There needs to be some kind of giant shift in the thinking of how to implement these vehicle mandates for the future.
That is, demanding no combustion engines is great, but only works if there is a viable alternative. Currently there isn't one.
I have a ranger as a provided work car.
I am expected to be driving around most of the day. It would be rare, but it's possible to hit say 600km in a day. Even if I don't hit those numbers, I'm carrying a fair load around on what I do drive, which will shorten that distance anyway. Now I am expected to charge that for 10-12 hours of a night and be able to do it all again the next day?
What if I have to take the kids to swimming or footy? I can't get my full charge in because of time? Do I require an additional car for private purposes (I mean, I have my wifes car, but if I was single?)
