        I would love nothing better than to do a ICE vs EV comparison in 10 years.

        Dealers are already steering well clear of EVs and the trade in price is deplorable.

    I was told yesterday by a dealer that Toyota had signed a deal with BYD to use their batteries. Surely this would imply that Toyota had done their research and found the BYD batteries to be reliable?

    • Pcoder on 14/01/2025 - 10:07

      Toyota already use the BYD battery in one model sold in China (Toyota bZ3).

      LFP batteries do have some key advantages over the Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC), which includes less controversial mined materials required, lower cost, lower fire risk among others. One downside is its less energy dense.

      • joungs on 14/01/2025 - 23:48

        Missed the biggest advantage, LFP batteries degrade far slower than normal lithium ion batteries

  • harry56 on 14/01/2025 - 10:47

    What other brands are launching small EV's in Australia this year that would be potentially worth holding out for? Similar price range ones.

    • TheFreaK on 14/01/2025 - 12:56

      XPeng and Leapmotor will probably be the two main competitors

      BYD is looking to establish market dominance before they get in though

      • tommypickles on 14/01/2025 - 17:51

        Smallest XPeng is G6 (suv) or Mona (sedan). Both have similar length of 4.7 metres ie they’re not small. Great tech in them though.

      • drprox on 15/01/2025 - 07:37

        For me the key medium term will be who established a "dealer" network and sells their own cars. Byd still don't to my knowledge but it's something to keep an eye on as speaks to a commitment to sell cars in Australia longer term. MG do of course.

    Meanwhile, Toyota are selling their hybrid Klugers for like $75k or more. Tell them they're dreaming. It's a decent brand and decent car but not worth it these days

    • getk on 14/01/2025 - 11:42

      Exactly. Once BYD and similar companies penetrate and get the word of mouth, Toyota best sellers will have to force down their prices

      • JuryWheel on 14/01/2025 - 12:58

        But you're comparing an EV to an ICE car….it's a completely different proposition for people at the moment.

      Which model is more expensive?

    • lukie85 on 14/01/2025 - 18:35

      The charger costs about $599 at a discount.
      If you have solar at home, you may want a better charger to charge your car with excess solar power.

    Ok, where are all the "when EV's cost less than petrol cars, I'll buy one!" clowns now that prices are tumbling and EV costs are in freefall? What's your latest excuse? Let me guess… "EV's are worth nothing… No resale value.." or "when they can charge in 5 mins and do 1,600km on a single charge… I'll get one" while your current car spends 10 hours at home doing nothing and you drive your 30km round trip to your 8hr a day job.

    Legacy automakers are on notice. The next 12 to 18 months are going to destroy the likes of Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and the other "hanger on-ers" and will put serious dents into big players like Toyota and Ford.

    I welcome our Chinese overlords dumping their cheap bulk EV's into our market just to get rid of them. This is only going to benefit consumers.

    • jimwh on 14/01/2025 - 13:44

      If you tracked Toyota's price in China in the past decade you will see how much Toyota's ICE car price has dropped. Expect the same thing happens here for EV and ICE cars…hold you money if you are not on the market…

      I'm just waiting for a 7 seater that can tow a small caravan or trailer that costs ~$50k, with ~6-700km range and can charge up to 80% of that in around 15-20 mins.

      • klaw81 on 14/01/2025 - 14:43

        Are there even any non-EVs available new that meet those stringent criteria? The best I can come up with is a Mitsubishi Outlander, but may not have the necessary towing capacity.

        • JuryWheel on 14/01/2025 - 15:21

          Santa Fe, Sorrento, Outlander, Kluger, Everest, Mu-X etc?

    • gromit on 14/01/2025 - 17:53

      freely admit I was one of em and now an EV will certainly be my wifes next car (with V2G/V2H) and likely mine will be as well as I assume by 2026 charging network will be better so my needs will be met.

      • mnypwrwmn on 14/01/2025 - 18:06

        Charging network is the exact reason I will be waiting too! Not long now…

        • edfoo on 14/01/2025 - 18:07

          If you mainly charge your EV at home then it is not a big problem.

          If you are in suburbia it’s a mindset shift. Once you get familiar with owning one and having the knowledge of all the charging options at your disposal you won’t worry about public charging unless you live in an apartment. Even then there are thousands of people out there who own EVs and live in strata complexes and they get use to a new normal (ie charging at shopping centres, at work, friends places etc etc)

      I can fill my tank in 5 minutes. This gets me at least 500km.
      When EVs are at that stage of development, then you can call "us" out.

      And let's put aside depreciation and the relatively unproven newer brands. As BYD's Stella Li was quoted:
      "I tell my people we're not here to sell a car. We're a tech company, one that's changing the world."

      Enjoy your tech from a self-confessed "tech company". I'll continue to buy cars from car companies.

      According to her, "Brand building is the priority" because she says most people who try their cars buy one. Dynamics and stuff TG obsesses on are old hat. It's about electric drive and batteries, and integration into a buyer's digital life.

      If you're comfortable with all that baggage and want yet another rechargeable device from China, have at it.

    • pizzaofpeace on 14/01/2025 - 23:34

      Wasn’t looking for another car but I’ll bite:

      Still a Huge lack of infrastructure to support EVs

      Takes a long time charge at the charging stations. Seen enough queuing videos to know there’s gonna be more punch ons happening at these places. I’ll stick with the servos.

      These are getting dumped due to oversupply in China. This is just going to get worse for them, which means they’ll get more desperate to sell these out. More price drops to come for a car that’ll quickly depreciate due to that.

      With the weakening economy across the planet, trade protectionism incoming from Trump and Euorpe, lingering high inflation, there’ll be less demand for these and it’ll make vehicles even cheaper here.

      The technology also keeps getting better really quickly. Probably will see some new version that costs cheaper and runs better in 12 months.

      • klaw81 on 15/01/2025 - 09:28

        Still a Huge lack of infrastructure to support EVs

        I'm not sure that's really true. There definitely aren't as many as there needs to be in a few particular areas with high demand, but in general there are EV chargers pretty much everywhere I've ever wanted to go.

        Charging at home is one of the deeply under-rated advantages of EVs….provided that it's possible for you. I would have serious 2nd thoughts if I couldn't charge at home.

        Takes a long time charge at the charging stations. Seen enough queuing videos…..

        Again, the level of demand for public chargers is not as high as you might assume, apart from a couple of busy days per year.

        I've been driving an EV for well over 12 months now - in that time, I've used a public charger a grand total of 4 times, with each visit lasting about 20 minutes. I've never yet waited for a charging spot.

        I fully acknowledge that long queues can occur, and it would be frustrating to be waiting for a long time to get a charge, but from my own experience it's so unlikely that I've never been concerned about it.
