Aussies Love EVs ?...

Hi,

well, no they don\'t - there are hardly any here.
Hybrids are popular, with taxis and fleet vehicles.

But this guy is an engineer with bit of an attitude.
Some time ago he bought an EV to see if they matched the popular hype.

Of course they do not:

Much Aussie humor in abundance.
Will be incomprehensible to some .....

**Of course. Running costs are much lower, provided distances travelled
are significant.

**I\'m a BIG FAN OF John Cadogan. In fact, these videos were, in no small
part, responsible for my choice of my last car purchase (the first brand
new car I\'ve ever owner):

Everything John says about the Subaru is bang-on. Safe, quick and
comfortable. And toys, after 3 years of ownership, I have yet to explore
fully.

AND, everything John says about EVs is bang-on. However, his words do
not take into account a couple of facts:

* \'Peak oil\' has already been reached. Petrol and Diesel will just
become more expensive over time.
* Eventually, Australians will see sense and dump this abortion of a
Liberal government and install a government that realises that EVs are
inevitable. At that point in time, petrol prices will rise, as CO2 taxes
are installed.

**Oh yeah, there is one more thing that John overlooked.

A client collected his amp a few weeks back. I walked to his car and
noted that he had a Tesla Model 3. I had never seen one close up, so I
had a good look. A bit spartan, but it had everything that was needed. I
asked him a bunch of questions. Quality control - tick. Acceleration. -
tick tick. \"In fact\", he said, \'my other car is a Ferrari 458. The Tesla
is a bit quicker. The Tesla doesn\'t handle quite as well, but it is, by
any objective measure, very good indeed.\" His Tesla is the two motor,
all wheel drive one.

So, for roughly 1/3rd the cost of a Ferrari 458, one can own a car that
accelerates very quickly indeed.

If Tesla made a small station wagon (like my Suby), I\'d be standing at
the head of the queue.

I love this video:

**It makes it relevant to SOME drivers. The Tesla Model 3 (and, indeed
all Teslas) offer performance that far exceeds that of any other car
that is remotely close to the same price.

** Which only goes to prove my point.

John\'s vid was all about the economics of typical EVs

Anyone who buys Ferrari is NOT into economics.

He or she is into wanking - like you.

The guys a lying scammer, he was well known in the car trade for telling
dealers and importers, \"Give me this vehicle for 12 months and a petrol
card or I\'ll give you a bad review, sight unseen.\"

And he never declared his interest in the Hyundai importer...

Of course a stopped clock is correct twice a day, but he\'s scum.
