Australia plans to ban combustion engine cars

Australia's top scientists are urging the government to ban combustion engine vehicles within years, advocating for an all-electric future. The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) released a report recommending drastic cuts to diesel use, particularly in high-emission industries, and suggests financial incentives to accelerate EV adoption. This push comes as EV infrastructure rollout is seen as disappointing, with experts highlighting the need for widespread charging stations to overcome range anxiety and encourage public confidence in electric vehicles.
