While ICE addicts tend to heap all EVs together, in EVs there us a mix of: -Hybrids -PHEVs -BEVs
And then in these categories there's a mix of small, medium , large & SUVs.
IMO we're at a crossroads in the overall cost of ownership of a vehicle where the variables are changing/will likely change over the life of the vehicle such as: -purchase price/replacement price -fuel cost (whether fossil or electric) (likely hike in Petrol-Diesel excise) -Rego & Insurance (likely surcharge on rego based on CO2 emissions) -Likely klm levy on EVs to maintain transport infrastructure -Depreciation -Repair/Maintenance -usage (eg: those doing very low kms P/A will have different needs to those doing high kms P/A. -Tax treatment for company vehicles (this accouts for the popularity of Utes at present, IMO, because many Dual Cab Utes are replacing cars because of favourable tax treatment as a commercial vehicle ....just have a look at the dual cab ute as Mom's taxi..)
