Mullighan said EVs were far more expensive than their petrol counterparts, with a Hyundai Kona Elite electric model priced at $54,500 compared with a regular Kona at $26,900.

“Many battery electric vehicles are cost prohibitive, so they are above a price threshold that the fleet would normally pay for other fleet vehicles, but of course as technology improves and volume efficiencies are achieved it is expected price parity will occur sometime in the future,” he said.

Wonder where they got these prices for. It's wild that a Nissan Leaf costs $50k when the Good Car Company sells it for $20-30k.

Isn't good car used car JDM imports?

[–] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, they're used but the price difference between old and new is wild to me. For that price you could get a Camry.

Nothing out of the ordinary though? 6 years old and 100,000km used car vs new? That's just the typical used car pricing.

Its just bizarre to me there are targets like this when there’s no subsidies or incentives for people to buy electric vehicles.

There should also be continued focus on reducing the number of cars on the road. I swear 90% of people commuting into their office jobs only have one person in their five seater cars or monster trucks. I often only drive because I have to carry tools and equipment.

Well this is about government fleet vehicles so there is never going to be inventives or subsides for them unless it is coming federally.

This would require a government that gives a fuck about the future of it's people.

Would love to see the service and fuel costs included. Seems a bit disingenuous to leave them out unless of course it doesn't support the argument.
