At the end of the day, people lke to save money so they can spend it on other things. Lots of people embraced LPG cars back in the day despite the conversion cost and reliability issues.
People took up domestic solar in droves in the early days despite it being very expensive.
Australians will spend a dollar to save one.
Considering the wild impact that energy prices are having at the moment, I have no doubt that they will buy evs if they can afford to. Charging your ev off your own solar panels is the ultimate cost saving. Insulating one's self from wild energy price swings because of covid or because some little angry old man in Russia is the ultimate goal.
Especially for those on fixed, low incomes. It is more important to them than anyone else.
