Thread: JLR Survey 50% of Australian Millennials want Electric over ICE

BUT BUT!
They would not be able to afford Smashed Avo breakfasts AND an EV let alone a house.
I guess they could live in their 100K EV.
I will expect this to cause yet another round of "it's not fair"

Regards Philip A

Why is it that when I first got my license I had to make do with a $300 XL Falcon & make it roadworthy with parts salvaged from the local tip. When I first left home had a share rental house & rented or second hand whitegoods etc.

Nowdays when Milennials leave the nest they have new houses , new cars & furniture specced higher than I do now. Don't worry they will be driving New EV's without sacrificing their cafe late .

Millennials not interested in ice , I thought this would be good news . This on a quick view may mean they aren’t interested in the drug . But really if they don’t want a fossil fuel burner , there could be more for those that do .

I'd prefer an electric vehicle over an ICE vehicle as well. Price point is still too high in AU, infrastructure is still too sparse. Will the market start addressing these in the next 2 years? Should be.

If it’s economically viable, the market definitely will.
However, I suspect it isn’t. But, the government will find a lazy few billion of your dollars to throw at it anyway, just to pretend they’ve made a difference to all our lives.

I believe the shift to electric vehicles will happen faster than us old blokes expect. After all, who predicted the rise of the smartphone?
JLR is lagging behind on the electric shift, and needs to catch up fast if it wants to keep growing.

I assume by sparse you mean longer distance traveling???

I’m seeing the light for around town........car

More and more fast chargers are becoming available but I wonder how often you can use them I.e. will using them every charge decrease the life of battery.

The scale required is still to be addressed. A couple of charging locations with a couple of chargers isn't going to work when the take up is more than a few percent. Especially if a quick charge takes 10 to 15 minutes. The motoring associations have had mobile quick chargers for some years to assist their members but more will be required. Etc.
