And Australia is doing what ? Gearing up to make excuses not to do anything as usual :(
Check out how far ahead the Germans are in this field. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvaQMTcckSg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa5_tudyAF8 |

Not everyone requires a car with those characteristics. In the menatime, we continue to develop the technology and then eventually you will get your wish. |

What about someone who drives 5km to and from work every day & goes to the local supermarket on the weekend? Can you see how an electric car would meet their needs? Your example is just a strawman argument. |

I'm hoping to see good electric cars for under $20K with a 10 year warranty on the battery and maybe a 200km range. If anyone does it, it will be the Chinese but it will take a few more years yet. |

Makes no difference what you call it. Like I said stick to your clunkers and pay through the nose to own and use it. That's what they are designed to do and everyone who manufactures them knows it too. |

An electric SUV beats a Lamborghini. Not bad for a cart :D LOL The expensive clunker was having a lot of trouble keeping up and making lots of silly noises whilst the Tesla was as quiet as a mouse :D Also note that in any of these races the Teslas never have to smoke the tires to get any grip. It has grip in spades with 4 wheel traction ;) Makes you realise how they have been pushing old rubbish polluting technology onto us for years under the guise of it's the only way to make a car :( |

most of the people who preach you should have an electric car don't have one themselves... the only people I see around town who do have one are people with a lot of money and who are "virtue" singling ... that was a number of years back... now I can't remember the last time I saw an electric car around town.. and why do they have to be so ugly? its like... hey lets make an electric car and lets see how ugly we can make it.. ffs ::) |

Prius = $41,085
cheapest model... I'd buy one if it was like $18,000 or so ...................... correction it has a 1.8 lt motor now... the Nissan Leaf is not even been sold in australia any more... so what electric cars do we sell in australia.. ?? seems we are not going that way anymore at all :-/ |

I'll repeat myself. I am waiting till the Chinese can sell me a new electric car for under $20K with a 10 year warranty on the battery. Maybe it will be 2 to 5 years from now? I am hoping my present car will last till then. I doubt it will be an Australian company that can meet that price range. |

Does it have a plug so you can charge it up ? No it doesn't so you still have to take it up the arse at the fool bowser and get ripped off on parts and service. It wouldn't take much for Toyota to produce a plugin hybrid and give the public some decent electric range but they won't of course. They know that the public would be trying to get as much out of it on its electric range capability. |

Is that how you take it when you fill up your clunker? So the Tesla S that requires minimal servicing; why does an annual service cost $600? |
