          @drprox:

          Those putting up barriers/excuses to ownership aren't likely the target market right now or don't understand.

          I prefer to think of these people as simply being unaware of the realities of EV ownership, rather that being outright hostile or willfully ignorant.

          For instance, the need for EV charging infrastructure is not equivalent to the need for servos because the vast majority of charging is typically done at home.

          My view is the take up could and will continue to be huge even if it's mostly 2 vehicle households replacing 1 with an EV

          I totally agree that this is the likely trajectory.

      Worth noting ICE tech got better for a very long time but people still needed cars in the interim.

  What should I get ?
  BYD Dolphin Essential or Mazda CX3.
  I was told that electric car save a lot for the fuel/electricity each week.
  I will have the car charge outside mostly because my accommodation doesn't support EV charging.

    If you don't have access to home or work charging, and there is no free/cheap local chargers, then EV is not a good choice.

      What's wrong with Hybrid. Gives you more flexibility.

        You have an entire engine/gearbox/fuel system to look after, in addition to the Battery/Motor system that you're also looking after.

        More weight and more stuff to go wrong.

          klaw81 on 12/02/2025 - 15:14

          @Nom: Exactly.

          You could argue that hybrids are the best of both worlds. They have higher efficiency which leads to lower running costs, but retain long range without the need to refill, and without the need to rely on fledgling public charging infrastructure. And even if the battery degrades and loses capacity, you still have a petrol engine to power your car.

          But on the other hand, they're also the worst of both worlds. They have electric motors, batteries, fuel tanks and motor and gearbox. That's a ton of complexity that means there's way more stuff to break, and all that equipment is heavy. Plus, they have servicing and maintenance costs that simply aren't required for pure electric cars, so the running costs are not as low as they could be.

          It's going to come down to what you actually need from your vehicle. Personally, I spent a year evaulating every trip I did in my diesel hatchback, determining how different that trip might have been if I had been driving an EV instead - would I have needed to change my route, or stop to charge for a long time, or be inconvenienced in any way. And it turned out that it would make basically zero difference, so I switched and would never ever go back. The convenience of charging at home is highly under-rated, the quiet and smooth drivetrain is amazing, the cost of ownership is so much lower and my wife loves it even more than I do.

          If you tow a caravan, or drive really long distances regularly, or live in an area with very few chargers, it might not be a good idea. But very few people actually do those things - I reckon about 80% of Australians could easily make the switch, and all it would take is a bit of education and a change of attitude.

          Hybrids might just be a gateway drug to EVs, and I'm totally okay with that.
