Australia’s most popular car brand has launched a stinging attack on electric vehicles, claiming they are not ready for our roads, not as green as they seem, and remain “impractical for the vast majority of Australian motorists”.
“ make sense right now in places like Norway where most energy is renewable and incomes are high but Australia is not Europe,” he said. He pointed to Australia’s growing use of renewable electricity and said thousands of drivers were using “100 per cent clean energy from the sun” to fuel their cars. “You’d think that common sense would tell you to push back against arguments that talk down Aussie jobs and opportunities in a booming battery sector,” Mr Jafari said.
