Does this extra axle weight on single wheel steering axles mean that the axle loads increase and so increase damage to the road surface?Quote:
If so they should be charged for that.

Oh no, they're electric vehicles!
Wider tyres would spread the extra weight.

No FBT rulz Looks like EV and hybrid get a little cheaper for everyone and a lot cheaper if you can Salary Sacrifice.
The Hybrid inclusion forced to get the EV rules in is a little like the EU C02 free Nuclear and Gas in the EU Green energy taxonomy " EU Taxonomy Regulation outlines the classification system for what are considered environmentally sustainable economic activities, "
Here at least the Hybrid inclusion is sunseted legally at 2025!
"The Albanese Labor Government has secured the support of the Australian Greens for its electric vehicle (EV) incentives bill, though not without a couple of amendments.
The Greens and the Government have agreed to the following amendments to the Treasury Laws Amendment (Electric Car Discount) Bill:
- Sunsetting support for plug-in hybrids on April 1, 2025
- Prioritising electric vehicles in the Australian Government’s fleet procurement policy by removing plug-in hybrids except in “exceptional circumstances” Link
...the ATO will issue guidance on when household charging technology can be included within fringe benefits tax-exempt vehicle packages (FBT again)"
With dozens of third party helpers with salary sacrificed car leasing I suspect most business will very be approachable as it helps with staff retention as well![thumbsupbig]
dooH niboR robbing the poor to pay the rich.
great Labor principle.

Two of my receptionist are considering it now[biggrin] I think having more new efficient cars cycling into the second hand markets is good for lower income types as well.Quote:

I do know some one who has ordered one of the ev Taycan. 2.8seconds to 100kph. Bucket seat required for that[biggrin] Fast take off on my bikes with helmet on required very good neck muscles[thumbsupbig] a new "Honda CBR1000RR-R SP 0-60 mph in 3.13 seconds" Mine old things were just a bit slower.
My sad thought is the Land Rover Hydrogen due in a year or two will be priced over the limit as well.[bawl]
The only unique problem with EVs is that once they come out of lease at 5 years let's say, the chances of battery failure on cheap EVs is greatly increased with huge risk to say pensioners who would perhaps buy one. The cost of a new battery would devastate a low income person. Where a Honda Jazz for example would be expected to last over 200KK or 10 years without major problems that exceed say $2000 over its life.
Look at the history of Nissan Leaf where even relatively recent ones have much reduced range and many battery failures.
It is too early to know the incidence on MG EV's although I think you yourself have had a pretty poor experience with the range not being as advertised even when new so how will it be in 5 years?

As well as a BS issue. The claimed distance of 400KM with a 600KWH battery works for a load of around 12 tonnes all in - so the truck and trailer before you stick anything on it. Even with just a 10 tonne load my calculations show a range of 240KM for the 600KWH pack. Same as Tesla's claims are BS as well when you work out some half decent loads.Quote:

the average mugwump is being led to believe that if everybody drives EV's then some sort of green salvation will happen to the planet.
that is just sheer and pure bull**** perpetrated by the contributors to EV production.
remember from basic school science....energy is neither created nor destroyed.....the ICE car makes it's energy under its bonnet and dumps out it's exhaust....the EV makes it's energy from factories and electricity generating sources and still dumps it's waste from chimneys into the atmosphere.
the manufacturing footprint is massive and really no greener , just shifted sideways , to be seen from a different view.
