This is genuinely 🙏 not a toot to start an argument or prove a point. I'm interested in your thoughts and feelings.
How many of you will own an EV by 2028? I'd say it's 50/50 for me. My ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) is used very little, I walk, train/bus & teleport. 🙃
This is about you & your thoughts & feelings. Be kind/civil. 🙏🌻
My little car is cheap to run, and not used a lot, (I have an ebike and escooter and use them mostly for transport, (or just use shanks pony), as I live in a small town.
However, the next car I buy will be an EV, because once they start becoming popular, the parts for ICE cars will get more expensive.
I hope to be able to use my EV as a battery to power my house as well, (I have solar panels).
I won't be buying a tesla though, my budget doesn't stretch to that, and I have a feeling they are going to end up being not a popular brand in the future. I'm hopeful that the EVs from China will be affordable for people who aren't wealthy.
A car is just transport for me, I don't look at them as some sort of status symbol , or other measure, so I look for affordability, durability, and cost of maintenance, and if it will suit my needs.
Apparently we will see these coming to Australia soon, we certainly need something that isn't so expensive, I expect these will be very popular. I remember when smaller Korean and Japanese, cars became popular in the 90s, because they were affordable.
All I see now is giant 4x4 cars and utes, ugly, huge and expensive to run, Australia has become the dumping ground for these monstrosities.
