    The true benefit of electric cars is they take emissions away from the inner city leaving them at the source of power production, whatever that may be. Electric cars are not actually very ‘green’ in any other sense.

    There's plenty of cartoons demonstrating the major issue about the environmentally friendly car. The other problem is the limited lifespan of the batteries & the emissions caused by creating the car. Nothing is truly renewable. If we weren't so dependent of upgrading cars so often in this throwaway society we could develop a nuclear powered car.

    France generates a lot of power from nuclear. That’s a win win for them. Renewables make up a lot of the rest as in many EU countries that are mandating electric vehicles in built up areas. Petrol electric hybrids will be popular also.

    Funny how a lot of France lives within cooee of a nuclear power station quite happily and enjoy low cost reliable power.

    The adverts really apply to Australia’s energy situation. It’s a surprise we don’t have a travel warning for France due to the extreme nuclear risk our politicians are so worried about.

    Yes just look at the early nuclear submarine - capable of circumnavigating the world at 20knots using a piece of uranium no bigger than a golf ball & not having to surface for oxygen. Pretty good!

    What I find interesting is that all the areas in Australia that are Uranium rich are Aboriginal sacred areas so can't be mined Smoky D4 video

    Anyway I'm rapidly taking the thread off topic....

    The clipboard was more for stopping the engine revving at full noise (usually due to cocking up the rack balancing) than a runaway though

    Im pretty sure people driving Tesla cars for free are very happy using the free charging stations
    Head out to Hartley in the blue mountains there is a Solar genius at Hartley solar who pays ZERO to drive his car, its recharged from his panels on display out front of his shop.

    If carbon pricing wasn't killed off we would have carbon sequestration at point of production (power stations) reducing emissions significantly. But no, again to stupid to see the forest for the trees and now they have killed off any sensible investment in base load power production..........so we will be in a state of turmoil for some time with power cuts looming.
    Coal cant compete at all with renewables, no investment houses will go near coal power production.

    What part of owning a tesla ****box is FREE or ZERO ??? the purchase price $120K and then some or the cost of installing the solar panels etc?
    Return on investment looks like the only ZERO thing there.

    Motor vehicles account for around 8% of Australia's emissions, the big killer is our electricity production, you know all that nasty coal being burnt. Add to that we export 3 times as much coal as we burn. If Australia (if we actually had a working Government) was serious about our health and that of the planet we would stop burning coal and stop selling it.

    Again if Australia was serious about our health they would get rid of Australia's fleet of aging old emissions spewing trucks that are used as inner city deliveries and wharf to distribution centre deliveries. This is where real world answers lay in such hybrid and electric trucks from FUSO / DAIMLER, not pie in the sky bull**** from tesla.

    And another thread degenerates into an unhinged rant against electric cars.
