    Wow, Australia really fell for the whole “Electric Motors” leftist conspiracy didn’t they?

    Australians aren’t stupid. If EVs and hybrids have reached a price/performance/practicality point where it makes sense to jump to them, then they will.

    They don’t give a crap about people who carry on about woke leftist conspiracy agendas or whatever, especially when the bulk of those people come from the country that thought that crippling oil production in the Middle East was a good idea.
