    The average life of a car in Aus is 12 years and that is shortening
    due to the excessive costs of parts, repairs and maintenance
    and the ever cost of fuel consumption. Add to that the market
    traction being gained by Chinese makes that don't feature
    durability in their design parameters.

    I had my car serviced yesterday and I asked the mechanics what
    they thought of Chinese cars and the answer was..."shite"

    So when we buy a car now we can reasonable expect that
    in 12 years its worth $200 (wrecking value)

    So on average, that's about 8% depreciation P/A + operating costs of ownership.

    So what have we got now in terms of EV trend:

    about 10% EVs and 10% Hybrids and growing.

    Here is a chart of the EVs (minus hybrids)
