Electric vehicles and cheese are among the items that will become cheaper for Australians as a result of a historic agreement signed with the European Union after close to a decade of negotiations.

am also in a tiny Tassie town in the NE with an EV, there is a Tesla Y up the round, an old Nissan Leaf, our BYD and that's it. Also cycle on our ebikes when we can. I'm retired, my gf works 3 days a week part time uses the ev for that, Coles delivers and we can collect from the back of the truck

Fucking totally blows my mind the locals drive everywhere like 30mins into the nearby big town to buy 2l of milk... , 1/2 of them have solar panels but none an ecar.
