IS INTERNAL COMBUSTION DEAD? IT DEPENDS WHETHER YOU RESPECT THE FACTS.

EV Channels Review

John Cadogan critically dissects a recent agreement by five Australian automotive organizations on a national fleet transition strategy. He dismisses the agreement as a "crayon-powered audition" and a "masturbatory policy soiree," arguing that the organizations are out of touch with reality and the capabilities of the current market. Cadogan highlights the vast disparity between EV sales (1.5% of the market) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle sales (98%), emphasizing that popular vehicles like the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger have no direct EV equivalents. He contends that a rapid transition to EVs is impossible due to infrastructure limitations, the sheer number of vehicles involved, and the time required to replace the existing ICE fleet. Cadogan also criticizes the lack of transparency and consumer protection in areas like novated leasing, which he sees as a vehicle for potential exploitation. His overall verdict is that the proposed "utopia" is unrealistic and based on fraudulent concepts, lacking respect for factual constraints.
