This is a very good price, usually it around 100k, EV infrastructure is very cheap, it's a fraction against cost of a petrol station or even H2, which costs 3 million per charging point.
Australia does not make anything here to do with EVs/Charging , Solar Panels. There are some very sneeky companies that try to elude that they do, but they simply buy all the bits from China and Assemble them here.
Again a great example of wasting tax payers money. I cant believe the senator thinks this was a good idea. Stop wasting our money. The people who buy EV's can pay for this cost, not the taxpayers.
@@brycehamilton4903 so how many taxpayer funded petrol stations are there? ICE car owners do pay not the taxpayer. It is part of the price we pay when we fill up. I am surprised this is not obvious.
@@brycehamilton4903 Establishing a petrol station is a speculative investment by an entrepreneur. The same should apply to EV chargers. What government in Australian history has put in petrol bowsers at taxpayer expense at parliament house? That would be none, wouldn't it?

Don't be so disingenuous towards rissoles. Given that I saw more intelligent single celled organisms under the microscope as a kid compared to our politicians, I am sure the typical rissole is a veritable genius by comparison.
I hope when they use them they pay for the use. Just like regular folks do. Saying that EV's are a waste of time its all a con. IMO. And the woman in blue next to him decided it was more important to play with her phone than listen.
Tritium is one of the leaders in ev charges manufacturing was in Brisbane, but in saying that when those chargers break down who is going to service them as items made in china have a very bad back up and parts supply. They will become out of service and without a Australia based and manufactured item will be rendered useless therefore needing replacement and the old ones sent to the tip.
The chargers were installed for the COMM cars not the general public, as they claimed to justify the cost. Australian EV suppliers for chargers are going broke.
I hope they have significantly upgraded their fire fighting equipment in the car parks (especially the sprinkler systems) where these EVs are and the chargers, as if one EV bursts into flames, well it could burnt down Parliament House or do significant damage. You have been warned.
As EV fire probability is about 50 times lower than ICE cars your assumption is very unlikely, maybe watch less conservative crap EV hater nonsense channels as they keep spreading their lies everywhere, that have nothing todo with reality ? Hybrids are prone to fire, they burn even more often than ICE cars, and most "EV fires" are (besides 99% fakenews) in reality Hybrid fires, pure EV fires are extremely rare.
@@vernonwhite4660 not yet. I service hirise apartments in Sydney and many of them, most of newbuilt, have chargers in basements. Uffffff, we all waiting for good fire to change it. So fire in parliament would be double win.
I thought Labour was for Australian workers and Jobs, seems they left that behind decades ago, they seem to want to see china do well instead, Krudd even learnt Mandarin or Cantonese to be a better friend to China. They should dump the $2.5 million and use it as a tax loss and get one of the three Aussie Manufacturers to build, supply and install the Chargers, even if the Aussie made ones cost more, the money stays in Australia 100%, where as with the Chinese units, $2.5 million went to China and not one cent left in Australia and I bet they didn't get charged Tax. I don't think the Libs are any better for caring about Australian made or manufactured either as they did a lot of things that required over seas crap. Even furniture for their Offices came from Europe, aren't our Aussie Cabinet Makers or Chippies good enough, the Pollies need some fancy wanker desk they can wank on about how much it cost and where it came from. I think it's time to give another party a go as they can't do any worse than Labour and with how badly the Scomo Government did, I think a Kindergarten class could do as good.
This. Our pollies are unable to do basic math. For every dollar spent here at least 20c comes back in the form of taxes so immediately it is win for the economy. On top of that the extra spending from those cashed up aussies keep retailers in business employing more aussies. and so on down the line.
If the money stays in China, why not just print fresh money and buy everything we like from China? China ends-up with a pile of money. Australia gets a pile of useful goods. It sounds too good to be true.
Firstly, as I remember Senator, there is a free trade agreement in place between Australia and China. If you wanted Australian made, I guess you could try to source Tritium chargers for Parliament!
We taxpayers just love funding chargers and EVs for you politicians. While you are at it, I think we should pay for every one of your family members to have their very own EV and personal charger as well. That will also help power the grid when it falls apart after Labor get re-elected in late 2024. If you politicians need more money for anything at all, don't hesitate to ask we taxpayers. We are so used to paying taxes and most of it being wasted by you guys, we'd feel out if sorts if you actually started spending our money wisely (and we'd dearly miss the ABC too).
I guess it is about fast chargers? So then this would be a very good price, 58 chargers for 2,5 Million ist pretty cheap.... good job, we need more of this! EVs are the future, most people start to realize this by now.
@@thomasarmstrong3804 Consider that you do not need peak load on each charger, so if you have let's say 10 chargers rated at 300kW, in reality you do not need 3MW grid connection as EVs in average charge much slower, so in reality you would be perfectly fine with a 1 to 1,5MW connection. Many fast charging stations have batteries that are loaded by a slower connection, but are able to deliver full power in peak times, which is as usual only during certain times of the day. As renewable energy is usually abundant during noon this batteries provide another relief to the grid and prevent coal from being burnt during the night.
@@australiainfelix7307 MGuy is a joke, you can't be serious? You have obviously not the slightest clue what you are talking about. MGuy is the typical channel that spews his anti EV crap out of lack of understanding, mixed with stoneage ideology. Meanwhile EV adoption worldwide sharp on the rise, and in 10 years no car company will bring a new ICE car to the market, and nobody would buy it.

2.5 million for 58? really? 43k a pop? good lord.

@@chriswilliams8607 I install them for a living. If I charged 43k each one I would be able to retire in a year.
@@chriswilliams8607What data did you use to arrive at that conclusion?
Dont worry its just your taxpayer money.
They need to fund the ccp
We pay to charge their cars too????
Of course we do.
and so what's actually wrong with Aussie built chargers?
surely we can build a charger here in Australia right?

By that logic, ICE car users should be paying for the petrol stations, not the companies that own them..

Was there a Hazard Analysis undertaken first? While the risk is low the hazards are catastrophic. EV charging is an outdoor activity.

Like the rest of the country
58 chargers installed, total. 10 for the public with the other 48 being for pollies.
Is the lady in blue being paid (bloody handsomely) for texting? I want her job... I have no political skills ....but I'll put them on notice. 😅

"and the approved budget was 2.5 million"
That is not the actual cost.
I bet the final cost for 58 chargers, installed. will be far greater.

This CBC why have they not told Canada’s citizens , ,
Could earn their Bonuses?
Politicians always ask someone else to sort something because they have no idea how to sort anything
What 'charger'/evse were installed?
Great questions
Albo will be so upset ! Take it on notice like everything.
As long as there no free charging for personal ev they must pay ….
For a so called highly educated man,that was a lot of ums in his response.
how are these muppets in charge of taxpayers money????
I paid $2200 for my EV charger AND installation and not $43,000
Any consideration to cost?
Are chargers good ForCanada , -25’C ? Where is electric Power coming from , a diesel engine / fossil fuel ? Or importing from USA?
Would it not been better we built Chargers, instead of Batteries

Copper is $4.77 US at present. Think about all that copper in these idle recharging stations. Money in the bank matey.
How many politicians actually own a EV so why 58?
I believe ten of the chargers are public. Does the taxpayer get a clip on the electricity sold by AGL?
Keep buying ev 😅
How many times can you say um?
Um, aah, um, aah 🤦♀️
FFS!!! Check out the Swamp Rat in blue.
Tsk,tsk, tsk..

EVs are not the future. We've reached peak EV. MGuy is a good source on YT for all EV nonsense if you can't be bothered to do the research yourself.
I doubt they would have Enough Current to Charge 54 Cars at the Same Time
