Electric vehicles and cheese are among the items that will become cheaper for Australians as a result of a historic agreement signed with the European Union after close to a decade of negotiations.
Cheaper EVs, easier job access: What's in the EU-Australia free trade deal for you?

Has Delta Goodrem been over there finalising this along with her Eurovistion duties?

A few of the bogans I work with (I’m in a small spot in Tasmania) have asked me if I’m feeling pleased with myself for buying an EV
The local petrol stations have been emptied by people panic-buying
I have thoroughly enjoyed saying “yes, yes I am”

Aussie solar over foreign oil!

Yes! Even beyond the environmental angle, energy independence is so important.

I have solar at home, with Australian made panels and stuff
They were more expensive, but I wanted to support local industry and have a warranty worth something

am also in a tiny Tassie town in the NE with an EV, there is a Tesla Y up the round, an old Nissan Leaf, our BYD and that’s it. Also cycle on our ebikes when we can. I’m retired, my gf works 3 days a week part time uses the ev for that, Coles delivers and we can collect from the back of the truck
Fucking totally blows my mind the locals drive everywhere like 30mins into the nearby big town to buy 2l of milk… , 1/2 of them have solar panels but none an ecar.

I’ve been wondering whether I’ll be EV road tripping to Queensland in a month or so instead of flying, because I’ll at least be able to drive it even if it takes days. Who knows what the supply of jet fuel or diesel will be like.
