Nationals MP Keith Pitt says Chris Bowen’s EV plans for Australia are “not reality”.

Mr Pitt told Sky News Australia that there are reports of EVs being “valueless” when going to trade them in.

“Because dealers would likely have to change out the entire battery system.

“Because they don’t know what’s happened to it over its operational life.

“Even AEMO says that Labor’s plan will require an increase of some 60 per cent for peak demand.”
