You mean I can’t take the engine out of my land cruiser and put it into a commodore ?
Bummer.

The average motorist does about 40km a day in Oz, ev have plenty of range for most, esp when after 8-10 years they will still retain 70% SOC.
No shortage of ev that have clocked up 300/400 and 500kms+ and are still rolling along fine.

You make it sound like ice vehicles are produced with no emissions from manufacture, zero pollution and running costs and last forever without breaking down and don’t ever run out of dinosaur juice, perpetual motion !

There’s still plenty of improvements to be made to batteries.

No you have made a false inference.

I can purchase parts and even whole engines from 3rd party suppliers that are price and performance competitive, it's not a captive or closed marketplace.

Yes, the bulk of that average is made up within 35kms of a CBD, as accurate as it is it is also very deceptive.

Of course when an 8 year old ICE runs low on fuel you can fill it up and get full range for my longer than average trip, the EV owner can recharge that 8 year old battery stack as much as they like but they'll never get the same range as a new one! ;D

No that's another false assertion, you expose your own desperation.

ICE vehicles like the EVs or other alternatives that will replace them, are not carbon neutral by any measure. All technologies have inherent advantages and weaknesses, wherever the carbon debt occurs, either in use or in manufacture, it's still a carbon debt.
