[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 661870, member: 4386"] That is around 40+ litres of petrol cost, so at 10l itres/100 km, it is the same cost as 400 km of petrol driving - and it is for super-fast charge (otherwise cheaper). It is a saving overall based on careful figures that I have seen, but only with regular use not if it sits in the garage. And not as much of a saving as most people think, but a saving. Also there is a second-hand and a reconditioned battery market and they can cost only 15% of that. The issue that I see is that at 10 years you must replace a battery or else you have an unusable an unsaleable car, so it is really payment in advance for km that you may never do in it. I suspect the resale market for EVs may prove awful. But not a big market yet because so few people in Australia have EVS at present. Around 40,000 registered to April 2022 out of something like 22 million registered vehicles - so a tiny percentage (0.02%). But growth is rapid. [/QUOTE]
