Spotlight dedicated more than an hour on a report into supply chains feeding into the renewables and EV industries.
Liam Bartlett proclaimed: “Every battery, every electric vehicle, every piece of so-called clean energy technology today” uses cobalt.
WRONG.

@misakghazaryan@sydney_ev@ellymelly Baseload is a supply not demand measure. Issue is stable baseload supply. Problem's not due to renewables, any more than a fixation on old technology. Modern generation needs more smaller rapid dispatch generators augmented with BESS systems to meet higher & faster peak demand.
More correctly it's a cyclone but love the feature as we often lose power during a cyclone. We'll be ready either way. Stay safe Top Enders😀

Actually, fuel excise hasn't been used exclusively for road funding since the late 1950s. It's not tied to road funding at all now, it's just consolidated revenue like all other taxes. As such, an EV drivers income tax probably pays for more roads than your fuel excise. Rather than EVs, you should be worried about those claiming excise back through the Fuel Tax Credits System. They cost us tax payers $10.2 billion in FY24/25 alone.
@StudLeeMD@BridieEV@ryanjaycowan There are lots of EVs in the outback these days. Not many in 2018 when we started wandering, but we see them everywhere now. Oh and modern EVs provide range confidence, I've never had anxiety when the car provides so much real-time data. Orange fuel light is real range anxiety!
Happy to help with commissioning testing the new @NRMA DC fast chargers at Adelaide River, NT. Fantastic location & facilities at a very popular stop. Hearty congrats to all involved 👍
@Jays200@DavidCaoEV Pretty sure I have pics of our legacy MX hanging out with both of your cars over the years. Good to hear we are all still getting updates...well our cars are anyway 🙂

Gorgeous Top End morning for a @teslaownersau and @AEVA_National NT Cars & Coffee meet up. Nightcliff jetty in the (nearly) dry season is pretty hard to top. Road trips were a hot topic, including visiting the @NRMA Katherine fast chargers. Time to get back on the road 😀
