Wait for the stats after a month or 2 of now fuel..
Expect to see a decent % jump in China EVs.
My guess is EV market share of new sales will at least double this year vs last year
Everyone else has been caught asleep at the wheel with respect to EVs. Japan especially.
My smug levels are raised significantly for having already bought an EV.
Can’t understate the typical Aussies desire for Succulent Chinese Wheels i suppose.
Bonus points for if it’s electric and you ask “what is the charge % “
BMWs and Mercs and a bunch of others are also built in China.
Makes sense to go ev
Unfortunately, successive govts have been asleep with regards to EV. No infrastructure built to support EV uptake means many can’t get one even if they can afford it. I find myself in this situation. Ready to pull the plug on an EV, but no way to charge it at home or at work. All the public options are pay only, and not location ideal.
Wait til BYD launch under 5% loans of 5 year periods next month 👀
China gives us EVs. USA give us trucks that get 6km/L and raise the road toll.
I bought a BYD dolphin. When I first got it, it was exciting and rare to see any other BYDs, now I’m seeing them everywhere.
Got Exploren chargers in my apartment building, slow charging but only 50 cents per session…
I just leave it on charge overnight.
50 cents for 400km, literally free travel…
Has anyone driven the Atto 2 and if so, is it a good first car to buy?
I know people like to think Trump is a Russian asset but he’s doing wonders for China too.
Because they get tax rebates when they imported it to australia, not when they sold it.
And we still pay a luxury car tax! Farce?
I feel it’s more that all EVs (aside from Kias?) are made in China so ~25% of the new car market is now EVs?
Good! Tired of the ‘old guard’ taking customers for granted!
Damn…..
Do teslas count? What we receive are built in China, which fits the title.
