What everyone needs to understand is that EVERY EUROPEAN MANUFACTURER is planning a huge model introduction of EV's and China has already laid down the rules for about 20% of cars sold have to be electric from the early 20's. The impact of that will mean that it won't be a case of buying what you want but buying what is made and sold in this country. The VW dealer I spoke to today told me that there will be an electric Golf in Oz this year but I will believe that when I see it. There is a truism in this world, never believe what a car salesman tells you. As for charging, when petrol was first introduced there was no petrol stations and if you went for a drive a bloke stood on the side of the road selling petrol out of cans so things were not what we see today. I think for day to day running around in the metro area a large amount of charging will be done at home, some won't be able to do this as they live in flats and apartments but they will be in the minority. Everyone in Oz thinks that the range is the problem when 99% of them never drive outside the metro area and the mythical interstate trip will take a week to complete when most have never driven such a trip.
