EVs Reduce petroleum imports

The issue

See also Australian fuel policy and subsidies

I don't no if those that drive ICE cars realize, that that most of the fuel they purchase is imported (91% https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/australia-91-reliant-on-foreign-oil-research-report/) and is Australia's largest import, but all the electricity that EV drivers use is made right here in Australia.

Buy Australian as its cheaper

Solution

“High petrol prices are already hurting Australians. The only long-term solution is getting off oil. This involves increasing fuel efficiency and transitioning to electric vehicle.”

Richie Merzian, Climate & Energy Director at The Australia Institute.
