No diesel? Oh well, I'll just have to settle for the SRT.....

The number without context is laughable yes, especially as we're now used to the Teslas of the world pushing hundreds of KMs.

But in practice, I'd be hesitant to be so dismissive - 40km would get a whole lot of people to and maybe even from work every day, to the local shops and back, to drop the kids off at school, etc.

As mentioned, only real way to go here in Australia is hydrogen fuel cell.

I see toyota and hyundai have formed a partnership re hydrogen fuel cell and toyota have just released a comercial hydrogen model.

Agreed however just to add I think hydrogen to e-fuel would be the most versatile way forward for Australia because it not only uses our current infrastructure (servo's) it can power every single currently existing petrol engine without having to built special hybrid or ev platforms to make use of it.

If the greens really were interested in positive out comes for the environment and economy this is the barrow they should be pushing instead of the stupidity driven idealism they're pedaling now.

Yep, your right.
Its like a small bunch of people get this idea that their way is the only way forward with emissions reduction and any other idea is not worth considering.
Usually find these people are what i call educated idiots.
All theory and no common sense.
Its plain that a country like Australia cannot function properly with EV cars.
As said, fine in a city - that is as long as there is a stable electricity supply.
God help society if the power grid becomes unstable.

The Solution to the 1973 oil crises with coverting your car to LPG.
The technology evolved over the decades and in 2015, the big breakthough came in the Generation 4 system.

Multi point liquid injection, improved power and economy substantially. Within 5% of petrol in a dual fuel car.

Only a handfull of vehicles were converted and then the Labor/Greens party killed off the rebates and added a LPG fuel excise.

This crushed the industry, just as it was ready to take off again.

Ironically, the Greens party eliminated the most green fuel we had at the time.

I have one of those Gen IV LPG cars and it runs perfectly after 270,000 kms and has a range of 1200km.
