Not sure what you mean by the first bit I quoted - but I agree that it is a stepping stone.

As an aside - Tasmania has the cleanest power in AU, and victoria the dirtyest (they burn brown mud). So in Tassie - a plug in EV would have a huge environmental benefit, whereas in VIC, not so much.

Coal combustion produces SOx, Hg and Radon emissions that are orders of magnitude above what an IC engine produces (on a kWh basis) - even china has SOx scrubbers on coal power stations - but we don't . So if you are buying a plug-in ev (outside TAS or SA), it would be a good idea to also install a grid interactive solar system.
