Sky News host Andrew Bolt has blasted the Albanese government over its “ruinous push” to make Australians buy electric cars.
“There’s got to be an easier way to deal with our failing power system,” Mr Bolt said.
“How about we just stop the Albanese government’s ruinous push to make us buy electric cars rather than petrol ones?
“Right now, we have just under 200,000 EVs on our roads. But worse, under the government’s plans to force us to buy more, we should have anything up to two million EVs by 2030.
“That’s going to take a hell of a lot of electricity that we don’t have.
“Isn’t that going to make blackouts even more likely?”

Vehicle to Grid has been an idea around for at least 10 years. Originally meant for voltage support in times of system contingency. This takes it to level of dumb…sorry
The Cobalt that is used in EV batteries has a 75 percent chance of being mined in the DR Congo. Of that, some of that might come from children working in artisanal mines for $2 USD a day.
Blast labor as they are a pack of idiots
Lies fed to conservative idiots
Biggest con job in history I'm amazed people fall for this garbage we are not going away from oil we can't electrifying every thing on solar and wind will be to expensive only the rich will only be able to afford it people need to wake up we are being railroaded into poverty the poor and the rich
Unlimited bullshit
Haha. What about charging these cars. That will cause the blackout.
dear sir the only way to save the planet, and reduce global heat is to stop global warfare and missiles and iver mining, deforestation , missisle, drones, bombs etc common sense also over corporate profit
Labour wanting you to visit a car dealership and spend thousands on an electric vehicle… insane.
The sad truth about all this is people still vote for ALP / Greens. They are moving towards a Socialist Communist state where the government controls EVERYTHING and EVERYONE !! Cashless society so the government will control your funds. Excessively high taxes, so no one can afford anything. No sustainable and reliable energy so no manufacturing industries will survive. No reliable vehicles so no one can afford to go anywhere in a Country, outside major cities, vehicles are essential.
Why do these renewable energy proponents persistently push their deluded fantasies on the public
Hahahaha are they going to pay these people for the power from their EVs hahahahaha
I will take one for the team and accept all the unwanted petrol as my civic duty.
Andrew bolt on has 2 much to say.
Petrol is bad because it pollutes the air haven't you heard that one…. But Evil Vehicles are not going to be mainstream for a long time to come. I won't be driving one.
I'll move closer to work, sell my and get a bike and ride to work.
Nuclear

❤won't that drain the power from the EV ,then the cars have to be charged hp again.😢
Smart meters is basically onky smart for the globalists
Don't you see the next argument? Solar battery charges kill the electricity grid indicator of badly affected businesses… St.Thomas
Albos battery has run out get rid of him do not let him recharge.
So laughable. If they want yo use their fire hazard to power their homes, go for it. Hope they have a fire escape plan and insurance in place

This was one of Bowen Aldo’s pipe dreams and AEMO told them it wouldn’t work
Can you imagine charging your ev overnight from solar stored from the day in batteries only to wake up in the morning, climb in to go to work and the govt stole your ev power
Heh heh what a scam
Ev are nothing but a scam, expensive to buy then straight to the tip after a few years no resale value in them and not worth replacing the batteries…they are going to be a disaster
Academia is a Moaist utopia and these academics need to be given jobs in the real world.
Insanity they cannot be serious

NUMBSCULL E.V. OWNERS MUSTNT CARE TO MUCH ABOUT THEIR FAMILIES
Hi Andrew. Remember that "D-head" 'Chief Scientist' that claimed Australia urgently needed desalination plants. The reason he claimed was because Australia's future rainfall would be so impacted by 'global warming' that rainfall would in future be so diminished, that this 'future rainfall' would be insufficient to create run-off to replenish water storage in dams. Sydney spent about billion dollars to build its desalination plant on the shores of Botany Bay. It's now basically in 'moth-balls' due to rainwater runoff being so plentiful that Sydney's Warragamba dam has overflowed fives times since this D-head Academic-Idiot (with an agenda of his own), the Chief Scientist no less, made his dire 'calculations'.
Does this idiot think we are as dumb as him.
I can’t go to work because it takes two hours to charge my car.
