    Stating the obvious but $5.95 per ticket fee is not free.

      Must be run by the cinemas/ticketmaster.

    • Headless on 31/05/2025 - 09:30

      I wonder if there is a booking fee for buying a free ticket on the day?

    I'll take 100,000 back to back test drives in an e-tron GT then, thanks.

    • M00Cow on 29/05/2025 - 16:41

    oh its that why Elon stood down from DOGE, so he could attend.

    Not much demand for an EV for most enthusiasts I think

    • tonyjzx on 29/05/2025 - 16:55
      +6

      i consider myself and 'enthusiast' and i think its a waste of time and money running just about any petrol or diesel car in urban areas

      however we are a two car family so an EV and a petrol car suits us fine

      as a technology person i find new EVs and new battery technology interesting

      but back to OP… the last EV show in syd was free…

      Of course there is. Some enthusiasts like fast, techy new things and EVs are great at that. Obviously not a lot of classic car enthusiasts in to EVs yet.

    unlimited 30 minute test drives for 3 days from 10am-4pm = 36 slots per vehicle

    • Yes I know it's open 9-5 but I stand by the times I gave
  • bargainatoraah on 29/05/2025 - 17:19

    Would love to see a Slate Truck but I think it's still early stages. I love the idea of a no-frills car.

      Id buy one tomorrow!

    Regardless of whether these cars are good, Australia just isn't set up with the charger network across the country to roam anywhere. It's a huge asterisk, whereas a petrol/diesel can go literally anywhere in Australia

    • Nom on 29/05/2025 - 20:07

      Right, but this isn't an issue for most Australians who live in cities, and travel long distances by driving to their nearest airport.

      If you're in the minority of drivers that "cross the country to roam anywhere" in their car, then quite obviously you should be sticking with a combustion engine.

      • xavierod on 30/05/2025 - 00:29

        What about travel within each state? No one is flying for that and hardly the minority you think.
        What about queuing long times for the minimal chargers in the outer suburbs?
        Huge depreciation..poor support network, list goes on and on.
        The pros don't outweigh the many many cons IMO inc $6 cost per 'free' ticket to this show.

        • Nom on 30/05/2025 - 14:49
          +1

          What about any of those things ?

          If an EV won't work in your circumstances, then again you should be sticking with a combustion engine. Buy the cars that do the jobs you need them to do.

          I use an EV purely for my work commute, and it's absolutely perfect at that job. I would never go back to driving a petrol car to work.
          I've never had to queue to charge it in my garage, it's depreciated $0 because I haven't sold it, and it's quite happy patiently waiting in my garage when I need to use my Petrol car to drive long distance.

          Do you also join the family-SUV threads and complain that they aren't very good at being Utes - they can't carry your plumbing gear to your work sites, or tow your boat ?

            @Nom: Couldn't you buy a $10k second hand car for the commute and pocket the 50k difference? Saves the environment not manufacturing all that extra?

  • Ant234 on 29/05/2025 - 22:06

    40k people went through Melbourne motor show where it was just an EV show… they wont able to get anyone to pay $40 for the same thing!!!

    I was so disappointed of the Melbourne motor show, as i had great memories going as a kid previously…

    • Headless on 31/05/2025 - 09:27

      Most shows in Australia are quite poor or lacklustre compared to days gone by, its overseas where the real shows are at

  • mysterytal on 31/05/2025 - 10:38

    I only do about 5,000km per year. I know they're ideal for city commuting but the additional cost of them plus home modifications to install charging infrastructure is more than the cost of just paying for petrol in the first place even at $2 per litre and free electricity from solar energy.

    • Aureus on 31/05/2025 - 17:13

      At 5000km a year it makes sense to keep driving your car until it is unreliable, then replace it with a EV, either new or a cheap lightly used one.

      You don't need any home modifications, just use the portable charger that (hopefully) comes with the car.

      • mysterytal on 31/05/2025 - 17:29

        Do you mean the 10 Amp charging cable? I'm sure that won't take too long to charge it every day. It also isn't solar compatible using electricity whether there's solar or not.

        • Aureus on 31/05/2025 - 17:38

          Yeah. With low KM you could just charge only on the weekend during the day and be fine. You would need just over 8 hours of charging on average per week using a 10 amp charger.

          Some days it may be cloudy and you have to use power from the grid, but it would still be much cheaper then petrol.

          • mysterytal on 01/06/2025 - 01:58

            @Aureus: If 5,000 km only needs 8 hours per week then 35,000 km would only need 8 hours per night which can be done every night of the week without any additional charging infrastructure. Wonder why charging infrastructure is being considered when a 10 Amp portable charging cable will be just fine.

            • Nom on 01/06/2025 - 12:57
              +1

              @mysterytal: Exactly - the basic 10Amp portable charging cable is absolutely fine for many use cases.
              You'll find that most of the "problems" with EVs turn out to be nonexistent.
