Modernisation will not be stalled or driven by costs
In the end profits will always drive change EVs are coming change always is

I like electric cars but they are boring to drive.

Thanks for the thread t has been interesting and in about ten years, with the introduction well under way we can have fun, looking back at this
Failed scare campaign, even failed untruths,deliberate untruths
But for sure and certain we are headed for an EV in most homes

You don't have to be Nostradamus to know EV's will be a big part of future urban transport, at least. However, will Gov't force the issue with subsidies and disincentives to drive ICE's, as has been applied in Norway? At least they have hydro to balance the carbon equation (from manufacture to grave) whereas Oz will run on fossil fuels for a long time ahead making the equation barely marginal. My prediction is the poorer will subsidize the richer, as has been the case with PV installations.

Belly,

t's not certain at all. With driverless Ubers around, it may be that most homes don't have cars at all

Aidan,

Many years ago a friend of mine worked it out that if he didn't buy a new car he could take taxis, when necessary, on the interest.
He lived in Marrickville, Sydney and was close to public transport for getting to work or going to the city.
