The definitive EV thread. No spin. No BS., page-813

Most Australians are aware that the Greens tend to be out of touch with reality, and this quote from Bandt himself (highlighted below for your convenience), is why the USA does not want cheap Communist Government-subsidised EVs in their country, which would ruin their automotive, parts supply and manufacturing industries, just like what happened in Stralia.

Reliance on oil from the Middle East and Russia is the same dilemma as relying on China for all manufacturing... something North America and Europe will avoid at all costs.

If anyone thinks the proliferation of cheap Chinese EVs is good for the Western world and their economies, open your eyes to the long game China is playing, and think again. This is not rocket science.

If the Greens could wave their magic wand and electrify out entire light vehicle fleet (21+ million vehicles) tomorrow, then bravo.
Stralia would reduce our global contribution by 0.15 x 1 = you guessed it, 0.15%.
Let's pat ourselves on the back.

And what about India and China not reaching their own peak emissions until 2030 and beyond.
Makes buying an EV to save the planet a complete scam.
