Australian entrepreneur and businessman Dick Smith says the push by both political parties towards electric vehicles is an example of 'tokenism.
' Both Labor and the Coalition are in favour of greater electrical vehicle usage in Australia, with the Opposition supporting a target of 50 per cent of all new car sales to be electric-powered by 2030. Mr Smith says right now, electric cars are 'twice as much' to run as petrol-run vehicles. He says the technology is 'great but expensive' and on its own will not address climate change.
Agree
Dicky boy your well past your bedtime mate😂 Now off to bed and you can take your chopper with you😂 Now be a good boy😋 Off to bed😂
Tokenism is apparently enough to make every car maker to prepare for 100% ev production. Dick might consider a surname change to 'Head' in the face of world business commitment.
And he's right

Labor's electric car policy is 'utter madness': Kelly | Sky News AustraliaFULL INTERVIEW: Liberal MP Craig Kelly has labelled the Opposition's electric vehicle policy 'complete and utter madness', arguing that it will 'cost the economy billions'.\n\nLabor has said if its elected, it will aim to have electric vehicles make up 50 per cent of new car sales by 2030.\n\nMr Kelly says there is 'no place less suitable' for electric cars than Australia when the nation's energy grids are coal-fired and 'will be for years to come'.\n\nElectric vehicles in Australia, Mr Kelly says, would be essentially charged on coal-fired power and would ultimately 'increase CO2 emissions', which Labor also plans to reduce by 45 per cent.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n\n\n\n\n Gallo_Ways billshortenmp Perhaps Shorten needs to focus on other major issues facing Australians rather going to the election with a badly flawed policy and yet, where's the material coming from to build batteries for electric cars. How many recharging stations will be along the Bruce highway & others? Gallo_Ways billshortenmp Thing I don't get is, where are the sagely-nodding heads around the political errors in Coalition's 25-50% EV target for 2030? Are we just assuming they never meant it to happen, so they deserve no criticism either? Gallo_Ways billshortenmp Is this flawed electric car policy document part of the ALP National Convention policy document or a questionable one of Shorten's.
