Are you ready to go fully electric?
Posted by: Snow White
With more car manufacturers moving toward electric models, I’m curious to know if you would consider making an EV your next primary vehicle. What are the biggest factors for you—environmental impact, fuel savings, or concerns about charging infrastructure and battery life?

Yes, because 90% of our driving is urban, and we have a home with a garage for charging.

Not ready yet, I've just retired. We tow a small van, so we'll keep the Commodore for the forseable future. The hobby car is a keeper, just for fun. And while Anne has her Golf, when that dies we probably won't replace it. My concerns are battery life and charging infrastructure. I'd go for a hybred over a full electric car.

I imagine when the first horseless carriages were released, early adopters were driving with a spare can of fuel simply, because the infrastructure wasn't there. A lack of charging infrastructure will resolve itself over time, so that doesn't concern me. The impact of the internal combustion engine on the environment, that concerns me.
But to answer your question, yes, my next car (planned for early 2027) will most certainly be electric. Why then? Because that's when the ideal car for me will be released in Australia, and I'm going to be all over it like white on rice. 😊
It was going to be released early this year but was stalled for a revision following customer feedback on the first release. I’m quietly excited.
