Sky News host Rowan Dean has slammed Labor’s push for electric vehicles.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, alongside Team Global Expressed, announced a third of their truck fleet will be electric vehicles.
“Not a great day in my opinion, for people who want their parcels delivered, not in clown cars, but with the efficiency and reliability traditionally provided by the good old fashioned petrol engine,” Mr Dean said.
The Sky News host said some of the electric trucks only go about “100k before needing to be recharged for about 90 minutes”.
“Even less if it’s a hot or cold day and the heating or the air conditioning is on,” he said.
“We the taxpayers have certainly assisted your performance by giving … over $20 million of taxpayers to assist the purchase of these clown cars.”

Yet the WORLD sees how useless, and dangerous, this farce is…..
Who plugs Albo in at night?……
Something is fishy here. Why this particular company to give taxpayers money to. Is it because Christine Holgate had a run in with Scott Morrison when he was PM?
If these are the standards of reporting at Sky no wonder nobody is tuning in – talk about projecting via a news story. Seriously guys are you pandering to an audience with an IQ of 80 and below?
Electric cars are stupid.
You have to collect dozens of the most corrosive, volatile materials known to man.
You then have to use a convoluted supply chain and get along with nations that everyone hates to make that work
Of course the EV trucks will work. Private companies will uptake them as long as there is a 50% taxpayer subsidy and profit and efficiency is not an issue due to ongoing subsidies. They will drop them just as quickly when the money tree wilts and they have to assume full costs for maintenance, energy and road user charges and insurance.
As a technical person with many decades experience I only have to listen too Bowen for 10 f-ing seconds to tell that he is a clueless moron who knows NOTHING.
Defamatory BS from a Murdoch🤡
There's only one🤡 fool, that's you.
Grow Up.
These two spitting spastics are killing this country.
This Canberra clown show is wasting taxpayers money! People should be outraged! 😡
We don't need nuclear. We got COAL!
We need more young intelligent people like Will Shackle
Most EVs get about 350-500km range. Delivery trucks in the urban area don't need that much range because they're only delivering in the Sydney Metro area. And those 1,000 fires were caused by e-bikes and e-scoooters not EVs, so not sure why you're showing a picture of vehicles on fire.
So while the left is misquoting Trump when he was talking about an economic bloodbath, SNA is using the same tactics on EVs – misleading and shifting context.
You're as bad as each other.
The problem is so many Aussies think this government is doing a great job.
Those people don't watch SKY NEWS, which exposes all the bullshit and says it how it is.
Idiots
Love it…ALBOZO & BO BO BOWEN
🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
These electric trucks will require between 15 to 20 megawatts of electricity to charge them, even if the use 3 phase 415 VAC. Where does that amount of electricity come from? Insane and sick politicians.
Its all good. You can call a guy who will drive his diesel truck out to you and turn on his diesel generator and charge your car. $50 per hr plus travel.
These people are so out of touch it's scary
Net Zero is an impossible pipe dream
Maybe we need to replace the people who work at the CSIRO with people who are positive thinkers instead of government fanboys
Christine actually did a good Thing Defending Lone Post Offices being Bullied by Governments. I saw Mr Banks versus the POffice. She Stood up and Changed things For them for the Better. I was surprised. All the Negative press was just BS and Nasty.
Very good Owen. Also the EV market Aroung the World is Starting to Collapse. China have Cheap DANGEROUS BYD EVs and others they want to Dump on our markets. It will be a Disaster. Alot MORE EV Fires. BAD ACCIDENTS With Heavy Front End Collisions. Its a Disaster waiting to Happen.
Seen a video of brand new EV semi trucks sitting in a parking lot awaiting to be sold it was last summer and the heat 105° F and one burst into flames across and a few down the line another did the samething. At the end six truck burnt up.good thing it wasn't in a truck stop at night with sleeping drivers and 300 gallon fuel tanks on both sides of the convenstional semi's.
Japan’s Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant Unit 6 took only 39 months for completion.
