My petrol car only has a range of 500km or so.


So can you also say that the infrastructure doesn't exist for petrol vehicles?


No?


Okay then, is it that there are no charging stations to be found withinin that 500km journey?


Nope. Look at the map. You'd struggle to drive 500km anywhere in coastal Australia *without running across a charging station.


And let's face it, no-one drives for 800km without stopping, do they? Snacks, wee breaks, etc. I really don't understand what the reticence is here. My next car will be electric, I'm hoping. But without mass adoption we're being left behind in what is an inevitable change. Already car manufacturers are avoiding releasing electric models here because our environmental policies are so backward they damage market. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05-...rket/100173124


Free markets are deciding in favor of renewables all over the world, except here for some reason.
