Deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley told Sky News no one in the world is making an electric ute. Is that correct? RMIT ABC Fact Check investigates.

abc.net.au/news/fact-check-sussan-ley-electric-ute/101386412On the eve of the much-anticipated Jobs and Skills Summit, the opposition has hit out at the Albanese government's failure to invite the Motor Trades Association to the two-day talkfest despite including electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla on its guest list.

Additionally, plans for a number of electric utes have been announced by companies such as Tesla and Chevrolet. An Australian company, ACE, is also taking reservations for its Yewt electric model.

Part two of EV engineering facts with mechanical engineer John Cadogan of AutoExpert - “Facts, you don’t have to like them, but you are supposed to be a journalist reporting the facts”

I do like a good political roasting, however it would be good if the tax payer funded ABC perhaps did a little more research … Mechanical Engineer John Cadogan

My 10 year old grandson could have corrected her on that,,,,but hey,,,RMIT away 🤦‍♂️

ALWAYS BEEN TALKS SHIT NEVER ANY ACTION SUSSAN ONE OF THE WORSE LIBERAL PROFORMERS OF ALL TIME

Yes but in the USA they call they trucks not Ute's so maybe she is right

Well that clipped her right wing rhetoric.

But facts get in the way of a good story

Im glad the ABC gets paid to do what I can do with a simple google search.

ok but this may seem unfair but was she the model for Geraldine Gee for Ron Blaskett , under 40 use Google

Anyone living in the 'NOW' & not the 'PAST' knows She

This is pretty close to fraud

Aunty, you do realise the other mob are in Government now ?

Shes a liar? Not a surprise, remember Scotty from Marketing had full support of these numptys when he was out shouting about how crap EVs were

Electric cars will end the weekend 🤣🤣🤣 LNP propaganda.

Susan you mean.

Proof yet again, that the LNP literally couldn’t tell the truth, if their lives depended upon it! 👎🏿

Sussan Ley is the living embodiment of being able to bullshit your way into any position.

How many Tradies will be able to afford them ? May be OK for Companies who can afford.

Fact checks aren't good enough as an after the fact article. The claim was made and a genuine journalist would have countered and called this out as another lie at the time.

Well colour me purple, Sussssy was wrong! What a revelation!

Like the horse industry facing the advent of motor cars, some people are still spreading manure.

Good on ya ABC, Labor leaning, Lefty Luvvies you will get an increase in your budget so you can teach our kids how to transition to Penguins

Can’t wait to charge a 500kg battery every night using my 8kw solar panels that will be producing no power.

The answer is that her own colleagues stifled EV imports into Shittsville by taxation, a lack of charging infrastructure & lax emission requirements on existing ICE vehicles all contributed to EVs being withheld from the local market.

While leaving Susan to so Susan things is fun to watch a Ute is a work tool. Tradies aren’t going to jump into Ute costing 2.5x today’s Ute prices without major price drops and the charging infrastructure.

Verdict: Ley is not even basically informed but people bother to listen to her bilge.

That they are as useless as the ABC

Sussan Ley hammering in the LNP’s increasing irrelevance. LNPWorstAustralianOpposition It’s worth remembering that democracy is best served when governments have a competent opposition.

Thanks Captain Obvious

Fact-checking from a used car salesman selling the nastiest cars on the planet is more trustworthy than ABC News.

Snore

Nothing more than a fraud.

'We fact checked Sussan Ley and found that she's a liar' I could have told you that - I saw her lips moving.

🤣🤣🤣 USA Rivian has been around for 2+ yrs

The verdict Ms Ley is wrong Case closed. Bake him away toys.

She lies, lies and more lies and unfortunately she is my member in parliament 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Well after you spent 20seconds fact checking Sussan Ley and finding her WITHOUT FACTS how did you spend the rest of the day ?

Seriously you needed to fact check her So far this decade everything she has said is either false, or LNP propaganda based on conspiracy theories

You had to fact check that?

LNP - never let the truth get in the way of a good lie. Then deny everything - bury it - refuse to talk sbout it - then make out the government said it.

The F150 Lightning is Fords flagship electric vehicle...

I would like to know fully loaded towing a loaded trailer as all the mileage forecasts are built on an empty vehicle with one guy in it . A bit of honesty would go a long way and there is none with electric vehicles sales .

What is it with utes. Seem distinctly dysfunctional IMO

You would fact check her if she said ' Good Morning'!

Ley full of hot air and not much more? Cue shocked Pikachu face.

She’s never heard of the Ford 150 electric Ute? And other American E-Ute products. If Ford's doing it it must be a good financial bet. How can such a dope hold a shadow ministry? Oh, of course, she’s a Lieberal. Big mouth, small brain.

That one would be as hard to verify as fact checking if flys have wings.

sussanley how this annoying ABC saying this about you ? Please tell me who to believe.

How about you fact check Albo first?!

Can we have a permanent web page dedicated to people like them?

Pleased you have called her out over her lies! LNPCorruptionParty keep dishing them out and MSM amplify them! Thanks abc 👍

So why wasn't MTA invited but Tesla apparently was?

There are no usable EV Utes. When loaded up or towing, their range becomes almost unusable.

Say it enough and you believe it obviously! Numpty

She’s not very competent. Even at lying

TL;DR - she's full of bullsh**

Yes there are two companies. One Ford starts at $75,000 AUD for the base model. The other Rivian starts at $135,000. There are no Ute's comparable to petrol on the market for a similar cost

sussanley - just another liberal liar, lying liberally

There's only one rule. If it can't hold a full size pallot then it's not a Ute.

Susan the best you can do it’s shut you mouths because you only talk craps

she is worse than mule

Not really newsworthy though, is it? TBH I've flushed things that were more intelligent than Susssssan Ley. But if it helps to set the costs straight, then so be it.

Got anything go say sussanley ? Maybe do some research before spruiking?

You found that she's a dope?

You needn’t have bothered. Many of Twitter let her know she was talking utter rubbish. auspol

WHAT ? LNP Coalition made more factually false claims related to climate change ? Next you will be telling us that BoJo held secret parties 10 and Trump stole classified secrets and took them to his private home. Pure coincidence that they are all conservatives.

Really ABC? you anti CHINA bias is showing. Here are the top 8 Chinese pickups. Some are here already as IC This one is here with a 160KW turbo diesel

Great - if you are not concerned about range, recharge and child labour 🤔

Moot freakin point if australian's cant buy the damn things. How about removing all tariffs and the LCT on all electric cars? You know... given how we dont need to protect an industry that doesn't exist anymore?

1st Ms.Ley saying you support - Farmers Markets- but backed indue card - preventing mill from buying at Farmers Markets. 2nd if you are so interested in products made in Au why did you support a gov who'd sold aus made overseas? Ev Utes are as affordable as any utes.sussanley

Why bother fact checking Susan Ley? Why even listen to her?

Well picked up ALPBC….

Be nice if she fact checked herself before she offered authoritative comments. LNP discussion has the credibility of an across the back fence chat with a neighbour.

Now fact-check the ClimateChangeHoax TheirABC

Hi sussanley, Since you have a sound knowledge of EV's, any idea when a remote controlled, electrically powered whiteboard will become available? Asking for a colleague of yours. SenatorCash

Here she goes again firing from the hip, better not to open your mouth at all if you cannot be sure what comes out isn’t correct, seems that is happening with regularity!

EV’s are the worst fire hazard on the roads. Death traps waiting for a place to happen.

Rivian and Ford are the only ones with road legal EV utility vehicles but their sizes make them pick up trucks. Utes are slightly smaller as per the Australian automobile code in order to fit on our narrower roads. No one's making EV utes.

Libs/Nats never let the truth get in the way of a good rant. Tilt away. More windmills (turbines) out there every day.

who wasted their time factchecking, absolutely she is wrong

PFFFFFFT! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. YOU CANT DO IT!!!!

This is what the ABC should be talking about. 'Albanese government's failure to invite the Motor Trades Association to the two-day talkfest' But hey, then the ABC would have to ask somebody from Labor a question.

Just like SCUMMO saying that electric cars would ruin everybody’s weekend interesting to see how many of LNP politicians drive around in an electric car and Sussan Key is just an ignorant unintelligent politician and what makes it worse we pay her thousands of $ yearly

LNP? Lying

Funny how the climate change deniers continuously spin nonsensical yarns. Very happy to see not many Aussies fall for it.

Great to see the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party with her 'finger on the pulse'. 🙃 sussanley LiberalAus PeterDutton_MP D_LittleproudMP

sussanley found your new profile pic:

This one wouldn't have been too difficult to fact check...

“Ms Ley is wrong. There are at least four electric utes being manufactured and sold overseas, including a ute made by Ford and an electric ute version of General Motors' Hummer.”auspol
