         Cheaper EVs is a good thing.

         Australia is more than cities.

         Cities can make public transport free and congestion charges if they want to reduce usage of cars.

            I don’t think congestion charges would cover building/maintaining public transport.

               All infrastructure for cars and the fallout from their pollution (don't forget the tyres) is heavily subsidized by the tax payer and not as cost effective as a tram or railway.
