I t’s 78% of the size of the US but only has 7% of the population. It’s f-ing desolate. Best of luck finding a charging station, haha.

no wonder when the Nissan Leaf cost nearly 70k brand new. And that was one of the cheaper ones.

I would have said “hardly any”.

Seems I’m right.

Most of the people live in the suburbs though so most of the population has at least some chance of being near a station, provided they don’t get the urge to drive from Sydney to P erth or something.

We are roughly half way between Melbourne and BrisVegas on the truck route....charging station?

In the end, Kia Picanto is $15,000 with a 7 year warranty. And a Kia Niro EV is one size up and around $40,000 with much the same warranty. So why would I do that?

They have higher standards there. They held on to Ute’s for ever.

When you need automotive guidance on how to see past the temporar y fashions and understand what is really important look down under.
