you will need an upgrade of the electricity network.

i think servicing costs for EV's will go thru the roof.

high tech always sounds great in principle but when it fails, who has the skill to fix it?

you think your average country town mechanic is going to shell out 10's of 10,000 to get the software?

you think EV companies will hand it over?

tesla wont.

not one bit of information will be provided to anyone but a tesla dealer.

plus which home mechanics will probably give them selves a 240 V fatal shock.

EV's might be fine for german autobahns.

i dont think they will go too well towing horse floats along dusty muddy country roads with river crossings

The urban market is the one that will drive the uptake of electric cars, and they will suffer from the same market forces which effect our wider car market in general. We're a small and very segmented car market which drives up prices. I read somewhere we have more makes/models per capita than just about anywhere.

The day I can buy a leccy car which suits my needs 100% and makes financial sense I'll buy one. In the interim, I'd be interested in a plug in hybrid and the only SUV currently available is the Mitsubishi PHEV, soz I'm not a Bitsumishi fan Smiley

Sadly, we're not getting the new plug-in Kluger, only the hybrid.
