Mg4 xpower. Electric hot hatch, should be in aus by the end of the year, estimated price is less than 60k drive away. 0-100 in 3.8 seconds.…

Imo none of that really matters in the long term. I went to a pretty average public school, didn't study overly hard in high school until…

Maybe EVs are your future, but for millions of people across the world, EVs are the present. It's going to be the same as when the first…

The app exists, it's live in a lot of other regions, just not Australia. No idea why, but it doesn't exist. I was originally pretty unhappy…

Form https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HOwktdiZmm40atGPwymzrxErMi1ZrKPP. Ioniq 5 has 461km at 90kph, 289 at 120 kph M3 mic has 408km…

You're comparing nedc with wltp range. Yeh Sr+ has about 350-400km real world range, LR has about 500, ioniq 5 is about 450. I'd say use…

But the king of the joke EVs will always be the Mazda ev. 1/2 the range for all of the price, who wouldn't want one.

Size wise they're fairly similar, but the tiny boot hatch on the model 3 sucked and we have 2 small kids. We could barely fit the pram…

I have an ioniq 5 and have rented out the model 3 before it to see if we wanted that. They are both great cars, we chose the ioniq 5…

I expect the model y to be 5-10k more than the model 3, which means base model is around 65-70k before onroads and around 80k for the long…

That's min 72k

You do realise their usual bonuses are substantially more than those watches right? Also she wasn't fired because she didn't do anything…

I can show you my maintenance schedule for my kona EV, it's pretty much just inspection and your rotation to 100,000 km, where there's a…

Yes, there are already garages that do this. You can always replace a pack with one from a wrecker, like we do with engines. You can also…

I doubt the are a lot of any car with over 400k km on it that are even remotely economical to repair. Most cars get at least an engine…

You'd be surprised to see how expensive maintaining tooling and inventory is. Ice cars have a lot of parts that will no longer be required…

The biggest issue with petrol cars (same as with horses) are a de-escalation of economies of scale. When they're not built and sales start…

No they're not, they can be recycled extremely efficiently. Current batteries are good for 1000-1500 cycles. On a long range ev (e.g Kona…

I think they meant the ioniq 5 and the other cars in that vein. Hyundai really screwed up their naming. They have the Hyundai ioniq, but…

Yup, and 18 minute 10-80% charge. I liked it enough to have a prorder for it to replace me Hyundai kona electric.

Have you looked at the ioniq 5?

I can go somewhere between 450 and 500 km at a around 95kph, you lose 5-10% on AC if you want that on (depends on temperature). Going up…

Nuclear is a decent solution for 10 years ago, but right now that ship has sailed. It takes far too long and it's not financially feasible…

It's not all sunshine and rainbows though, since it's time of use pricing…

I drive a kona electric, and I generally drive it at 80kph or less which gives me an efficiency of around 13.5 kwh per 100km. I am also on…

While I agree with the idea of evs paying for the roads the drive on there are some massive fundamental flaws with this tax. 1. The price.…

I don't really care about deprecation because: a) I plan to keep it for a long time b) Teslas do depreciate quite considerably. If you…

I'd say ride quality is better in the Tesla and power delivery and regen breaking are smoother in the Tesla too.
