Yeah, the home and workplace charging has basically won the day for anyone that doesn't spend most of their life driving.
Slightly sidetracking, I suspect nuclear power is also being pushed by the fossil fuel club as well, after 40 years of going "But Chernobyl!" Simply because it keeps people on gas and coal for about 20-30 years while it all gets built, is enormously expensive, and probably wouldn't be enough to meet demand anyway. And they can also veto any large green projects with "But the nuclear is on the way!"
Yeah, that's definitely been the strategy of the liberals/nationals in Australia. In a country that historically has never had nuclear, has a bunch of state and federal bans against nuclear and no infrastructure at all to deal with nuclear waste or fuel, they want to build a bunch of nuclear plants instead of continuing to build more renewables. And they're pushing hydrogen as well.
It's actually disgusting that an industry that knows it has no long term future decided that they should just delay the inevitable for just a few more years/decades at the cost of our only planet. I just can't fathom being this fucked in the head to make that calculation.
