@VoteArjay @aaronsmith @simonahac Why on earth would anyone primarily charge at superchargers? It’s expensive and not reccomended. People charge at home.

@aaronsmith @simonahac @Simonahac, who blocked me years ago for winning a Twitter argument, lies in his '13c/kWH too'. Google AI:"Tesla Supercharger pricing in Australia typically averages between $0.50 and $0.70 per kWh, varying by...For a 57.5 kWh battery, a 0–100% charge generally costs roughly $40"

This little app by @simonahac compares the cost per km of the top 10 selling ICE vehicles with the top 10 selling EVs, using current petrol prices and the average charging rate over the past 24 hours. It's both fascinating and compelling. petrol-vs-electric.vercel.app/models

@stewiexgreen @aaronsmith @simonahac I think that’s true - if you’re not actively looking for a new car, it might not be worth it, but as soon as you are - it’s a no brainer

@aaronsmith @simonahac I did the math on whether it was advantageous for me to sell my 9 year old vehicle and buy a comparable Tesla (I own a diesel, so I am looking at alternatives). I'd break even after 10 years! So unless someone NEEDS a new car, it's not worth it.

@DaleDarcy4 @sydney_ev Why would you only look at deaths?

@iinka @sydney_ev 3684 is not a huge figure for our population......half of that isn't attributed to Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)  Maybe city dwellers need to be paying the bill for air quality?

Essentially free fuel if you have an #EV. before commenting about rich EV buyers, free energy period applies to NON ev owners, load shift, work from home? many ways to benefit, change hot water heater settings, set air con to cool/heat in that time solarquotes.com.au/blog/victoria-…

@DaleDarcy4 @sydney_ev The cost of tailpipe emissions and the affect on our population is hugely costly.

@sydney_ev @iinka Most goes on roads, if you use a arterial Rd, interstate, some main roads your freeloading in a EV. Time to start paying your way properly like the rest of us... Sounds like this might be happening sooner, rather than later.

@DaleDarcy4 @sydney_ev Nonsense. That revenue goes into general federal funding that pays for many essential services at federal level.

@iinka @sydney_ev You just justified the canning of fuel excise.....

@DaleDarcy4 @sydney_ev The majority of roads people use on a daily basis are the responsibility of state governments and councils. That money comes from elsewhere.

@iinka @sydney_ev They do pay, it's just our stupid governments keep raiding the cookie jar for other things. Part of it is still used for roads like it was intended for.

@Lionelmandrak13 @MarkOgge When 1/5 of the world’s supply is impacted, all sources are impacted. Others who used to buy from other sources go to Asia. Asia starts selling less because they’re worried about getting more. And a lot of what we get from Asia is refined. Did you check where they get that oil?

We don't buy oil from there. Australia has 2 refineries left and both mostly refine Australian oil from Bass Strait, the Otway Basin, and the Cooper Basin. in fact we mostly import refined fuel from south east asia. The USA has surplus fuel and oil. we should be buying from the USA frankly.

Albo: “hey team … you won’t believe it, but that illegal attack that we were the first country in the world to support… on the country that controls the Strait of Hormuz, where all our oil comes from, has caused a fuel crisis here… in Australia! …who’d have thought!?… any ideas anyone?”

@Lisa9Sophia @OneNationAus How is that broken? You need to take into account second preferences if you’re going to make these types of claims.

How broken is our democracy? Labor wins 38% of the vote and walks away with 70% of the seats in South Australia The silver lining is Millennials 🧡 @OneNationAus

@DaleDarcy4 @sydney_ev ICE cars don’t pay for road maintenance either. The fuel tax doesn’t go into a “roads budget” it goes into general revenue. We all pay for roads with our income taxes, and state taxes

@sydney_ev I just want to know when you'll start paying for rd maintenance, instead of hanging sh1t on the rest of us whilst freeloading at our expense....

@LongrodVonHug17 @GreenTyler27 In the last quarter half of the Australian grid was provided by renewables. + a significant portion of drivers charge their vehicles directly from the sun. + EVs use fossil generated energy significantly more efficiently than ICE burning petrol. Without the tailpipe emissions.

Once you include transmission, backup, storage and reliability costs, the “cheap” narrative falls apart pretty quickly.

@prickly_pickles @ethanmwolf Maybe you’re just not his target audience? That doesn’t change what his message is.

@ethanmwolf I don’t agree with nick about much, but he is a skilled communicator. Hasan is a vocal fried moron acting like an edgy teenager

Let’s be clear. Hasan Piker = Nick Fuentes. Two sides of the same coin. Don’t campaign with either.

@curiouscat34168 @sydney_ev Yeah, because “community towns” classically have no electricity.

@iinka @sydney_ev The distance traveled before refuel Average 2000 ks for ICE trucks. Flooded rivers is another POD. I would hate to think an ev truck lets a community down when they are desperate for food and diesel supplies when they can't get there in time because there's no charge point.

many argue that #EV trucks wont work for longer haul, even though some are now capable of 500Km or more at GVM. saying charge times are to long for the industry, reality is, Accountants will make the call, and if an EV truck can save them $5K in fuel per trip, it will happen.

@curiouscat34168 @sydney_ev Ya, sure buddy. interestingengineering.com/energy/china-e…

@iinka @sydney_ev Just did a quick Google search The heaviest payload an ev can carry is about 65 ton. The big quad trucks travelling the outback start at 100-180 ton payloads. Come back to me when there's ev trucks that can cope with those weights and road conditions.

@curiouscat34168 @sydney_ev No? diesel used in a generator to run an EV is multiple times MORE efficient and completely cuts out tail pipe emissions. It’s a much more effective and efficient use of diesel. Regarding the roads - exactly how do you think an EV differs so much from a regular truck?

@iinka @sydney_ev What's laughable is your ignorance of how bad those roads can get and how remote some of those communities are in the Territory in particular. BTW, their power source comes from diesel generators that the big trucks bring in. Rather defeats the purpose does it not?

@curiouscat34168 @sydney_ev While I agree that charging over these distances is a short term issue in some cases - it’s absolutley wild you think there is such a significant difference in EVs that they couldn’t drive on outback roads. Laughable.

@iinka @sydney_ev Have you never been on outback roads probably not, by that comment. If you want to be educated watch the TV show outback truckers that will show you the road conditions they deal with. There aren't charging points every 400 kilometers out there either.

@mxtchos @mv1siala Name checks out - we don’t have a lot of time for your kind

@mv1siala I do not know a single person who came from canberra

canberra in australia

@broncobilly82 @LeonSimons8 It was just under 4 years for me.

@LeonSimons8 how many decades for the ROI

Our solar panels were not blocked by any war today. 112 kWh and going.

@curiouscat34168 @sydney_ev Are you suggesting EV vehicles would have trouble with an unsealed road?!

@iinka @sydney_ev Ok on sealed highways but on these roads???

@malootopg @ALeighMP That’s not an ON policy tho?

@ALeighMP Everything you’re saying is what I want for Australia no power agreement no climate change we should have at least 10 coal fire power stations in Australia and we should be selling all our resources for a minimum of 65% tax back to Australia Australian

Noticing more One Nation content in your feed? Before you decide to hit play, it’s worth taking a closer look at what they’re actually proposing.

@GavinBrx @ALeighMP Renewables are VERIFYABLY cheaper. Power bills are going up due to fossil fuels and retail price gouging. Powere bills are among the world’s most expensive because we’re NOT transitioning to renewables quick enough. Check the wholesale data - compare the prices. It’s clear

If we DON’T build new Coal Fired Power Stations and stick with Labor’s renewables-only push instead: Economically: Power bills stay sky-high (among world’s most expensive) with forecasts of sharp rises after subsidies end, factories close or flee overseas, killing jobs and productivity. Socially: Blackouts and energy poverty hammer working families and regional towns hardest — mums and dads choosing between heating and groceries. If we DON’T expand gas generation and follow Labor’s limited gas + heavy renewables path instead: Economically: Grid instability forces expensive imports and backups, driving up wholesale prices passed straight to households and small business. Socially: Regional communities in QLD/WA lose jobs while families face unreliable supply and higher costs every winter. If we DON’T develop nuclear power generation and keep Labor’s renewables-only ban on nuclear instead: Economically: No cheap long-term baseload means decades of higher energy costs and lost manufacturing investment. Socially: Future generations inherit energy dependence and blackouts instead of secure, high-skill jobs and independence. If we DON’T reform the NDIS and continue Labor’s current approach instead: Economically: The $50B+ scheme keeps bleeding billions to fraud and over-claiming every year, blowing out budgets and forcing tax hikes or cuts elsewhere. Socially: Genuine disabled Aussies wait longer while the system favours waste — taxpayers lose trust and vulnerable people suffer. If we DON’T cut Government spending and stick with Labor’s big-spending trajectory instead: Economically: Debt interest and bureaucracy swallow billions yearly, crowding out tax relief and infrastructure. Socially: More red tape and higher taxes crush small business and families, eroding the fair go for everyday workers. If we DON’T back our law enforcement officers and follow Labor’s softer priorities instead: Economically: Rising crime costs (hospitals, insurance, lost work) keep hitting taxpayers hard. Socially: Streets feel less safe — kids can’t play outside freely and families live with constant worry. If we DON’T make housing a right for all Aussies and continue Labor’s high-migration + foreign investment settings instead: Economically: Record migration pressures drive rents and prices even higher, locking young families out. Socially: Generational inequality explodes — the Aussie dream of home ownership slips away for locals. If we DON’T ban sales of farmland to foreign entities and allow Labor’s open approach instead: Economically: More Australian land and food profits flow overseas, pushing up grocery prices. Socially: Regional towns and farmers lose control of the land that feeds the nation — sovereignty erodes. If we DON’T introduce income splitting and tax reform and keep Labor’s current system instead: Economically: Families (especially single-income) stay penalised, reducing workforce participation and take-home pay. Socially: Harder to raise kids, fewer Australian families, and less reward for hard work. If we DON’T give jobs preferences to Australians and continue Labor’s skilled migration focus instead: Economically: Wages get undercut and training dollars go overseas, inflating unemployment and welfare. Socially: Young Aussies and tradies get pushed aside — no fair go in our own country.
