This is because her whole aspirational world view is beneficiary state dependence.
Meanwhile, farmers, tradies, builders, repairmen and so on are trying, despite the government's hatred of business and vehicles, to keep their businesses profitable.
As to any private citizen who wants to tow a boat, caravan or trailer. Or to transport mountain bikes - you can all get fucked as far as Labour and the Greens are concerned.
At this point in time EV's are more of a curse than a benefit. The carbon footprint created by their construction should be enough to give the left heart palpitations (if they have hearts) and because we haven't been investing enough in geothermal power
plants we'll probably have power cuts in the mornings like we came close to at least twice last winter! We're going to need ice's for at least a decade while they work on improving wind power construction and recyclability of solar panels and wind
turbine blades. Problems that imbeciles like Sepuloni and her fellow ferals in this government!
