With the take-up of electric vehicles across Australia commercial market considered "pretty modest" so far, those supporting an EV garbage truck trial in Shepparton believe its important to start chipping away towards a transition.
@Aussiemandeus@Baku as a country that struggled to recycle glass how are we going to recycle batteries that are infinitely more toxic.
There is this push for all Aussie car owners to have electric, but we have no commitments to improve electrical infrastructure, why is it the individuals responsibility to make changes, where is the push for better public transport.
We model our society and cities after the US, with sprawling suburbs and car centric neighbourhoods, why not make it easier to choose a bus over car a train over gridlock traffic. Focus on a better society, better urban planning and people will make better choices around cars.
May as well go to nuclear and deal with that waste. Save the steps and in 50 years we will find. A solution for it
Too slow to build, too expensive, and too mired in politics and legal issues. So the only result will be that coal and gas stick around for even longer. Which is precisely why conservative parties are pushing nuclear.

That’s what I mean about kicking the can down the road.
We’re jumping to electric vehicles so fast with very few logistical solutions.

To slow to hard was the issue 20 years ago.
The tree planted 20 years ago is better than the tree planted today but in 20 years time today’s tree is there
The previous LNP government could not build car parks.
There is zero chance there will be nuclear power plants in Australia in the next 20 years.
LFP batteries are taking over from the older NMC chemistry, and LFP doesn’t have those expensive toxic materials in them.
