Brisbane Airport cancels plans for billion-dollar auto mall and motor circuit

Reply in thread

Agreed, especially since a stock EV is already fairly fast. Most manufacturers are releasing performance variants as well with extra grunt and better handling. Also the EV manufacturers are more aligned to automall / online selling (Tesla,polestar,Hyundai), missed opportunity there for them. With the fed gov removal of FBT on sub 90k EV's fleet / novated lease companies are also prime for an automall.

Solar Sharer: Bowen wants retailers to offer free electricity for three hours in middle of every day

Same here, charge all the batteries all the time on OVO free plan, very good in winter I'd be curious to see if they have done their homework. A small percentage sponging is no worries but if we all sponge there might not be as much excess anymore... which is fine. Also the tailers are just gonna bump their plans, in someway, ie last time AusGrid dropped their shoulders and increased their *peaks

Yeah for sure, especially if the chain of measures is not clean. IE with my smart meter they know my export and pay me 2c, that then goes into the neighbours house who are on a dumb meter and they get charged 39c. I think things like that might be dark spots in the data the govt might be working off, but the retailers will know exactly how much "dark energy" (satire) there is in their purse.

Got a perfect round , much thanks to the refs on that last game :-) Time to start checking the run home for em all now, nothing but injuries or suspensions should get in the way now. I think we've had all the coach sackings for the year surely.
