almost go off grid. I’m sure the electricity companies will up their supply cost (daily charge) to compensate a little bit high electricity costs are a good thing for lithium battery makers.
