Australia is in fact primed to go all-in on all-electric. They have an hyperabundance of solar and wind (+land where it can be installed) and have the purchasing power to buy cheap panels and electric cars from China. Even the mining industry is going electric as it is plainly cheaper to operate mining trucks on solar PV. They couldn’t care less about that strait of hormuz disaster. Energy to cheap to meter at last!

Except agriculture and almost all logistics, rely heavily on imported liquid fuel.

And whilst EV's or Hybrds are about 50% of new vehicles, there are a lot of existing ICE domestic vehicles.

So, yeah, we actually care.
