If government invested in a renewables program by installing charging stations almost equal to the amount of fuel servos we have, and heavily incentivise electric vehicles we would see a major transition without car manufacturers shoving corruption in our faces and money towards lobby groups.

Unlikely. Car manufacturers don’t particularly care how you’re going to charge it. That’s a you problem not a them problem.

They’re resisting because Oz has been a place they can dump polluting cars that are cheap to make. The big markets like EU and California have mandated EVs, if they can delay the cutoff here it buys them time to do the ramp ups they should have been doing for a decade.

Toyota in particular is the worst culprit, they spent a lot of money in the US trying to prevent ICE being banned, doing exactly the same here.
