I know why these really good electric cars.. is Because the Oil Companys will do everything in there power to stop it.. electric cars.. no oil no money
@ torment3d... Did holden or ford send you your contribution to the bailouts we gave there dinosaur industry? I would rather have given money to subsidize entrepreneurs like this who are moving into the future than saving bigauto who will no doubt be looking for more handouts when the SHTF again. Government looking after bigautos short term profits at the expence of my childrens future wealth. But hey, they can just buy chinese EV's, just like yanks buying fuel efficient Jap cars in the 70's.
@johnTconover I agree with you, but you're thinking about the companies, not the individuals. It is possible to provide market incentives without hurting the market too much. A slow but controlled change is necessary, not a bandaid twitch scenario :)
@torment3d... Well to be honest mate, I do not believe offering discount registration and tax benefits for the purchase of home grown EV's is exactly market shaking... It is a controlled and progressive solution that will create more jobs than it destroys... Again, Gov rescently gave tax incentives for business owners to purchase new vehicles, my mate purchased a new 6.0 holden ute that he only drives on the weekend... Is that not destroying future job opportunities in a "controlled" way...
Nice work. Most Australian familys own two cars and an pure electric vehicle would cover many Australians work, school or grocery comute. WHEN IS RUDD GOING TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT HIS WAR ON CARBON??? If electric vehicles such as these were eg. $100/year registration costs, zero stamp duty + carbon tax return benefits everyone would want to own one and keep the falcon or commodore for long hauls. But lets face it, government is only interested in increasing tax revenue.
@johnTconover You need to realize that governments affecting markets such as you described hurts a lot of people. If everyone flocked to electric cars, there would be quite a few industries that hurt, and this hurts the people that work for them. It is better that the market defines what people want, not the government.
Yes actually I do realize that. But the energy crisis that the world now faces now trumps "free" market supply and demand forces. I for one do not give a flying f**k if holdens sales fall. They are building V8s while the world rushes head long into depression. Kinda like GM after the first oil crisis!!! If the US mandated efficiency standards, Detroit would be alive today. And anyhow, creating benefits for switching to cleaner tech CREATES NEW JOBS AND DESTROYS UNPRODUCTIVE ONES.
electric cars are going to be the way. to all the misinformed, do some research so you know facts not unbacked opions. some electric cars do look dodgy but they will get better, they are fast off the line, ongoing costs will be minium, think but 100 years about those that baged out the cars because they thought their horses were better. we all have to move with the times

I don't see electric cars taking over from petrol and diesel cars! The problem is that you firstly have to burn fuel to make electric!
Why not buy a a diesel 1.4 VW polo bluemotion which does 75 mpg! Great looking car, not to bad to the environment + people can hear you coming so they won't step out in front of you! Problem with hybrid and electric cars is that they are just too quiet!
Firstly you don't have to burn any fossil fuels at all, you can use nuclear, solar, wind, hydro etc. your possibilities are limitless. Secondly even if you do get your electricity from fossil fuels it still produces FAR LESS emissions due to the >90% efficiency electric motor compared to a combustion engines' 15% or so efficiency (most energy is lost to waste heat).
Nuclear! - What do you do with the waste! It takes hundreds of years to become safe to handle! It has the possibility of harming the environment if not treated correctly.
Solar Where I live we are luck to get a few days of sunshine a year!
Wind The amount of turbines needed to develop a genuine quantity of electricity is unrealistic
Hydro untested and expensive!
I would love to drive a car that produces no emissions and is environmentally friendly, but there must be a better way!
If a dumb fuck crosses a road without looking then good riddence to them. I have no sympathy for fools without any self preservation. You cant even hear some of the engines in modern efficient cars anyway - derr
@8jbird Oil companies pressure spineless politicians to can every form of alternative fuel for cars. They also bribe politicians with big sums of money so that delay and find any excuse not to support electric cars.

This car is identical to the Blade EV and he's sings the same tune looking for Government hand outs.
A 2nd hand imported chassis with some imported EV components and batteries bolted in. Exactly what is the local IP content?
If the Ev conversions are viable, then just start production.... no tooling is required as nothing is being manufactured locally.

@qwizzer78 that's bullshit. Electric cars will work excellently within cities. Outside cities, probably not so much.
