I do a lot of driving what can I do it adds up really quickly lots of after work commitments. The problem is the initial range, I like to go places, especially on longer trips on the weekends, and this car would be such a burden on me. I’m not saying the car is a bad idea, or that it wont work, I’m just saying for me specifically, I wont be interested in electric cars until they have a similar range to petrol cars. That’s all.

Well I thinking to park my dual fuel FG ute in the hybrid spots, after all technically, and according to the Macquarie definition of ‘Hybrid’ my car fits the bill!

ohreally…..

Until someone invents a car that can run on happy thoughts alone we are stuck with using some kind of energy. ANY energy produced emits some level of waste…really

Why 30km trips? the car has a range of 160km. 75k Per year is very high and i pitty anyone who has to do this kind of driving. You would be best suited to a series hybrid (PHEV).

But even with 300km+ per day, why would you need 500Km range AND 5 minutes charging??

Remember the idea is there will be charge points everywhere, major carparks, shopping centres, places of work. Surely there are points in the day where you stop for at least an hour in a carpark. Even with your schedule.

“Lazy bones: Your reply is an absolute load of drivel.”

CORRECT!

Betty, it was a joke! No car is going to solve traffic jams. (Maybe the Tango EV might, but that is a big big if!) This is car advice not the town planning office. Go to ebay and start bidding on a sense of humour.

I think you will find, that if someone injured themselves by tripping on your cord attached to your car, you could very well be sued

Buy a Hybrid, you can run it on electricity for your short work commute and run it on petrol for normal driving. What is the cost difference between a hybrid and this? Probably not much, so why pay som uch money for a car that is so limited in its capabilities, when a hybrid gives you the best of both worlds for the same price.

ALthough the GM Volt DOes not have the same charge only range as the LEAF, I think it will be more practical as it can charge on the run using an ICE.

Both cars are beauts though.
