They are interesting for sure. A very different driving experience. I'm still getting used to all the new car "safety" stuff. We can do it because we have solar panels and live in the city. There's plenty of places it wouldn't work and lots of people it wouldn't work for. If it weren't for the investment opportunity it presents we wouldn't have bought it.

Im all for having the choice man, don't get me wrong. If it suits your needs , go for it. At the end of the day , the end users of EVs largely arent driving this.
Totally agree, not buying an ev anytime soon.
The markets should have been left alone to drive it. There would be many less EVs in the world still if governments weren't incentivising and pushing them. It's not the governments job to push that on everyone. It used to annoy me too and still does to an extent, we just decided we could profit from it while denying the government income revenue.
This is the ev my wife was talking about.

Do you need 7 seats? We got the EV6 GT Line RWD (RWD goes further off one charge and has more frunk space than AWD). Even with a few extras it came under the luxury vehicle tax price. On a novated lease we don't pay the $7K in GST either.
Just window shopping on what's out there. The rwd gt sounds like a nice fun car though.
