So you save 200aud and waste 8 to 9 hours..ohhh no not wasted, instead of stopping in a nice restaurant, you can get crappy servo food while you want...
And save again on your coffee plastic cup?
I am actually shocked at how bad it is.
And will definitively not use an ev for any long trip for probably as long as charging takes an hour....
You will own nothing even your time (hint..your life). But be happy?
Were it not for the price which so far does not compute:Yes, put infrastructure in before expecting people to buy the cars.
Although I'd have to say that EV's are a great option if most of one's driving is suburban and can recharge at home.
Which i would summarise as :Yes, put infrastructure in before expecting people to buy the cars.

Were it not for the price which so far does not compute:
savings do not warrant the extra cost of ev, even with free recharge with 10y life battery, i could live comfortably with an ev as a runabout for trips around town.but not for farming tasks, nor any decent trip of any type up here in northern SE Qld..
But it's ok, the ABC fact checker just told me yesterday we have plenty of EV utes available ?
I’ve driven thousands of country & interstate kilometres without an issue in my EV.Yes, put infrastructure in before expecting people to buy the cars.

sure it will but that will worsen the case for EV so the decision to postpone EV purchase ;When it comes to running costs we do have to consider that once the amount of tax on fuel starts to fall you can bet your bippy there will be tax per Kilometre travelled before too long.
The tax on fuel is Huge, no way will it Not be replaced with something on EVs
Another real life experience driving an EV from Perth - Melbourne - Sydney return and a few observations, which we have already discussed on here. But it is good to hear it first hand.
The boot is packed with a huge box of plugs — from "trickle" or "granny" chargers all the way to "DC fast".Krishna and David did a 9,000km trip in an EV — and it wasn't as hard as they thought
Krishna Sen and her partner David Hill drove across the whole width of the country — from Perth to Melbourne, then Sydney, and back to Perth — in an electric car. This is how it went.www.abc.net.au
This is all to make this meticulously planned, time-consuming trip possible.
Krishna Sen and her partner David Hill are driving across the whole width of the country twice — from Perth to Melbourne, then Sydney, and back to Perth — in an electric car.
"When you start driving in an electric vehicle on a long journey, there's this thing at the back of your mind: 'Is the range of this car going to be enough to get me from one charging station to another?'," says Krishna, a retired social science professor.
"So, we started with some anxiety. Our car theoretically can do 450 kilometres with a full charge, but in reality, it can't.
"If it's a cold morning, it (the battery) does less. If we need to use the heater, it does less.
"All of this adds to your anxiety, and also a bit of excitement.
Over the course of the 25-day, 9,211-kilometre journey, Krishna and David found the trip was not as hard as they (or that swift commenter) thought.
Now is a great time to sell an ICEV, prices are very high for good stock. That’s going to change soon, new ICEV stock is finally starting to flow into the market. Prices of used stock is bound to drop soon.Hello John De have been toying with the electric car purchase for a while now, but current car is only 3 years young. I am presently working for a former Fed pollie who recently pruchased an EV and by all accounts it is the ants pants. Time and patience i have to make sure the bugs are ironed out
It’s always the knee’s ?I'm getting exactly what they are driving, I couldn't get in and out of the model 3, way too much joint damage.

Hard part of this is she is really happy with the Subaru we presently have. Her car not mineNow is a great time to sell an ICEV, prices are very high for good stock. That’s going to change soon, new ICEV stock is finally starting to flow into the market. Prices of used stock is bound to drop soon.
Cadogan has his say on that issue:
For me EVs don't make much sense at all *at this stage*.... As much as I love my new EG (electric generator that I posted about elsewhere)
