[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 664222, member: 4386"] Probably solar or wind charging large and expensive storage batteries. But given the infrastructure cost, it will not be cheap electricity. Imagine the setup required for somewhere like the Nullarbor roadhouse if everyone coming through was using an EV, even the trucks. And they would have to be very close together - this was a light car. Amazed that the ACT has announced "EV cars only" for the future. What happens with petrol cars visiting the ACT? What happens if you move to the ACT with your petrol car? Will they charge you road tax on every km driven outside the territory as Victoria does now, regardless of your type of car? Victoria shows you the stupidity of charging ahead without thought (I immediately abandoned the idea of getting a hybrid). To me the push for all EV in Australia is moronic - just let the market evolution take its course. Many will buy little city EVs if that is all they drive or if they have 2 cars (as most households do). We do not have to be forced. [/QUOTE]
