Bullshit Billy reckons it will only take 8 to 10 MINUTES to re-charge your electric car. It takes longer than that to re-charge your smartphone.

[cods]

did he mention how much it will cost to fill up

I hear the cars themselves will cost a lot more....WHY?..

if everything they are made with uses wind power shouldnt that make them cheaper?????

Wind power only works when it is windy. Solar power only works when the sun shines. Bullshit Billy is full of it.

CAR PLAN IS GOING FROM BAD TO NORSE
Norway has been heralded by Labor and Tesla chief executive Elon Musk as the Utopian example of successful electric vehicle policy, but new modelling shows the country is losing $500 million a year subsidising the market.

Electric vehicle sales in the small European country hit 58 per cent of new car sales this year, but those still driving combustion engine cars have been left with the bill.

The tiny country supplements its green initiatives in part through CO2 and roads taxes on fuel which have ­pushed petrol prices to an eye-watering $3 a litre, among the highest in the world.

The average Australian uses 102.5 litres of fuel every month, which costs them $143.5 in total, according to consumer website Canstarblue.

If Australians paid Norwegian rates that figure would rise to $309.55 a month, or an extra $1992 every year in fuel prices. The cost of filling the tank on a Mazda3, the most popular new family vehicle on the market, would jump from $71.40 to $154.02. Any Norwegian wealthy enough to fill an entire Toyota Hilux 80L tank would need $241.

Other costs to taxpayers came from increasing taxation on combustion engine vehicles and offering perks to green drivers, including free parking and full access to bus lanes in some cities.
But other cities took it much further to influence drivers, such as in Oslo, where a toll on gas and diesel cars for entering — and leaving — the capital increased by 74 per cent. It led to a 4000-person protest in 2017.


The Oslo local government then tried to ban all cars from its CBD, which led to even more protests until it backed away from the proposal.

Instead, motorists were just banned from parking anywhere in the CBD.

Labor deputy leader Tanya Plibersek and Tesla chief executive Elon Musk have both pointed to Norway as a case study for Australia’s transport future but both failed to mention the significant economic caveats required for the country’s transition.

“Norway has already ­proven it could be done last month … no question Australia could do this in far fewer than 11 years,” Mr Musk tweeted earlier this week.

Norway also achieved the feat by tapping into the world’s biggest sovereign wealth fund, valued at $1.4 trillion, which was earnt from exporting oil and gas around the world.

The fund still has investments in the mining industry, ties which Norway has promised to slowly sever in a bid to go fully green.




I love it when they quote NORWAY.... who thrive on exporting fossil fuel........if they were truly going GREEN wouldnt they stop SELLING FOSSIL FUEL ABOUT 11 YEARS AGO?

Wind power only works when it is windy. Solar power only works when the sun shines. Bullshit Billy is full of it.

It is always windy or sunny, somewhere. There are also ways to store the energy produced as well, you realise?

[Outlaw Yogi]

The average household consumes 20kW of electricity per day.
The average recharge for an EV is 60kW ... thus quadrupling your power consumption.

Meanwhile the most feasible form of base load power is being phased out.

Like I've stated previously, electric cars are a fad that will fall over within 20 years, or less.
Although without reliable base load generators the fad may never take off.

As I've been banging on about for 20+ years ... the future of motor transport is running internal combustion engines on hydrogen.
