Australia finally has an electric vehicle strategy. How does it stack up?

<https://theconversation.com/australia-finally-has-an-electric-vehicle-strategy-how-does-it-stack-up-203897>

"Australia’s first National Electric Vehicle Strategy, released today, details
the government’s long-awaited plans to accelerate the adoption of these
vehicles.

Consultations on the strategy began last September. The climate change and
energy minister, Chris Bowen, then promised the strategy would make Australia a
globally competitive market for electric vehicles. Households and businesses
would have access to the best modern transport technology at affordable prices.

But does the strategy live up to these expectations? Is it ambitious enough to
meet our emission-reduction targets and international commitments? And how far
does it go to align Australia with world-best practice for the transition to
electric vehicles?

In short, the strategy represents a step in the right direction but falls short
of introducing meaningful new measures to speed up this transition, at a time
when urgent interventions are needed."
