Anyway Honda says EVs are not that much in demand -

Honda - started my automotive career there going on a decade ago as of next year.

If there is a company that went from strength to dead in the water its them, remember the cars they made through the 1980s/1990s and early 00s?

NSX
EP3 Civic and DC2/DC5 Integra Type R
S2000
Legend

Forefront of technology - innovations such as 'VTEC', engines like the B18C, K20/K24 and F20C

Then all of a sudden they dropped the performance stuff in an attempt to emulate Toyota and the white goods market and spent 20 years recycling the K20 and K24 engines in fridges on wheels that have no soul - like red heads

Even the white goods specialist themselves is making moves to clean up their image and bring some excitement back to entice younger buyers.

There's an opportunity to jump onboard if someone in Government shows initiative, but there's a shortage of initiative in Australian society let alone running the show in Federal Government.

Its easier to manipulate property prices to keep capital gains taxes and stamp duty rolling in and set up cameras fining drivers for using their phones then actually make things or export ideas through building sustainable business
