    I planned on buying an EV but after discussing with EV owners I realised below points that set me off and bought an ICE instead.

    Initial Cost:
    EVs often come with a higher upfront cost compared to traditional fuel cars. Purchasing an EV priced above $68,000 may not be economically justifiable, especially when one can find quality ICE car with luxurious features for under $50,000.

    Limited Annual Mileage:
    The justification becomes even stronger if the individual drives less than 10,000 kilometers per year. With a lower annual mileage, the potential savings on fuel costs associated with an EV may not offset the higher initial purchase price.

    Fuel Costs:
    EVs are generally more cost-effective in terms of fuel consumption per kilometer compared to traditional fuel cars. However, if the annual mileage is relatively low, the savings on fuel costs might not be significant enough to bridge the price gap between an expensive EV and a more affordable fuel car.

    Luxury Features:
    The argument also highlights that quality fuel cars under $50,000 can offer comparable luxury features. For individuals who prioritise luxury and are not inclined to drive long distances regularly, opting for a well-equipped ICE car at a lower cost may be a more sensible choice.

    Total Cost of Ownership:
    Considering the total cost of ownership, which includes factors such as depreciation, maintenance, insurance, and fuel, the cost-effectiveness of an EV might be diminished for someone with a low annual mileage, making a quality ICE car a more attractive option.

    It's important to note that the justification is context-specific and depends on individual preferences, driving habits, and regional factors such as government incentives for EVs. I tried to address a scenario where the higher upfront cost of an EV may not be justified based on the individual's usage patterns and the availability of competitively priced, luxurious ICE cars.

      Which ICE crossover can I buy which does 0-100 in 3.7 seconds, has literally zero maintenance costs, does OTA updates, zero running costs and all the torque from get go. Oh and it will be great if it is also the safest car ever tested by Euro NCAP and is a top safety pick in America as well. How about a banging stereo, infotainment system and software that is light years ahead of the anyone else. I am waiting.

      I understand that not everyone has the money to spend on a performance car but at 100k Model Y Performance is a bargain in my opinion.

        • dealsucker on 13/03/2024 - 20:17

      Evs are too expensive for fleets… They depreciate faater than petrol cars

      Who wants to be stuck with an old ev when the battery is worth more than the car?

      • R00D on 09/03/2024 - 20:09

        Teslas actually don't depreciate any faster than the average ICE car, other EVs not so.

          Teslas actually don't depreciate any faster than the average ICE car,

          They haven't been around long enough to measure the long term devaluation. Not everyone buys near new cars. For those who are buying 10, 15, 20 year old cars, I'll put real money on it that they won't be choosing an old EV with terrible range and high potential for battery failure. The same way that no-one is buying a 10+ year-old mobile phone.

  • drazenm on 09/03/2024 - 15:58

    Anyone thinking about the battery? I'd be scared to buy a used car, not knowing how did the previous owner treat it, charging wise and what's the actual health of the battery, what are all the conditions warranty wise regarding the battery, so you successfully fulfil them.

    And if it's transferable…

    Even worse, buying an electric car out of warranty… The price to replace the battery.

    • JIMB0 on 09/03/2024 - 17:05

      No different to buying an old euro car out of warranty and getting caught out with huge repair bills.

            OP didn't say anything like that

            Well since it's all there in black and white let's see:
            OP: "Even worse, buying an electric car out of warranty… The price to replace the battery."
            JIMB0: "No different to buying an old euro car out of warranty and getting caught out with huge repair bills."

            This is the same argument. Older cars that are expensive to repair are much harder to sell on the used car market.

            • dangerdanger on 11/03/2024 - 08:53

              @1st-Amendment: All cars depreciate, so no point saying EV cars depreciate quicker. My last ICE was an expensive euro brand that had to be trashed because of 'catastrophic engine failure'. Talk about depreciation. 😂 Depreciation to $0. Sold off for parts /scrap. That was after their rip-off merchant servicing costs every year.

              They had no words when I asked them if this was expected of a top end luxury car brand… Except to quote me a $45k replacement engine.

              With my EV, I'm already ahead by not spending $45k on that ice engine. No Petrol cost, $0.05/kWh solar cost into the car, cheap servicing ($0 for first 5 years), no brake usage. I drive in the city, don't care about long range. Perfect for me. I'll roll it over in 5 years but if it keeps driving just fine, I'll keep it for longer.

              I won't give the petroleum companies an extra dollar more than I need to. And definitely not that previous Euro car brand.

              I don't fight the non-EV fanatics. Those guys can keep wasting their hard earned money, while I keep saving my money. ☺️ I'll keep driving past the $$petrol bowsers while those guys line up to fill their cars. You do you, I'll do me.

                All cars depreciate, so no point saying EV cars depreciate quicker.

                Of course there is. Some cars DO depreciate quicker than others, which is important if you are interested in TCO.

                No-one can predict the future, but both drazenm and JIMB0 (and myself) seem to agree that EV values will likely drop off a cliff just like Euro cars do after a sufficient period of time. As a comparison, I bought a 15 year-old Honda Jazz a few years ago, and sold it more than I paid for it. That is unlikely to happen with a 15 year old+ EV in much the same way that no-one buys 15 year-old mobile phones. This is very important factor for all those buyers of cheap older cars, of which there are many.

                I won't give the petroleum companies an extra dollar more than I need to

                Lol. Go check the share price of all the major energy companies. They are getting rich out of EV's. Anytime the government decides to funnel taxpayer money to some hare-brained scheme, where do you think that money ends up?

                I don't fight the non-EV fanatics.

                The fanatics are the people who want use other people's money to force everyone to use a powertrain of their choosing because they believe the sky is about to fall. If an EV works for you then great. But why force others to use them if they don't work for them?

                • dangerdanger on 11/03/2024 - 11:18

                  @1st-Amendment:

                  But why force others to use them if they don't work for them?

                  Correct. I'm not forcing anyone. As per your namesake. 😉

                  I'm not a used car purchaser so less important for me. Depreciation I can deal with, depreciation of my previous ICE car to scrap metal is not cool.

                  Petroleum companies are jacking up prices to suit their bottom line. At least I'm not immediately contributing to their profits, or to the profits of the manufacturer of ice cars (which I have limited love for, see above re "catastrophic engine failure $45k etc etc). I'd rather the money in my own pocket.

      • Garcat on 10/03/2024 - 10:05

        But few of these "New energy brands" can make profit.
        Several manufacturers like HiPhi, EverGrand and Weimeister, are already dead. Nobody knows who is the next, Xpeng or Nio?
        Only Li.auto and BYD, 2 brands who can burn gasoline for charging battery, have positive cashflow.
        So most of these low price EV is not a sustainable business, more like a Ponzi scheme for investors, while consumers should take this opportunity when they still can.

          Nio has been bailed out by CCP (provincial government, but amounts to the same thing) on numerous occasions.. there's a lot of political will to prop up the industry which is expected. Having said that, if you look at Tesla and how long it took them to be cash flow positive and the astronomical valuations when they were burning money by the millions it's nothing new for tech growth companies

    I dont have a problem with ev cars they are fantastic vehicles. But i have a problem with people who blindly think they are the perfect solution.

    A lot of people in Australia cant afford to buy any new car let along a ev and when a second hand one drops enough in price the potential battery replacement costs will become a problem a redesign of ease of battery replacement would improve total vehicle life its nearly likebthey have designed ev cars to be short lived.

    If you live in remote areas you dont see lpg only cars same for ev obviously a lot people have no concept of how big Australia is and lacking in infrastructure.

    Transportation needs multiple approaches better cheaper public transportation in regional areas, good infrastructure for ev so ev uptake improves in cities and more populated regional areas, hybrid 4×4/trucks/etc for regional areas to keep the countries food production going.

    Hopefully the real ev enthusiasts in the future can support each (forums etc) to keep these ev cars on the road longer at the moment diy info is very lacking.
