Hmm. Cadogen covers this as well, but obviously I can't link to that.

Oh, no, there goes your house/garage insurance if insurers enforce the same rules, they are alleging to have in mind for parking garages due to EV fires.Quote:

I find it interesting due to the problems encountered in the UK, where there is a far greater coverage of charging stations than here.

Just for my interest - were you ok with us paying tradies to buy diesel utes?Quote:

I only watched a little bit of it too - but seems like the usual FUD. Let's compare one of the cheapest to run diesel cars with one of the most expensive short range EV's - and then let's charge it at the most expensive places and whine about how long it takes. They were a bit light on details, but it would appear the Taycan used just under 19kwh/100 - which is around 6 more than a model Y (and probably even more than a model 3 which would have been equivalent).Quote:

There you go again - anyone that doesn't love EV's is automatically a hater.Quote:

Give me strength...
So we've posted a video saying that EV's cost more to drive than a diesel car. It's in the UK but this is an Australian forum.Quote:

My model Y uses around 13 kwh per 100k.
So lets say I pay 50c which is probably more than I actually would but let's go with that. So it's going to cost me $6.50 per 100k. Probably I'm going to use the QESH stations at 30c once I run out of home electrons so it's more likely going to be $3.90 minus the RACQ discount.
So If you can tell me what medium large SUV drive for less than that in fuel costs in QLD I'll retract my FUD statement! In fuel costs alone you'd be really working to manage to get an EV to cost more than an ICE car.
Posting a video saying "Ev's cost more to fuel than ICE cars" is just FUD which someone who's not familiar with EV's might not be able to unpack. Is the purpose of this forum to educate and inform or just dump on something you don't like?
For the record my defender at 12 l/100 and 2.25 pl is $27 per hundred. Is that a fair comparison? Probably not. But it's just as stupid as comparing a Porsche Taycan to a BMW 5 series diesel.
He's presenting accurate findings as pertain to him. But don't let that get in the way of defending your choices.Quote:

Costly to buy and maintain, difficult to insure, anxiety-inducing and
hazardous to run and park, and rapidly depreciating in value: what’s not to
like?
