Yarra Man; EV's are the way to go! Yep, 30 tons of earth dug up to make one battery that may last up to 8 years. The cost of replacing the battery is worth more than the EV after 7 years. Half the range of an ICE vehicle, Fewer places to fill up, 3 or 4 hours at best to charge. Charging is usually from Reliables not Renewables, restrictions on where to park due to safety concerns, specialist firemen to contain it, usually written off if you run over anything or just a minor accident, aaaaanndddd twice the price of a Reliable vehicle and 3 times the insurance cost.
