@stupidtechtakes @Betnzkiwi @telukwaitemata Wow! That’s great news, I have never heard those claims before, where can I find that information?

@Betnzkiwi @telukwaitemata EV batteries can last over 20 years. The battery would likely outlive the bus, and can be recycled after

Not UK, not USA, not Australia, not Norway, not Switzerland not Singapore. New Zealand.

@ev_australia Not a very reassuring answer. There’s a problem, you know there’s a problem. But the odds that your house and car disintegrate are relatively small! Better hope that you are not the one.

@GullyRodger There are around a million EV running on the right now. But what you say is right. Okay.

Unpopular opinion: The biggest barrier to EV adoption in Australia isn't cost, range, or charging. It's that no one in their life owns one yet. Once you test drive..... it's over! You're buying one within few weeks/months! EV ownership is contagious. Change my mind. 👇

@Foester @ev_australia Unfortunately when they do it is cataclysmic. Why don’t you ask a professional firefighter what they about the dangers of EVs and other lithium batteries? Rather than downplay this, why don’t you look for a solution.

@GullyRodger @ev_australia Combustion engine cars statistically catch fire more often compared to full electric cars.

@CouldntBeArsed1 @ev_australia Unfortunately when they do it is cataclysmic. Why don’t you ask a professional firefighter what they about the dangers of EVs and other lithium batteries? Rather than downplay this, why don’t you look for a solution?

@GullyRodger @ev_australia Numbers from USFDs show that percentage wise EVs have the least number of fires. So there's that.

@ProfRayWills @Chargefox @woolworths It is unusual for a ‘professor’ to talk in such a small minded way.

The oil price not ruining my long easter weekend Charging the car on @Chargefox while hitting the shops at @woolworths on the way home…

@shoebil57672266 Yes it was sarcasm, and funny when read as such. Unfortunately there a lot of touchy people out there at the moment and your post was similar to something Bowen said. Yes he really told people to check their tyre pressure!

Fuck I got some with this , read my tweet history or understand satire to prevent making a knob of yourself people #Auspol2026

@sydney_ev 🤣🤣🤣🤣 WTF is that?

The hardest part of #EV ownership... Un learning the petrol car owner mindset.

@ev_australia @elonmusk @Tesla @TeslaAUNZ Good to hear, are there maps or are they on Google maps?

EV charging in Australia is improving fast. Not perfect yet… But way better than most people think. @elonmusk @tesla @TeslaAUNZ

@AvonandsomerRob Still too expensive.

The new BMW iX3 gives you almost 500 miles range and 0-60 in 6 seconds. We've now reached the age where electric cars have longer range than petrol. How long are you going to suffer £1.70 a litre, when an overnight charge, and 500 miles will cost you £7?

@ev_australia I like to get good quality information about EVs, unfortunately this site is sounding like a pompous skite with little information. Hopefully it will improve.

Woke up this morning with a "full tank." Didn't go to a servo. Didn't spend $120. Just… plugged in overnight like my phone. Owning a Tesla in Australia is genuinely unfair to petrol drivers. I feel bad. (I don't.) ⚡🤣

@evcricket Everyone is complaining about the cost of fuel except a small number of people. No-one is fighting against EVs, just stop trying to shove them down our throats. We will buy them when they make economic sense.

I'm confident that the people who have fought against EVs the last few years are the same folks who are complaining that petrol is too expensive.

@innercityuprise @Sauronlordking They were very expensive at the time, then the cost of fuel rose rapidly. They were also in a niche market competing with some very desirable cars.

@Sauronlordking The Landau. They just didn’t cut it I reckon. Something always weird about it

When Australia was pumping.

@taipan168 12 posts per day, every day for 17 years with an underlying nastiness.

These wind turbines can supply 80% of the power requirements of Albany in WA. Imagine being triggered by them. 🙄

@bxxurscsQtCwBW8 @sydney_ev Is that the Australian treasurer? 😁

@sydney_ev @GullyRodger Greatnomics…

a Windrose #EV Truck, just competed a loaded B Double run from Sydney to Canberra non stop, no need to charge, 100% electric. total cost $50 approx. Diesel would have cost near $500 or more. We have solutions to our fuel crisis.. #auspol #trucking brisbanetimes.com.au/environment/cl…

@bigboatbruce @UniqueImagesAus @sydney_ev I hope they do well.

@UniqueImagesAus @GullyRodger @sydney_ev Wind rose are an Australian company building EV trucks

@HughButler35 Why haven’t urban trucks switched over to electric?

Electric trucking in Australia could smash diesel imports and cost in less than 4 years. Transport accounts for 20% of the nation's emissions. Electric B-Double prime movers cost about 30 c/ km for electricity, a third of diesel's cost. Analysis by David Leitch confirms that replacing the ~ 6,000 prime movers on the Sydney - Melbourne route saves over 4 billion litres. Payback in just 4 years. If expanded to Brisbane, it would account for about 54% of diesel imports. $10 billion in imports are gone. Sovereignty gained. Why not?

@sydney_ev @genkakrokodil @LiberalAus You have just contradicted yourself. 900 kms, Syd. to Bris. 1 charging station along the way required. The roads have nothing to do with the federal government, they are a state government responsibility

@genkakrokodil @LiberalAus private companies are building networks... and with 600km ranges, the charging will most likely be at the depot level. where they already have electricity

Trucking giants Volvo & Windrose are ready to electrify the Melbourne SYD Brisbane freight corridor TODAY but clashing state/federal axle weight rules and zero highway chargers are blocking it, not forget the lost decade of EV inaction from @LiberalAus afr.com/politics/feder…

@RageSheen That’s correct, it is currently not economically viable for the transport industry to go electric. Operators want the government to subsidise changing their trucks over and for the taxpayer to pay for the infrastructure.

@GullyRodger 7news.com.au/news/truck-ind…

Stats for a fuel crisis. The fuel tankers that deliver fuel within Australia annually travel a distance equivalent of travelling from the Earth to the Sun, and back, and then back to the Sun again. They use probably over 200 million litres of diesel themselves, on those trips, to move the fuel to where it’s needed. The electricity grid on the other hand is already plugged in to most locations. No transportation required. Energy moves at the speed of light to where it’s needed, instantly.

@RageSheen Not until they become cheaper.

@GullyRodger So trucking is going electric. That’s a good thing.
