Thread: EV general discussion

I posted a few days ago about the ethings that are over running out bike paths in QLD.

So there was an 8 yo die on Thursday when two collided. And another teenager die last night. I hope action will come.

Second e-bike fatality in three days as teenager dies on the Gold Coast - ABC News

BYD to allow their cars to be used in V2g.

Just a moment...

The OKA will eventually be my home from home. I will have it on Club Permit plates, although insurance doesn't change, but I will also put the D2 on club.

I'm not being hard on anyone. I was merely pointing out that people have different needs, and incomes. What works for your neighbour won't work for me. My son has a GQ Patrol, his wife has a Y62, and he drives a N60 (?) petrol Hilux to work.They have a massive camper trailer and a speed boat and numerous motorcycles. Sure, they need the cars, and they work to pay for them.

For me, the D2 is what I need. Sure, I'm now single and it's a silly car for one person, but I no longer do high ks on a daily basis, but I DO tow heavy stuff, and I DO get off road when poss. I don't fit the good Captain's definition of insanity, and I clearly don't have his disposable income.

I have absolutely no issue with his choices, or yours. But you can't just make blanket statements based on your own priorities, as they aren't mine. And mine have changed again lately. Cancer will do that.
However, if you want to help me move the D1 and SIII on I'm open to negotiations

Sorry, I can't help with the Fiat, D1 or SIII, as I like wagons and have had four of them. I bought the D3 as IMO it is a car for for all seasons being 4wd, as big as a van inside and a technological masterpiece. Good on you for saving those cars and I hope they go to a good home.
