Here’s a thought,

Seriously, passenger vehicles and vans create about 10% of the world’s global pollution.
Now if we were able to magically sell 100% BEVs today, in five years we would see
5 million BEVs on the road in Australia in a total of roughly 17 million vehicles.
In that case, assuming the BEVs create no pollution for the electricity they recharge
with and consume, that means a pollution reduction of 30% of 10% of total pollution.

That my friends is a 3% reduction of total pollution, what a friggin joke…

The biggest creators of pollution are power generation and heavy transport
like road, rail and shipping. Those are the areas tha we should be focusing on.
Offer those industries a better way and see real improvement in GHG reductions.

Passenger Vehicles have already undergone massive pollution reduction changes
and now tthe last little bits will come at massive costs for vey little improvement.
