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.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

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.

can you show us a fossil fool car that doesn't emit a toxic gas or gas people in a confined space ? Or one that doesn't need to dispose of carcinogenic sump oil on a regular basis or cost f.ckall to service ?

Like I said aussies are busy manufacturing excuses not to manufacture anything Sad

The Mechanic needs a caravan so his creditors are always one step behind.

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.
