No, Labor would not be worse: Scott Morrison fuels electric vehicles’ road to Damascus.
What about all these charging stations, how much is that going to cost? I mean if you have an electric car and you live in an apartment, are you going to run the extension cord down from your fourth floor window?
“I’ll tell you what – it’s not going to tow your trailer. It’s not going to tow your boat. It’s not going to get you out to your favourite camping spot with your family.”

– The Prime Minister ridicules electric vehicles during the 2019 election campaign. He claimed yesterday that his latest never-never ‘plan’ is about “choices not mandates.” As we have seen, however, when he touts “choices not mandates,” he means no genuine choice, all mandates. Bill Shorten is justifiably flattered.
And Joe Aston chimes in nicely…
and this one was self-inflicted. The bushfires was a beat-up. This is deserved
The question is, is this the real ScoMo that he has managed to hide from the public until fairly recently, or has he been gotten at?
Either way, he is a contemptible example of a so-called Liberal P.M.
There is no getting around it (and any half-decent electrical engineer will tell you this), despite all the BS and waffle coming from Angus Taylor and others, to replace every petrol or diesel-driven vehicle in Australia will require absolutely vast amounts of electricity, far more than we are using now.
We are not going to get that extra supply of electricity from solar panels, wind turbines, and unicorn farts.
And that’s not even counting the enormous expenditure for all the extra infrastructure essential for an all electric vehicle society.
A couple of myths about EVs.
They drive more in Europe and the UK than here. we use planes.
Very easy to charge the car during the night when there is little demand and you do not have to charge it every night.
And Morrison was wrong about almost everything he said about them.
Two easy ways to reduce emissions here. Reduce the taxes on EVS and bring in some decent d standards on petrol cars. We deasil have the worst policy because we have no policy.
The slime is oozing along the road with his signature smirk. Destroying a country, a political party and the whole image of conservatism feels good apparently.

Urfban bugman alert!
Very easy to charge the car during the night when there is little demand and you do not have to charge it every night.
Particularly on a windless night, after the number of coal powered generators declines below the level needed for the base load. Just hop on your bicycle, and connect the generator for the light to the car battery, and get your daily exercise.

Nuclear power or a perpetual motion machine.
Stick to theorising about banking. You will look less stupid.
Yeah, sure, when hundreds of thousands – no, literally millions of people – are doing it at exactly the same time.
That will bring the grid crashing down very quick smart.
Electrical engineers are quite emphatic on this; if everyone has only electric cars the power grid will never cope with the massive extra demands on it.
But as usual, your ignorance is very profound.
Get a load of this plan will you. Pure unadulterated fantasy. Just fucking stop now you cretins.
Build more charging stations, thus using less electricity … an idea so crazy it just might work … if we were living in a comic book and the pages were flipping too fast for anyone to read closely.
Given that solar power is utterly free … might as well charge it every night! You know you want to.
Scumo is a f**king disgrace.
His betrayal of his base is unforgivable.
The proposal is there are 1.7 million electric vehicles on the road by 2030.
I’m thinking that’s achievabloe.
There’s your mistake, Ed. You think you are thinking.
As any electrical engineer will tell you, “you’re dreaming!”
In any case, there would need to be hundreds of recharge stations around Australia at a minimum.
So far as I know, not one has been built.
How hard is it to build a recharge Station?
There’s a powerpole every 50 yards on every street in Australia.
Not hard to build a recharge station.
Ensuring that the simultaneous use of lots of them close together doesn’t overload the circuit? Not quite so easy.
“Voluntary adoption of electric vehicles is the right pathway for reducing transport emissions over the long-term,”
Why do I suspect this will be as voluntary as the covid vaccines.
actually you can easily charge you car at night. It would not be needed every night!! Please understand the topic.
As SA shows there is plenty of power at night and the ‘target’ is modest and won’t occur unless more stringent car emission target are enacted.
EVs are no two machines. That is they can charged but they can also put power back into the system or your house or business. Happening now in Newcastle with garbage trucks.
Non Compos Mentis again displays his absolute and total ignorance of anything involving technology and engineering.
Has Non Compos Mentis lived the dream? Has he installed solar panels and a battery in his house, and bought an EV? More importantly, did he then cut his house off from the eeeevvvilll carbon emitting national grid, and live purely on ruinables?
Why do I, an Australian tax payer, have to pay for the refuelling infrastructure for a collection of rich inner city wankers who want to preen about their truly awful Tesla shitbox? The government didn’t set up the infrastructure that I use to refuel my car after all
I’m thinking there’s technology that will prevent overloading by car chargers.
And it’s only 1.7 million vehicle in 9 years time.
There’s way more than 1.7 million vehicles in Brisbane and the fuel comes by ship from Singapore, but I haven’t had any trouble filling up the Morris Oxford in the last 45 years,
1. It’s always been the same ScoMo, he just almost hid it from the beginning. He’s good at following instructions, e.g. in charge of “stoping the boats” under the direction of Abbott. He’s now following instructions from overseas – Why else would the PM of an obscure nation from the bottom of the globe be invited to the sidelines of the G7? There seemed to be a distinct uptick in his enthusiasm for all things covid control after he dog home from that shindig. Also, his caving in prior to the COP26 knees-up.
2. The only way the “transition” to wind and solar, with a bit of back up from our meagre supply of hydro, can possibly supply the electricity needs of the country is if the population was to be literally decimated. Or even further reduced than that.
Most of the dreamers simply do not understand that. They believe that the solar and wind generation can magically continue to provide the power to maintain their current lifestyles. Patsies and useful idiots.
The dangerous ones are those who do fully understand how far short the “renewables” will fall, yet are ploughing on regardless. They’ll either kill millions by removing and not replacing the baseload capacity of the (coal- and gas-fired) electricity that currently enables normal, safe, hygienic, well-lit, functioning life, or they’ll let some other means do so. Enter a virus and its “miracle” jab.
Mr Ed
I’m thinking there’s technology that will prevent overloading by car chargers.
There is. It’s called the circuit breaker. It throws out complete areas, not just a single charge point. Just like it throws out your whole house, not just one power point.
Let me remind you of what I wrote for Non Compos Mentis/Not Trampis earlier yesterday.

I look forward to your report on the success of your independent living scheme. Twelve months should be a good trial period.
