Almost every developed country around the World has their act together about electric vehicles, and
decarbonising of their transport sector, except Australia. The starting price of the electric F-150 is stated to start at $40,000, which compares to the top end price of Hilux utes and the Ford Ranger. And certainly compares to the Land Rover Defender, and Discovery. Toyota has said there will be a hybrid Diesel/ electric 'Lux by 2025, and Ford have promised a full electric Ranger by 2030.
From the New Daily, Australia left in the dust when it comes to next generation Utes.
Electric utes in Australia are a long, long way off – but they needn't be (thenewdaily.com.au)
2030 according to Ford Australia - and I agree they need to get their skates on - the Ranger is the only thing keeping Ford Dealers doors open these days making up 70% of their vehicle sales in Australia - if they lose their market share going forward, they'll go the same way that Holden has (With a care factor of Zero from me if it does)Quote:

Infrastructure in the USA is marginal at best, almost non existent.
Very few countries are capable of taking up on mass and handling the imposed loads.
Then there’s the raw resources needed for mass production - there isn’t enough processing power out there.
Then let’s put Australia in context- **** all people scattered all over the place. Not a lot of per capita base for cost dilution.
Read a story today which stated the EV F-150 won't be coming here because our EV infrastructure is so far behind the rest of the world. Same story said Nissan is not bringing its latest EVs here either, for the same reason.
Volvo releases its pricing for its first all electric SUV in Australia, XC40m recharge. The first EV released in Australia under the Volvo brand, with a 418 km range, dual 150kW motors output of 300kW with 660 Nm of torque.

Australia raises the luxury car tax threshold for EV's for the second year in a row. Starting July 1, the LCT for EV's and fuel efficient cars will be relaxed to $ 79,659, while the threshold for ICE cars will be raised to $ 69,152. The latest LCT movements were welcomed by Australia's EV Council as a number of new models will come under the new threshold, including the Tesla Model 3 standard range plus, the newly launched KIA e-Niro , the Nissan leaf e+, and the Hyundai Kona and Ionic EV's.From the driven;

The Sydney ones were apparently taxis in North Sydney for a short time. Run out of power or Covid19 iced? [bigwhistle]

I wonder if Landrover will survive a billion $ write off just reportedly announced for a canned Ranagie EV and killing the Jag Ev ipace.
One a brighter note 2026 is also in a link in that link [bigwhistle]google "Jaguar to to all Electric by 2025 and Rover to phase out Diesel by 2026 "
Our shocking lack of planning for this may bite us I think. Fully expecting lots of dumping into Australia of end of line vehicle redundant in most parts of the world soon.
"EU carbon price hits record 50 euros per tonne on route to climate target" is now. Most people/business did not think that level would occur until 2050! That alone will shake up the entire industry in the EU. The EU GDP is about $15 trillion or 1/6th of the world GDP.
