                    @Tiggrrrrr: I thought it would be clear they mean it shines in stop start traffic as they efficiently and close to silently operate while putting out negligible pollution. The high torque, but low power is best suited to those situations, not necessarily the 0-100 time, given at most they will be going 60, but typically more like 30-40.

                    The 0-100 time matters for performance. The 110km/h range matters for long distance driving. Neither are that relevant for sitting in traffic.

                The statement that was made was that all other cars are jamming up the traffic.
                The inference being that EV cars are quicker to accelerate.

                Hence my question as to how the example EV posted is shining as the inference to quicker acceleration didnt seem to make sense.

                If you are saying that jamming up the traffic is a reference to pollution then, thats a strange term of reference.

                Those wood fired heaters are really jamming up the traffic. Thats where reverse cycle shines.

          Based on the user feedback from other EVs, in summer the AC won’t drain the battery too fast. It will use an extra 1-2kw to cool the cabin while the car barely uses any electricity when stuck in traffic and has a big 60kwh battery.

          Heating in cold winter could be a problem if the car doesn’t have a heat pump.

        • gavincato on 18/10/2023 - 07:28

        Tell me you have never driven an EV without telling me you have never driven an EV.
        They are damn impressive on highways, for MOST people abiding by rest recommendations, the driver needs to re-charge before the car.

        Why are EVs good on highways.
        - Due to no engine, manufactures have to put a lot more effort into noise reduction
        - Typically higher levels of driver assistance, eg: Tesla's Free Autopilot, active cruise control on your ice car doesn't come close.

        • Kommodore on 17/10/2023 - 22:12

          What do you mean no engine lol it doesn't move by magic, an electric motor is an engine, an engine is something that converts an energy source to mechanical energy.

          The lane assist and radar cruise (the Teslas removed the radars and only has cameras now lol) on my Stinger is great on the highways it will hold the lane and speed and break fine with no input, but I generally dislike these systems and people think it is auto drive when it isn't even on a Tesla. The lane assist system on Kia ICE or EVs are the same systems cameras and radars, nothing to do with it being an EV. Just some companies have better ones.

              • stickyfingers on 17/10/2023 - 22:54

                @Kommodore: First off, you didn’t tell me anything. You were replying to another user.

                In regards to the article you linked, scrolling down the page I can see the “Electric motor” section; is this the one you’re referring to?

                Yes, in technical terms a motor is a form of engine. In everyday terms, however, they are used to refer to two different things.

                It’s all irrelevant semantics at the end of the day. My argument is because you were picking at irreverent specifics in your prior comment because you’re close minded to EVs because you’re a monomaniac for your Stinger 🐝

            • taki on 18/10/2023 - 10:20

              @stickyfingers: MOTORrbike ≠ enginebike?
              Motor is universal word for machine that provides motion/move of the vehicles or other parts.
              Engine is just synonym with regional variation of specific meaning, or in general sofisticated machine/solution (done by engineers which produce all sorts of machines inc. EV)
              Let's not split hairs here.

            @Kommodore: An electric motor is a motor.

            But the point on assistance, the assistance on BYD’s, at least the Atto 3, is very short of inspiring. Don’t take a roundabout in one it’ll freak out on you every time (ask me how I know).

            On the other hand BMW’s and many other cars have systems which are akin to what Tesla has (at least in Australia). Slow to stop and will auto start again in stop start traffic, not just highways. Only issue is some companies decided to have cruise control turn off under 30, which means you’re slamming into the back of a car when it just suddenly decides to turn off.

        • Tiggrrrrr on 18/10/2023 - 00:00

          I've driven an EV down south and back.
          It was an ok drive.
          EVs are a great method of transport.

          At this point of time the cost benefit is not there for me, but maybe in another 5 years that might change.

          Looking forward to the cost of the technology decreasing.

        • Naigrabzo on 20/10/2023 - 14:01

          Come on man. No one wants to wait 30 minutes constantly waiting for it to charge on a long trip. Petrol cars can be driven continuously if you have two drivers.

          Also lane keep is the same on every car these days.

          EVs are good on engine noise but worse on tyre noise. The new M3 is better on noise though. This model has atrocious suspension though. Great for going fast around bends but not good for comfort.

          Each to their own though.

        Well you don't even need to talk about 110km because you won't even get 400km in BYD at 100km. Was the reason why I sold my Atto3. Never calculated it at 110 but 360km would not surprise me.

      OZBargains usually come from OZCompetition rather than OZMonopolies, basic OZEconomics for you

      Everyone around here is obviously easily OZfended

    What’s the bargain though. If it’s RRP, why post in here?

      Cheaper than Tesla? 😉 and less uglyer

    Shame it doesn't come as a station wagon.
    I care MUCH more about how practical a car is than how fast it is, especially in Australia.

    Comes with free butt warmer with each purchase

      I don't think anyone expects the same quality from Chinese stuff. The market has well proven cheaper products with cheaper engineering is acceptable.

      I mean I personally prefer quality, especially in a car accident. But hey.

        say you don't know EV without saying you don't know EV

        • incipient on 17/10/2023 - 21:31

          I dunno. The air bags thing is kinda completely unrelated to it being an EV.

          How to say you didn't follow the link without saying you didn't follow the link 🤣

            @incipient: drew your conclusion from watching a video from a channel called China observer did you? well done.

            • incipient on 17/10/2023 - 21:43

              @wintersnow911: That doesn't make your comment any less wrong lol

              And airbags should never, ever fail. But true, it's not to say that they don't. But still.

              I'm just saying the market isn't really too fussed about lower quality. People prefer price.

      If you have an unbiased source, feel free to share.

      You chose a propaganda channel that exclusively hates on China. A coincidence, I'm sure.

        You chose a propaganda channel that exclusively hates on China. A coincidence, I'm sure.

        Coincidence or not, are the content presented within the video factually incorrect?

        • Composure on 18/10/2023 - 09:14

          That's the question. I'm not about to learn Mandarin to verify, and a look at this channel shows they go out of their way to make up stories about how:
          "CCP's Days Are Numbered"
          "China is done"
          "Do not go to China"
          "China's economy collapse"
          "China is doomed"

          You get the picture.

          Given the short term future owners of these can combust in anger without warning.

          It'll be best to keep my distance.

    this is a good price but RRP is not a ozbargiain DEAL

  • Ethan1031 on 17/10/2023 - 20:50

    This is not a good deal for my life and safety

  • GJT on 17/10/2023 - 20:50

    The deal is not the cheapest available because this is the only price available.
