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.

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

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 Cheesy

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 Cheesy

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 Wink

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 Sad

the top one can beat a V8 super 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 Roll Eyes

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.

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.

The Internet is a strawman in other Words!

Cheesy

Real estate agents et al love the interwebs: you know, all the German uncle bobs with 4 fubard kids and stuff etc.... Shocked

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

Aussies are hated around the world for a reason!

sure..

there's a car for every job..

thats how I see a car..

'WHAT JOB IS IT GOING TO DO 90% OF THE TIME"

so I bought the mrs a swift... run on the smell of an oily rag.. great car.. cost 17K

Electric car?

40K plus..

and then in 8 years time you need to replace the battery..

8K... Shocked

You’re a spastic : I recommend you stay away from making financial decisions with consequence!

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.

When you say you hope for a 200km range you betray the fact you’re a total c word!

But you know that of course, like the rest of us! Cheesy
