I think a metric fucktonne.

This doesn’t surprise me at all, these types love to find any excuses to pander to the white supremacy segment, which unfortunately has been quite emboldened of late. It’s important to call this behaviour out when it occurs, and fortunately that has been happening.

- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 2 weeks ago:
I think the ratio on your comments Lemmy-wide speaks for itself. If it quacks etc etc. Maybe think about how you come across to people, and if you’ve been called a troll and blocked multiple times by people on a variety of communities, then perhaps some self reflection might be warranted.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 2 weeks ago:
From the article you linked:
“Factors contributing to used EV sales trends cited by the report authors included:
- The implementation of the FBT exemption in November 2022 that potentially prompted EV owners to acquire new vehicles, contributing to an increase in the availability of used EVs.
- Uncertainty surrounding battery health of used EVs deterring some potential buyers.
- Pricing of new EV models coming down, negatively impacting used EV prices.
The authors of the report did caution the EV pricing findings were volatile because of the small amount of vehicles involved.”
I would say the biggest issue is likely that new EVs are coming rapidly down in price, with longer range, so a second hand EV is comparatively not as good value currently. Many people are waiting for slightly bigger batteries or different types of ev, and I’ve seen at least half a dozen BYD Sharks on the road, one I talked to the guy had literally bought it yesterday, and many of them are getting tax benefits to buy new.
You are making out it’s all about battery concern where there’s much more going on.
So, you’re a moderator in a politics community, and you troll in various places on Lemmy, and like to threaten if you are challenged. Interesting.
Can’t help wondering if the other mods here might want to look into whether that’s a good thing… or not.

Given the EV market is barely a decade old, I think it’s a bit soon to make such ridiculous claims, that myself and others have given many, many sources of facts (not feelings, which is literally all you are providing).
It’s clear you are quite happy being influenced by scary propaganda c/o the oil industry - you’re still living in 2019 in Scummo’s “ruined weekend” land.
And having a peek at your other activity, I’d like to echo some others opinions - you really don’t belong here, maybe just leave, troll. You are tedious and just seem to want a fight with anyone who will take your bait. Boring.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 2 weeks ago:
Dude. I’ve provided the receipts with literally every post. You have provided nothing. Give it up already, you are ideologically hamstrung and unable to accept that you are wrong.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 2 weeks ago:
I think that’s already been proven, at least in the case of Teslas, that the batteries DO actually last that long on average?
Batteries that lose range but still functioning generally are being swapped out but then sold as house batteries, will incredibly useful and bigger than most house batteries. So they are not a total loss and largely still functioning. Newer battery systems allow swap out of individual cells.
If you look in the comments, someone swapped out the BMW to a cheap ICE car and the Tesla was still cheaper, lol.
I don’t know where you are but electricity prices here have been going down as we add more renewables to the grid. Most EV owners have solar, and mostly charge for less or free from home - I’m one of them.

Where is this guy egregiously wrong, in your opinion?
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 2 weeks ago:
You are lowballing the cost of replacing an engine significantly: it MIGHT be as low as $3000, it could be over $10,000. You also are completely ignoring the plethora of moving parts in an ICE vehicle that can fail. The drivetrain in an ICE vehicle contains 2,000+ moving parts typically, whereas the drivetrain in an EV contains around 20. This makes for a massive reduction in maintenance costs over the lifetime of the vehicle, which you also don’t take into consideration in total cost of ownership.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 3 weeks ago:
An incorrect assumption you have made is that batteries fail at a higher rate than major components on an ICE car. It’s a misunderstanding of the relative risk. Like how people hop in their car every day no worries but are afraid to fly.
Also is 100,000 miles or 160,000 km, not 100,000 km as the current warranty standard. And like any new technology, they really don’t know exactly how long they are going to last, so at this stage manufacturers are hedging their bets.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 3 weeks ago:
It was a facetious question. Clearly you wouldn’t with such misguided preconceptions.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 3 weeks ago:
I’m with Amber, and while I don’t have a battery yet, their VPP offering does appear different to most. I’d be wanting to check the conditions if this goes ahead as I would not want to sign up if I wasn’t allowed to control when power is sent to to the grid.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 3 weeks ago:
Correct, new EVs have even better batteries than first gen too. My first EV I replaced the battery, but not because they’re was anything wrong with it: that battery likely would have lasted at least twice as long, but an enterprising engineer created a battery upgrade that doubled the original range in the same footprint, and we can expect further improvements in batteries, so I expect to upgrade again in future, maybe 10-15 years, and double the range again.
Old EV batteries can be reused and make ideal off grid house batteries.

Have you actually bought a second hand EV?
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 4 weeks ago:
I have bought two secondhand electric cars and about to buy my third. Most people still don’t understand this isn’t quite as risky as it appears.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 4 weeks ago:
Haha just read the article, it’s great to see the approval but appalling we apparently have zero compatible cars. I have a JDM grey import with Chademo and that tech has been bidirectional for over a decade. So dumb.
- Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s taking longer for bidirectional to be legal in most parts of Australia, though that might be happening soon. V2G is going to be a game changer for reducing dependence on coal, can’t come soon enough!

- Comment on A lobby group representing Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Uber, and X has urged the US Government to take aim at Australian laws 4 weeks ago:
Let’s call them what they really are, the fucking tech Mafia.
I just wish the average fuckwit would wake up and get off Facebook. That’s the sticking point. Imagine the Australian govt banning Facebook: there would be protests massively bigger than over lockdowns. Because so few people could see the danger of a monopoly on how people communicate before people got addicted.
- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 2 months ago:
Best case scenario frankly is minority govt with greens holding balance of power. Much more chance of getting better legislation passed when greens have to be listened to.
