Replacing 1 million petrol vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs) is projected to cut Australia's reliance on imported fuel by 1 billion litres per year.
This transition not only mitigates exposure to fluctuations in global oil prices but also shifts energy consumption towards electricity, which is primarily generated domestically.
The implications of this shift are substantial for Australia's energy infrastructure, suggesting a need for enhanced capacity in electricity generation and distribution to accommodate increased EV adoption.
