The Impact of Battery Electric Vehicles on Australian Vehicle Sales

Batteries run 5,800 terawatt hours of annual electricity at a 20% capacity factor. Even the federated chamber of automotive industries is now admitting that if people can find an EV that they can afford, they are going to buy it rather than a fossil fuel car. The big impact is really on some of the established Japanese car makers and particularly in some of the other big European ones who have been pretty slow to embrace EVs. They have planted big time on hybrids and now we are seeingEVs overtaking hybrids.
