    IMO the opinion leaders on EVs are petrol heads from the
    USA and their followers down here.

    The import tariffs on Chinese EV in the EZ & the USA
    will likely mean very cheap Chinese EVs in Aus later
    this year and once the smaller EVs drop in price similar
    to the upmarket ICE brands (eg: Toyota Yaris/Corolla)
    then we'll likely see action.

    National Auctions have a fair sprinkling of Toyota Hybrids
    on offer , usually 2020-2021, which looks like ex Gov/ex major fleets.

    It will be interesting to see if these cars will be replaced by
    further HEVs , PHEVs or BEVs?

    IMO Gov & fleet new car sales lead the trend simply because
    they have the computerised "cost of ownership" programs
    and of course Government purchases are not skewed by
    tax concessions.
