@Globob the Australian grid is increasing renewable energy based with solar, wind, batteries and hydro. So if there is a shortfall today then it will disappear in the near future. The other thing is that electric vehicles are still a lot less carbon intensive than ICE vehicles even when charging off a fossil fuel based grid.

@Lats You are correct about the carbon intensity of EVs. The shortfall in the graph is a result of seasonal variations. Those are massive and unbridgeable except with gas backup.
