A ban of new petrol and diesel vehicles will lead to Government control · The Slippery Slope

  Hi, I'm Jay Fallon and you're listening to the slippery slope.
• 0:09
  So yesterday, the ACT government the Australian Capital
• 0:14
  territory, government announced, they would become the first
• 0:18
  Australian jurisdiction to name the date for the end of sales of
• 0:23
  new fossil fuel burning cars. So from the ABC News, this
• 0:28
  headline came out saying, concerns electric vehicle.
• 0:31
  Still won't be affordable for many by 2035, when act been
• 0:37
  sales of new pet, Cool cars. So the Australian Automotive
• 0:42
  dealer Association, the a Ada has expressed concern over the
• 0:47
  ACT government's announcement, that it will ban the sale of new
• 0:51
  petrol cars from 2035 saying it is locking canberrans into a
• 0:56
  commitment at a time where we really don't know what the
• 1:00
  future holds. So this ban is set to begin in
• 1:04
  2035. Meaning car dealers will be
• 1:07
  unable to sell any new cars Is that contain an internal
• 1:11
  combustion engine from then the Australian Capital territory
• 1:15
  government signaled. Its intention to ban the sale of
• 1:19
  new petrol cars last year when it's signed up to the CEO.
• 1:23
  P26 the cop 26, declaration to accelerate the transition to
• 1:28
  100% zero-emission Vehicles. The South Australian government
• 1:34
  has also previously indicated. It is aiming for all of us, new
• 1:38
  passenger, vehicles, Miles to be electric by 2035.
• 1:43
  So, under the ACT is plan, while the sale of new petrol cars
• 1:47
  would be banned the sale of second-hand petrol cars or
• 1:50
  driving, a fossil fuel powered car on a CT roads would remain
• 1:55
  legal. The ACT is commitment.
• 1:57
  Also does not currently include heavy Vehicles, such as shipping
• 2:02
  trucks, being focused on personal transport Vehicles such
• 2:07
  as motorbike motorcycles. Passenger cars and light trucks.
• 2:11
  But some of the legislative mechanics of the ban are
• 2:14
  currently unclear including whether fossil fuel cars being
• 2:19
  brought outside of the ACT will be able to be registered to an
• 2:23
  act and dress after the ban takes effect.
• 2:28
  So the ACT emissions reduction Minister, Shane ratan.
• 2:32
  Barry has said announcing the ban now encouraged because
• 2:36
  government ministers they like to encourage Don't want to force
• 2:40
  you, then just want to encourage, just want to make
• 2:42
  things extremely difficult, and this will encourage you.
• 2:46
  So this will encourage preparedness for the change and
• 2:49
  the smooth transition to a future where electric vehicles
• 2:52
  were the standard. This 2035 goal is about being
• 2:56
  really clear that from the date. We don't intend for any new
• 3:01
  petrol vehicles to come onto the market.
• 3:03
  He said, we're about setting an early message.
• 3:06
  Now being clear about where things Things are going and
• 3:10
  giving people time to organize the transition.
• 3:14
  So the exact legal mechanism is yet to be determined.
• 3:17
  We'll need to work closely with the federal government and with
• 3:20
  other states and territories. But our view is that by 2035,
• 3:25
  you should not be able to put a new petrol vehicle on the road.
• 3:31
  The CEO of the Australian Automotive dealer Association
• 3:34
  that James fortman has said he was concerned the cost of It
• 3:39
  should be Eagles would not lower enough before the introduction
• 3:43
  of the vein in 2035. So, listen, last year, I did an
• 3:48
  episode of the slippery, slope talking about the rules, the
• 3:51
  regulations that were going to be coming in, and they in now, I
• 3:55
  believe in the United Kingdom. So, the proposal for the UK was
• 4:00
  that as of May 30 2022, new home, and workplace charges
• 4:04
  being installed must be smart charges connected to the Net and
• 4:09
  able to employ presets limiting, their ability to function from 8
• 4:15
  a.m. to 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. however, users of home
• 4:21
  charges, will be able to override the presets.
• 4:24
  Should they need to? Although it's not clear how
• 4:27
  often they will be able to do that.
• 4:29
  Because remember, the government wants to encourage you, okay?
• 4:32
  Encourage you on how much electricity you you can use.
• 4:36
  They will also encourage you on how far you can Drive away from
• 4:40
  your home and where you can drive and when you can drive, so
• 4:43
  they will limit your usage. So, in addition to the nine
• 4:47
  hours a day of downtime authorities, will be able to
• 4:49
  impose a randomized delay of 30 minutes on individual charges in
• 4:55
  certain areas to prevent grid spikes at other times.
• 5:01
  So, according to the United Kingdom, Government website,
• 5:05
  gov.uk the regulations state that charge, It's sold for the
• 5:11
  intended private charging of vehicles must meet certain
• 5:15
  device level requirements, which include smart functionality,
• 5:20
  including the ability to send and receive information the
• 5:25
  ability to respond to signals to increase the rate or time at
• 5:30
  which electricity flows through the chargepoint, demand-side
• 5:34
  response services and a user interface electricity Supply.
• 5:39
  A interoperability allowing the charge point to retain smart
• 5:44
  functionality. Even if the owner switches
• 5:47
  electricity supplier, continue charging.
• 5:51
  Even if the charge Point ceases to be connected to a
• 5:54
  communication Network safety Provisions, preventing the user
• 6:00
  carrying out an operation, which could risk the health or safety
• 6:03
  of a person. A measuring system to measure or
• 6:08
  calculate the electricity imported or exported.
• 6:12
  And the time the charging last with little, with visibility to
• 6:17
  the owner of this information. So charge points must also
• 6:21
  incorporate preset, off-peak, default, charging hours and
• 6:26
  allow the owner to accept remove or change these upon first use,
• 6:32
  and subsequently allow for a My eyes delay function, I believe
• 6:39
  electric vehicles are a fantastic Innovation, and if you
• 6:44
  want one, you should be able to go and get one.
• 6:46
  However, the issues I believe we're going to run into, if
• 6:51
  everyone can remember here in Australia was only a couple of
• 6:53
  weeks ago. We were having electricity
• 6:56
  shortages. We've got this insatiable hunger
• 7:01
  to push towards renewable energies, and yet renewable.
• 7:05
  Energy cannot keep up with demand and yet at the same time,
• 7:10
  we are pushing for more demand of electricity, Banning petrol
• 7:14
  cars. Banning internal combustion
• 7:16
  engines, is just the first step. The Next Step from the
• 7:20
  Australian government will be along the lines of what's
• 7:23
  happened in the UK. They'll be wanting to pass
• 7:25
  legislation where they can restrict, when you can charge
• 7:29
  your vehicle, they will want to have control, because as we've
• 7:34
  seen just recently Our power grids cannot keep up with the
• 7:38
  demand of electricity. That is needed that the
• 7:42
  Australian public want that the Australian public need.
• 7:46
  We keep pushing towards renewable energy and yet
• 7:49
  renewable energy, cannot keep up with the demand.
• 7:53
  We keep forcing these closures of coal-fired power stations.
• 7:57
  At the moment, we still need coal to produce electricity.
• 8:01
  This demand for climate change laws is going to bring about
• 8:04
  changes. To our legislation that the
• 8:07
  Australian public is not going to like, and it is going to
• 8:10
  bring about changes that will give the government more control
• 8:14
  and greater over reach into every individuals everyday life.
• 8:20
  Personally, don't think this is a good way to go.
• 8:23
  This push this desire to go towards renewable.
• 8:28
  Energy at all costs and placing a ban on combustion engines and
• 8:34
  forcing the sale. And forcing people, the general
• 8:38
  public to buy electric vehicles, will eventually just lead to
• 8:42
  more government control and government overreach into
• 8:46
  everyday citizens lives. That's my opinion.
• 8:51
  Thank you for listening to the slippery slope.
