R11: Ban the import of non-complaint e-rideables!!!!1
R12: Create a vehicle category for non-compliant e-rideables?!
So we're not banning stuff then? Well, good!
Faster than 25, but slower than 45, its a basic moped.
50 km/h it's a moped. More - its a motorcycle.
We've been running Electrikhana in Perth since 2010. The demand for test drives has faded but interest in EVs has only grown. I hope to see you there!
It's poison. And anyone I work with who disagrees with me is demonstrably unaware of the scale of the unintended consequences (like rampant spreading of disinformation, and entire populations not believing anything (or caring) about it.
"It's a tool that needs to be used right" - so is morphine.
Just to be clear, @aevanational.bsky.social made a submission basically saying we don't have strong feelings either way.
It was always a regressive tax break. EVs can, and do stand up on their own without the need for giving high-salaried earners additional lurks.
So you'd think he's a fan of medium and high density housing oser to where people work. Yet, all we get is more freeway and more sprawl?
With Trump's assistance, Bibi wants to do to Iran what he did to Gaza.
I mean Sky news donβt even try to hide it, in fact they make an active declaration as to whose lives have value.
One time I dropped a kitchen kinfe, and as I jumped out of the way, kicked it with one foot, into my other foot, mid-air. Healed quickly fortunately.
And it can be downright dangerous work. You can just imagine the JSA needing an update with every client...
And a lot of demand, given the circumstances...
Bikes for transport huh? Intriguing!
The less we depend on the black stuff the better. Especially for transport, where we have electric options. One silver lining of the misery in the Persian Gulf is an acceleration towards EVs.
If only WV Australia brought the ID7 in...
If the charging infrastructure exists reliably every 100 km, you have a level of convenience and redundancy to make an EV work in the bush. I know of a couple of wheat farmers in Esperance who switched to an EV and would never go back.
Hybrids still burn petrol, and that's the stuff we need to quit.
Loved that livery!
All the more reason for a universal, mass Γ distance road user charge.
The world is already regretting the embrace of the SUV. Losing the station wagon is committing us to inefficient, overweight, functionally useless blobs for cars.
All in the last 15 years too.
Surely our hottest March day on record? The shed wasn't much fun today.
Proud to say I have never used any of them. But if you are, please, just frickin stop.
The blowback from this illegal, unjustified and unequivocally immoral killing spree will be huge, and make 9/11 look like a door-egging.
Next time you're out for a beer with old friends at a conference, play the "which men in our field would hang out with today's Epstein if they aren't already" game! Write down a name on a napkin, shuffle, flip, and see how many times that one egomaniacal clout-chasing bootlicker comes up
Sometime I wonder if he ensured the Voice failed... I mean, everything since then is just reinforcing that idea.
They sure aren't growing, that's true.
She's too good for this party :(
We have March flies in southwest WA which are smart enough to know when both hands are full or busy. They go in for blood the moment you pick up your sandwich in your right hand, drink in the left hand.
Australia's first contiguous electric vehicle fast charger network was conceived and planned by an unemployed plant scientist in 2014. Australia's fastest electric superbike was designed and built by the same unemployed plant scientist around about the same time. It me.
