Experts propose replacing 1 million petrol cars with electric vehicles in Australia to significantly reduce foreign fuel dependency by over 1 billion litres annually.
According to experts, Australia could diminish its dependency on imported fuel by more than 1 billion litres each year if it transitions 1 million petrol-fueled vehicles to electric alternatives. This shift not only addresses environmental concerns but also enhances the nation's long-term energy security. Hussein Dia, a transport technology professor at Swinburne University, emphasizes that electric vehicles are integral in advancing Australia’s energy autonomy and achieving net zero emissions.
