Yeah, it’s all hype and BS to drag in investment dollars. Electric Jesus is the best at this fraud but others aren’t far behind him.

Not sure about their super capacitors though!

China is also the world leader in electric bus fires...

I actually saw a Tesla model 3 towing a teardrop camper/caravan on the Geelong ring road a couple of weeks ago.
He/she was a mobile road block doing 75-80 in a 100 zone.
My guess was he/she was desperately looking for a charger.

Lol. Don't think those BPs would be much help.

Yesterday I spotted the usual Camry Hybrid taxi going through a drive through - what was unusual was that the petrol engine was running on LPG. Not seen a Hybrid converted to LPG before.

Geelong has a lot of fast CCS charging, so unless she is very very silly, I doubt your guess.

Electric Jesus has about 6 at the Easten side of Geelong and 2 fast CCS chargers at the pool on the western side of Gelong Add RACV at Torquay which was my go-to before the several dozen more that have popped up over the last 12 months. Colac, Camperdown Warrnambool and Port Fairy even now!!

Just came back from Blues Train at Queens cliff. 250+ km and no need to use any paid charging this weekend. Solar on now.

Many mobile roadblocks 20-30kmph under the speed limits not in the left-hand lane yesterday and on the way back today. It is against the road rulz here in Vic to do that. Two side by side on the eastern freeway in middle and right-hand lane as I did the speed limit in the left-hand land 10 minutes ago [bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle]

A huge crash here on Friday night by that very special type who speeds though red lights. One or two Ambulances and a dozen police cars blocked the road for hours make me suspect significant injury or worse. Both cars were total write offs. It's crazy out their. Too many VIPs Phillip
