Re: Should Electric Vehicles be Banned?

Should we ban them? No.
But anyone who buys one and thinks they are saving the environment by doing so is a brainwashed moron. Production of EV vehicles is significantly more polluting than that of a regular car, and if the electricity source used to recharge it comes from coal then it's doing even more sweet FA for the environment. While also putting extra load on our ridiculously under capacity power plants. Coming black outs are a certainty in the future. The Vic government allowing the coal powered plant to be closed, and thus relying on importing electricity from other states was idiotic without the resources to replace it's output. Once we have a heatwave across the country it's lights out. 100% this will happen. Just a matter of time.
