It seems the coalition's nuclear plan is saving money by assuming lower demand for EV charging.
Any savings will be more than offset by increased petrol costs, conveniently left out of the costings.
The ISP saves about $75b per year in petrol costs by 2050, as shown here

It moves most of the nuclear cost beyond the 25-year costing window.
And it ignores the much higher petrol bill (10s of billions of $ per yr) by assuming fewer people drive EVs.
