    There are a lot of niches where electric vehicles are completely inappropriate. Despite the inefficiencies of ICE, petrol is still has the best power:weight of all mainstream and niche power sources.

    Diesel still has the best Power:$ ratio, despite the current price increases.

    There is still a national network that can support ICE vehicles while a network to support EVs is still being rolled out and is also still depended on Diesel Generators.

    Don’t get me wrong; EVs are perfect for short trips in developed areas, and a lot of country towns have one or two EV chargers for tourists from the big smoke, but for a lot of Australians, EVs are not even a pipe dream.
