Couldn't be bothered showing the whole quote, Marcus all good points, I think a lot of people think the government has to set up the infrastructure. In most countries overseas the infrastructure is done by private enterprise. The same exists for fuel vehicles although the Government lacks the initiative to be fair. If they were to provide the same support to ICE support and revenue to EVs, it would be a different story.
But it appears in recent reports the Government are more inclined to support Hydrogen power vehicles. In saying that the failing is then the Government are forcing consumers into one area instead of providing choice.
Anyway, all the myth reports on EV's from manufacture to disposal has all been debunked. EV's are far closer to carbon-neutral and ICE, mostly due to ongoing running.
I would love to get an EV, but I do want to travel and under the current environment I am not sure I can afford a decent EV for quite a while yet.
I would also like to go camping, but EV's that are accessible will out of the price range for a lot longer. For Australia, it is mostly for the rich or well to do. Until there is a swing in popularity.
BTW, is only a condensed map, there are a lot more re-charging stations out there. I could even if all goes well be able to make it across the Nullabor on the current set-up. The only issue would be confidence in the infrastructure. Not entirely there yet.
