A real estate sales droid rocking up to a construction site in a 2024 Mercedes E350 EQ Hybrid is one thing. Certainly is hard for the average sparkie, plumber, or chippie to put ladders, lengths of conduit, and timber on the roof of a Merc E350.
Forcing tradies into, say, an Isuzu N Series, just makes the problem worse when it comes to matters like pedestrian impact protection, etc.
Like all left wing newspapers, The Guardian is good at spending other people's money. I wonder what their views will be of the 2025 BYD Shark? 4wd, body on frame, 5.5 m long, weighing 2665 kg, 320 kW of power (all of that energy must come from somewhere) ... But its a hybrid. Does that mean all of the Australia Institute's arguments are a mute point?
