This week I wrote about the "worst EV policy in the world," which seems to have breathed its last in #Australia.
"The High Court has struck down a Victoria law that imposed a road-user charge on EVs. The tax was A$2.6 cents to $2.8 cents per kilometer per year and intended to make up for the gas taxes not paid by EV drivers. Drivers were required to submit annual photos of their odometers to the tax authority.”
“Of the 3000 cars onboard, 25 are electric and one of those has apparently set light to the whole cargo”
BULLSHIT!
Nobody said so.
But “journalists” nowadays are full of shit and all reporting “currently there’s no proof that some electric car started the fire” (always with #electriccars) - what everyone reads as “yeah, sure the electric car was it!”
meanwhile electric cars are actually LESS likely to start a fire and still nobody in the know has actually claimed electric cars had ANYTHING to do with it.
There's 3000 cars on fire in the North Sea (lemmy.ml)
