Unable to sell several hundred thousand electric vehicles American carmaker giants GM and Ford have abandoned EV manufacturing and reverted to internal combustion engines.

Climate change Minister Chris Bowen completely removed from reality as consumers turn away from useless electric cars

Meanwhile the Malthusians of the Australian Labor Party have ordered the country’s best selling utilities, Toyota, Ford, Nissan and Isuzu be removed from the market by 2028 for being unable to comply with unnecessary and idiotic stringent engine emission levels.

In order to meet the 1992 United Nations Agenda 30 treaty and the 2016 Paris Climate Agreement signed by the ALP’s covert operative and former Liberal PM Malcolm Turnbull, the intellectual pygmy Chris Bowen has killed the massive grey nomad adventure industry for retirees who will not have a vehicle suitable for towing their caravans.

Climate Change Minister Bowen has just buried agriculture too, which is entirely dependent on diesel-powered four-wheel drive Landcruisers and Nissans.

The great Australian tradition of caravanning, whether taking in the Great Australian Bight along the Nullarbor Plain or the arduous trek to Cape York Peninsula, will be all but impossible using the current crop of electric vehicles, industry experts warn.

“Until we have an EV able to tow comfortably for 500 to 600 kilometres without the battery dying, it isn’t the time to be taxing people who are buying utes or SUVs for towing or long-distance travel,” said Paul Maric, founder of CarExpert.com.au.

“The electric vehicles they want everyone to drive aren’t capable of towing and long-distance travel people are doing in diesels. And as a result you’re seeing responses like … people thinking they’re having their weekends and holidays taken away from them.”

The Caravan Industry Association of Australia (CIAA), which represents around 1800 caravan parks and close to 900 manufacturers, has warned both the tourism and trade sides of the industry face significant risks under the government’s proposed new fuel efficiency standards slated to take effect next year.

While welcoming the push to reduce emissions, the climate change believer CIAA has called for the new regulations to be “technology agnostic” rather than trying to artificially drive EV take-up.

“We know the transition to electrification holds a lot of opportunity but also a lot of challenges, particularly for rural and regional areas,” said Luke Chippindale, general manager for government relations and corporate communications at the CIAA.

“When I look at the emission standards, there’s a three-times multiplier there to encourage electric vehicles [compared with] 1.5 for biofuels, which means the market isn’t incentivised to bring on other technologies despite the fact they would like to.”

While standard battery EVs may be the “answer for urban areas”, other technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, biofuels and synthetics may be more suitable for rural areas, according to Mr Chippindale.

“How we make that transition away from internal combustion engines is firmly positioned on electrification … but how we get there needs to be left open to the market as opposed to picking EVs,” he said.

Iconic Toyota Landcruisers will be a relic of the past in 2028

There are around 850,000 registered caravans on the road in Australia, according to CIAA, of which 795,000 are towed.

Mr Chippindale said while “we’re fortunate campervans and motorhomes are exempt” from the proposed emissions standards as they are classed as heavy vehicles, that left the vast majority of towed product facing uncertainty.

“Our biggest concern with the emissions standards is they recognise the constraints, that is supply chain and infrastructure [such as charging stations], but there are no discounting factors and no reconciling those two very dramatic issues,” he said.

“I don’t know if [the government] is ignoring our concerns, it’s probably more not being able to answer them. Because the technology was selected, it’s more or less caught the market off-guard, the market is trying to play catch-up.”

Mr Chippindale noted that in the US, which typically mirrors Australian consumer behaviour, EV sales had plateaued and started to decline slightly amid “unknowns about battery life, refurbishment, the environmental impact on battery upkeep and maintenance”.

Exploding batteries causing fires also is a common occurrence.

Matthew Lynn, financial columnist with the UK’s Telegraph, went so far as to declare this month that “the West’s humiliating electric car climbdown has begun” and that “ambitious plans for an electrification-led industrial revolution are in full-scale retreat”.

“Rewind only a couple of years, and almost every president or prime minister was making electric vehicles the cornerstone of an industrial strategy,” Lynn wrote.

“In reality, amid an onslaught of Chinese competition, and falling sales, the West’s electric vehicle dream is quickly unravelling — and we need to relearn all the lessons in why grand, state-led industrial strategies never work.”
