Ah, there is some much bull**** in this thread that I hope it dies where it is.
Norway subsidises EVs so much that it is much cheaper to own an EV than an ICE car.
Yet 70% of EV owners also own an ICE car.
No country has exceeded 20% renewable, besides Norway with extensive Hydro, but little wind or solar. Germany has not met it's own renewable targets for 5 years and are buying lots of BROWN coal energy from Poland. They will of course buy gas from Russia one day, and what a great idea that is.
Teslas are on average the fifth car in the USA, in other words a virtue signal.
On the hot Thursday a couple of weeks ago , 90% of power in SA was produced by Gas and Diesel with wind at 5% and solar and other at 5%, plus of course the BROWN coal power from Victoria. Really clean that. Wind power reduced to about 14% of capacity Australia wide at 2.30PM on that day according to the AMEO site.
We will not know what the penetration of EVs in Australia will be for a couple of years , however in Ontario sales of EVs virtually stopped when subsidies were removed.
Dream on .
