Senior Motoring Journalist Paul Gover has taken aim at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese spruiking the delivery of a new fleet of electric trucks.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese labelled the fleet a “game changer”.
“These are vehicles that are going to do short-haul deliveries around cities,” Mr Gover told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“The other thing is, 48 I think they are delivering – and the total is going to be 60 electric trucks.
“Well, there are over 150,000 trucks on Australian roads at the moment … 60 trucks against 150,000?”

How are they being charged?
Hay albo. I pay between $6-900 dollars per week in taxes. Stop wasting my and every Australian tax payer’s money on this nonsense. You and Chris Bowen should go away and let someone sensible run the country
I work for TGE and it is the taxpayer who is paying for them and not TGE.
This is just one of the many reasons i will never vote for the 2 major parties. I bet i know what government people are investing in TGE right now.
Albo the drongo is like a little kid on Christmas morning, what a dork these trucks are proped up by Australians who didn't get a say in this idiocy, wasting millions like he did on the voice that backfired, money waster no wonder he won't drop fuel tax as he needs a cash cow.
Dear Lord. And i thought our Richi was a limp lettuce 😂
Nobody has convinced me yet that CO2 is a problem. There is no proof that CO2 has any effect on the climate.
If they're so good why are we paying for them.
Load of Bollocks! Get this lot out before they send us broke!!!!!
"FossiI" fueIs⛽️ are the lifeblood of capitaIism. It isn't about saving the pIanet, it's about destroying Western cuIture and economic systems, which prevent the current adaptations of communism from taking root. "CIimate change" is part of a multipronged attack along with "useful idiots of the revolution" cannon fodder "migrants", LGBTQ+ 🏳️🌈 , DEI, Feminism, Transmania, BLM, etc…
"The issue isn't the issue. The issue is the revolution."
F*ck off Albo, you're an idiot, and take moron friend with you. The only ones who believe you are the jobless swine who protest in the streets and annoy everyday working class people.
IF IT SOUNDS "RIDICULOUS" or its coming from "THE CLOWNS IN THE LABOUR/GREEN PARTY: then you must realise YOU MUST ,DONT YOU ????serious???? "ITS ALL FAIRY TAILS AND B.S. truck companies IT WILL SEND YOU BROKE ,,ELECTRIC TRUCKS .,.,..DRIVEN MORE THAN 60KM BECOME DUDS .IT WILL COST YOU MORE EVEN IF THE DOPE ALBANESE SAYS HELL HELPP B.S WITH CAPITOL LETTERS B.S.
Worse than having a labor government is knowing that we have people who voted for them. Thanks for nothing you morons.
Again, make Canberra 💯 % renewables….
And live steam each minute of the day
The batteries for these things are dangerous, they've had several blow up overseas…..ev trucks or ev cars not for me.
Idiot, Scam artists.
Standards in office are lower than Snake vagina.
Also made in CHINA
Albos favourite line is game changer
Don’t forget added cost of the . EV fires . 🔥
They must act on their masters wishes
OMG, we do not need any short haul, city driving electric trucks. This is a big country, so we need trucks that can actually leave the city and go further. We have small3r trucks for that. He's our game changing id..t. He is kidding, isn't he?!!!! He should bring back car manufacturing here to Australia as we did that so well, and we could build a small and medium Australian designed sedan, hatch and small SUV, something we could sell overseas and for Australian conditions, with an Australian badge, (like AMM (Aussie Made Motors) or something Aussie and Indigenous (*AIM*) combined, using some recycled metals, plastics, rubber, glass, wiring etc to keep costs lower and make it a hybrid, electric and unleaded. That would be smarter. There are cars, trucks, airplanes etc., sitting in junkyards/wrecking yards around Australia whose materials should be cleverly resourced, processed down correctly and can be recycled and repurposed and made stronger. We could also repurpose some of the car factories to be state of the art low emission factories, and lessen our importing but also be open to exporting some.
My father proudly worked for Holdens from 1943 to 1993 (50yrs). He always believed Australia needed to design and build it's own cars. It's something Australia built well, because our steel etc. was the best and still is. Our 2 parties have just f'd us over for years, since the deaths of Curtin and Chifley really, both parties.
He really does not have the nous to do anything to help this country grow and thrive. He is an embarass
ment, and a claustrophobic heavy weight around Aussies necks, dragging us down, if he does that with trucks and semi's etc. DON'T WASTE OUR RESOURCE'S AND MONEY ON THIS B.S. FFS. (Where is Dexter when you need him!!!!)
how dare you! EV Trucks range are fine provided you only transport potato chips or cotton candy!
What would this wimp know, apparently the Volvo truck had to sit on 75-80 km/hr on a return trip from Brisbane, Toowoomba, Brisbane just so it could make it back to Wacol
Under scrutiny…. you mean to say that an Albo idea may be dodgy and unsound?
Old technology
The 60 trucks are just the beginning. Then come the solar panels and the battery pack at the facility. The trucks charge at night when the sun doesn't shine so a very large back up battery is needed to charge a large number of trucks simultaneously at night. The answer to the question 'why do this' is apparently because 'it is modern'…
We can all look forward to Peter Dutton being our next PM.
Why are those professions who need a vehicle to be ready to go at a moments notice (Real Estate agents for example) returning their EV’s and buying ICE cars , and re happy to lose money in the process ?
So we won’t have food soon ,it’s criminal Communism
So you brought these trucks in and as is we have barely have enough infrastructure to power these these EV trucks. As most of our electricity comes from coal. Couldn’t he and his government wait at least until there is more charging stations around Australia. Not to mention that thanks to hydrogen powered cars in production, EVs would be due to become obsolete in the near future.
Waste tax payers money.
