True we need diesel and I do for my Ute. My EV is great and I don’t have to worry about petrol stations which is my point. While it sounds smug, it is really just a comment saying that the more EVs the less fossil fuel is needed. Greater national security and all that.
Comment on How do Australia's petrol prices compare globally?

Sure but you’re aware that the vast majority of the food you eat requires diesel to produce and to transport to you right?

It is smug. Everyone knows you don’t need fuel for your EV. Well done.

But reducing our dependence on fossil fuel imports is definitely in the national interest.

Having worked petrol retail through my late teens/early 20’s, I can assure you that people have no idea how much of our society depends on diesel.
Electricity, too: Ten days without power would be almost enough to send us to the Iron Age. It’s scary when you think about it, you could seriously cripple any modern nation by attacking just those two vectors of infrastructure and they’re both pretty soft targets in terms of the damage you could do.

Peterbuilt makes large and mid sized EV transport trucks, as has for years.

Sure but you’re aware no one actually drives those right?
