Australian elections, and Australia itself, are completely irrelevant to a global industry.Do you think the vibe on EVs is accelerating due to the fact that an election is looming
Do you think the vibe on EVs is accelerating due to the fact that an election is looming and anything prior is due to the rusted on Liberal fossil fuel narrative or what?
@JohnDe nailed it, the price of fuel and the fall in resale value of ICE cars, will push the uptake of E.V's, also when people go to trade in they will have to order a car.Do you think the vibe on EVs is accelerating due to the fact that an election is looming and anything prior is due to the rusted on Liberal fossil fuel narrative or what?
I mean local ....even hereAustralian elections, and Australia itself, are completely irrelevant to a global industry.
You know the mob who talked about weekends and mileage and towing capacity might not have given the industry much of a marketI mean local ....even here
I know quite well how irrelevant we are thanks
Fall of resale of cars....where do you live?@JohnDe nailed it, the price of fuel and the fall in resale value of ICE cars, will push the uptake of E.V's, also when people go to trade in they will have to order a car.
The manufacturers aren't making stock on expected sales, they are only making to order, therefore people have to think do I buy an ICE car now and wait 6 months if so how much will it be worth when I need to replace it in 5 years?
Most rational thinking people will do the sums IMO.
I don't think it has anything to do with politics, if politicians get involved, all that will happen is taxpayers will help out the automakers.
As happens with the building stimulus, just puts the price of houses up.
Go and try to do a deal, see how it rolls, selling privately may be good I don't think trading in is as rosy as some think.Fall of resale of cars....where do you live?
There's no stock mate .....no cars join the waiting listGo and try to do a deal, see how it rolls, selling privately may be good I don't think trading in is as rosy as some think.
You have no ideaThere's no stock mate .....no cars join the waiting list
O.k no need to get your knickers in a knot, we are only talking about cars mate.You have no idea
Incentive like ruining your weekends type of incentiveIt's been pointed out before how low we rank as a market for EV's.
Either there has to be some serious money put into manufacturing them here, or the gov't has to slash luxury car tax or give some other incentive to buy them otherwise the manufacturers will ignore us and concentrate on the other markets.
Thanks to the coal waving moron, we are seen as a backwater for high tech ev vehicles.
Go and order a Landcruiser tomorrow
Go and order any desirable car tomorrow and give me a delivery date, the Hyundai EV6 orders run out to 2005, a mate ordered a Hyundai I20N he has been waiting 3 months, still no arrival time.Then give me a delivery date
Why would I order a Landcruiser? with fuel heading well above $2/litre? I've just sold a diesel 4X4, been there done that.Go and order a Landcruiser tomorrow
2005 is where your head isGo and order any desirable car tomorrow and give me a delivery date, the Hyundai EV6 orders run out to 2005, a mate ordered a Hyundai I20N he has been waiting 3 months, still no arrival time.
Like I said, most manufacturers are only making to order, it makes sense, the last thing they want is the cost of making cars on spec with a hope that they will sell.
The cost to change over to E.V's will be huge, the last thing they will want is to be making ICE cars, that they have to support for 10years from manufacture.
That is just smart business sense, wait until the supply of EV's improves, then see what price you get for an ICE car.
