Only 30 out of every 1,000 Indians own a car. I don't think EVs will be high on the list of India's too-solve projects.

No more gas BBQ, gas cooking at home and in resturants, so it is going to take a little longer to get your meal, and food producers using gas to cook will have to renew their ovens. The raw products that currently drive Australia and keep us in the black will give way to expensive manufacturing that has to be continually subdised by the tax payer, or in the case of solar owned and replaced by the taxpayer. I have friends who put in solar about 10 years ago, and they are replacing the panels already

An engineering company in the US assessed the maintenance requirements
if the US went 100% renewables.
They would need teams of people to change 100,000 solar panels each
and every day based on mtbf of solar cells.
Wind turbines were not mentioned.
The maintenance requirements are never spoken about when people are
telling us how cheap are renewables.
With wind turbines spread all around Australia how mant teams of
maintenance people and their trucks would be needed.
They would have to be based everywhere, Broome, Cape York, Pt Stanley
everywhere except Manly. There would be literally hundreds of them.

Answer-

As Professor Greene says "Post Grads need something to do".

Terapinn recently held the MOVE Asia 2021 virtual conference, and I got a free ticket - so I can tell you that in many Asian countries, including India, EVs are more popular than they are here. But it's mostly motorcycles rather than cars. And rather than having huge batteries and fast charging infrastructure, if the battery's running low they just go to a service station and swap it for a fully charged one.

Bazz, your figure sounds rather high. Do you have a link?

It was actually a simple calculation;
Amount of solar power needed for US divided by amount of power
expected per panel equals number of panels.
Divide number of panels by mtbf and that tells you how many you will
have to change every day.
As Aus is about 1/10 of US demand so 10,000 panels a day would need to
be replaced by that calculation. It would be roughly in that range, a
big number no natter what.
I wonder how they survive hail storms ?
Perhaps someone already has such figures stored away.
Whoops mtbf = Mean Time Between Faults
