Eldritch kcarruthersAlbo should immediately announce a 1m EV subsidy: Replacing 1m petrol cars with EVs could cut Australia’s reliance on foreign fuel by 1bn litres a year #AusPol
warkolm@kcarruthers if he was smart he'd do it for petrol powered garden tools as well, that's a much lower hurdle and an easy way to break in
@warkolm great idea
@warkolm you can tell I am not a gardener ;)

My lawn mower uses about 5l of fuel per year. Subsidising replacing it would be very cost ineffective. Replacement need to target big users. Replacing Melbourne-Sydney trucks with electric ones would be much better benefit oer dollar.

@DavidPenington it's more than the direct cost of fuel though
it's a change in mindset
