At present the purchase price is the market killer
for EVs & once the price comes down to that of
an equivalent ICE, IMO they will achieve significant
market penetration.

Toyota's hybrids had a very slow start because they
were expensive and they were only were suitable for Taxis
that put up 100Ks P/A. As the price gap between them and ICEs
dropped, market share increased.

IMO the best way for Aus o rapidly decrease vehicle CO2 emissions
and the import fuel bill is to allow the importation of cheap used
Japanese cars to replace the fuel guzzlers owned by those who
can't afford to spend over $5K for a car. This would also drop
the pricing of used cars in Aus generally and put downward
pressure on new car pricing, IMO.

In 2002 the then local manufacturers mad submissions to a senate
inquiry that to continue the then Used Car Import Scheme would
put new car manufacturing in jeopardy because of downward price pressure.

If that was true then according to the manufacturers, then why is it not true now?
