I'm still finding it hard to understand how anyone with even an ounce of brains could have come up with such a dumb statement. Oh wait, there was another one, a guy called Bill Shorten so apologies you are not alone. You do know last year that EV annual sales were under 2% so when is this massive swing going to eventuate.

We've had a couple of newspaper reporters do real world country driving tests in Tesla's and their comments were not all beer and skittles. One guy reported on his Tesla drive from a small section of the Nullabor and his recharging report was an absolute riot not to mention he found the Tesla was a tad underwhelming. The time lost getting recharges to start and ensure he could cover a pitiful distance of 371klm's was hilariously insane and not a good advertisement for country use.

Dude you need to give it a rest as EV's will NEVER be a major player in OZ in our lifetime. Toyota and Nissan have publicly stated they will continue to make ICE for Oz for as long as required and others will most likely do the same.

Luckily for Australia we have a very urbanised population.

Somehow a lot of people on the internet have a 400km round trip to their work/local shop and of course it’s uphill both ways just to drain the battery a little quicker.
