Thread: Wheels issue devoted to electric vehicles

I think the take up of EV's,particularly in Aus will be a lot slower than people are predicting.

Have a look at this

How Australia compares globally for electric vehicle sales


2018 sales were hardly any more,and from January sales,2019,they look similar to last year.

1200 Ev's out of over 1 000 000 total vehicle sales is just a drop in the ocean.

Its pretty obvious why the oil companies and their fuel stations are not installing charging points.

Things will change,but not rapidly.

I think Ev's are a great idea,but won't suit many until they are further developed,and improved.

Australian consumers usually wait and then follow in a big way. EVs will boom here over the next 5 years, as European cities shut diesels out and EVs take over. We are very tech savvy once convinced. It will take less time than expected IMO.

Other countries have forward thinking governments which are planning for an EV future.

The oz gov are kinda sticking their toe in the water....
