I’ve been thinking about getting an electric car for a while. When I talk to people about them they warn me off them. Too expensive they say, fires they say, depreciation they say, charging places not enough and range is not enough. I think for a lot of people it will be hard to convince them to switch. I’m ready, just have to convince my wife on which one to get. Seal , atto 3 or MG4?

Hey guys, how about thinking of getting some Expert guests on your show.

[@pacnat1]

I would think Two Blokes that have driven and owned electric cars is a good start.

[@c.s2001]

@@pacnat1 yes, then some guest experts I agree.

I like John Cadogan’s assessment- A 38 Billion dollar tax on The Car Industry , that will be passed on in full , to consumers that want to drive vehicles that work , and that suit their lifestyle. When is the Kremlin in Kanberra going to get out of our lives.

Pay more for gas but get a safer bigger car. That’s why there’s more trucks on the road.

EV hype is over, there is no advantage to owning one, no cost savings. Without tax incentives sales go over a cliff and they depreciate like broken laptops.

If I wanted efficiency I’d just walk.
