Investment in Australian-made electric cars could help restart automotive industry, expert says

Australia’s collapsed car manufacturing industry could be revived if we began building electric cars on home soil, an industry expert says.
Could a national network of electric car charging stations push down EV prices?
The declaration has sparked hope for thousands of former automobile workers left unemployed after Australia’s car manufacturing industry came to a screeching halt in 2017.

Electric Vehicle Council CEO Behyad Jafari said the biggest roadblock to kick-starting the industry again is our government’s slow uptake of investing in electric cars.

“The most difficult thing hasn’t been about realising the opportunities, but getting the government to come to the table,” Mr Jafari told The New Daily.

“In every other country, the governments are throwing themselves into this sector saying there are jobs.”
