Well, no - since fuel excise goes into the government's overall income and isn't directly linked to financing roads.Quote:

I wasn't referring to Adelaide - I quite like it - it's on the way to nowhere, not at the edge of it. Think about where Tombie lives... [bigwhistle] I'll cop an earful from him now, but that's fine as well. [biggrin]Quote:

Hopefully they have listened to customers,and modified the later models of the vehicle.
Some days I think the sun will never stop shining on me! EV battery essential is Graphite despite being called Lithium[biggrin] A Hydrogen stock that pumps out 1 tonne of Hydrogen and 2 tonnes of Graphite is my smile today! Russia has made me a LOT via the other energy source I like a LOT.
Analysis:China's graphite curbs will accelerate plans around alternatives - CNA
A gift to at least 2 companies I hold[biggrin][biggrin] "China's move on Friday to curb exports of graphite, a key electric vehicle battery material, will only accelerate efforts to develop alternative sources and materials, but that will take time, industry executives and analysts said.
China, the world's largest graphite producer and exporter, will require export permits as of Dec. 1 for some graphite products, including spherical graphite used by automakers. It refines more than 90 per cent of the world's graphite into the material used in almost all EV battery anodes, which is the negatively charged portion of a battery."
Listening to a guy lecturing from the seat of an old volvo is always fraught.. but he has noticed industry trends.Quote:

We're seeing this in Australia. Hyundai released the Ioniq twins. Tesla cut prices and they have gone from conducting ballots to see who can buy one to dipping their toes into the world of discounting. Ford have just released the Mustang with cray cray pricing. When EV's were new and a few people wanted them at whatever the cost this kind of business plan worked. But alas those days are over. They are either going to have to be content with selling in niche volumes, cut their prices to be competitive in the market place, or just give up and hope the whole EV thing just goes away.
EV's are hitting the mainstream. It looks like it's going to be Tesla and the chinese from here on.
In reality Legacy is done. If there is a brand you've always wanted to buy from don't leave it too long!
