Look to China and see the market penetration of EVs there, and the infrastructure that exists to support them.

The early adopter phase is over from a global point of view.

Australia lags as it always has, but it will follow the global trend here.

Toyota RAV4s are a great car.

I recently bought an EV to replace an ICE that has reached the point in its life where repairing parts is costing an extra thousand dollars a year.

I in no way advocate replacing perfectly fine running vehicles with new cars. That is wasteful.

Do u believe the energy providers will allow u to get away that in the future?

Its just a transitional re-educational phase like for the free ATM usage in the past.

They will expect to have in the future a unique fee for changing EV’s!
