Beware of the F.U.D. from vested interests (e.g. fossil fuel companies, some "journalists", shock-jocks, etc.), and from ignorance.

Just read some of the comments for F.U.D. and for ignorance.

Why is Australia so far behind in EV vehicles and infrastructures compare to other countries

Government inactions. With no government policies in place (go or bad) businesses don’t take the risk for investment, hense to slow infrastructure roll out. That’s why after Tesla, the motor clubs of Australia are the ones rolling out the most fast chargers in Australia. Goes for cars as well. With no guidance of rebates/ incentives / policies, car companies don’t wanna risk a roll out here, especially with us being a right hand side drive country, which is only 30% of the car market last I saw. Look at the UK. With things in place like above, their renewables investment is massive, both in cars and infrastructure.
