I wasn’t aware it was poisonous, I had always been told it was venomous.

No. That would be your comprehension skills. The point is he drove 13,000km in 10 days, so much for range anxiety… His comments that you quoted were in relation to doing the same trip quicker than 10 days.

If I had the infrastructure I’d be doing the same.

Recently upgraded my mobi and it was a bit of a pain in the arsk. One banks settings (transfer limits, notifications Face ID etc) all reset themselves to NOT what I wanted, the other kept them but the registration of the new device was painful. I understand that they detect that I’m logging in on a new device and want to verify that I’m me, but they should be doing that without deleting all my settings and preferences.

Here in rural Darwin our power supply is fairly dodgy by western standards. A couple of times each wet season we’ll lose power for an hour or two, after a cyclone 5 years ago it was out for 3 days in my neighborhood and a mate was in the dark for a week.

That’s when the ev hobgoblins come out… 😱

Annoying but you might need to make a trip back home.

Firstly, I think a key component of owning an ev at present is having access to solar power, it massively tilts the economics and practicality in your favor. Secondly, read this very short very recent story about range https://thedriven.io/2023/12/15/record-broken-as-ev-enthusiast-rocks-around-australia-in-just-10-days/amp/?fbclid=IwAR3rh7VQ9tu9hRtdLZByZSxv7XN5Q5QLdNwJABfYKeVYUaXeL6Wt1I7BZT8_aem_AZsr3qVzvJenwiaGIqgGlOdTeFocJRkMjg4L_p8sf69ZjxrbhUXMay6pKYFUBRHRiaY

Don’t forget to check under your bed tonight, dirty commies are everywhere…

You seem to think that the ev drivers don’t have that ICE driving experience… Heres one for you, the ev drivers have shared your ICE driving experience and concluded that for them ev are superior…

Man, you’ve got a haystack bigger than Texas, which isn’t really that impressive… For the record: ”Well, just how big is the NT? The Northern Territory has a total area of 1,349,129 km2 which accounts for around 17.5 percent of Australia's total landmass. Let's put that in perspective. North America; Texas USA will fit into NT twice.” Northern Territory is my home.

lol. You think the posters in this thread are 22 year olds ? 🤣🤣🤣 Fresh out of high school into an ev, never having had the range anxiety of watching the petrol fuel gauge sink when they’re still 50km from the next town ? How old do you think we are pops ?

And you don’t think they would’ve thought of checking such critical infrastructure as an ev battery… 🙄 Just give it a rest. If the ev’s battery doesn’t self diagnose a critical incident already, then it won’t be long before they do, I agree with you that battery protection is important but let’s keep it real huh ?

Is a visa/mastercard debit card an option ? Maintain a low balance (in case of fraud)and top up as required. Or are you thinking more a PayPal type of account ?

Yeah, I get that. But we are (mostly) all closer to the end than the beginning… The ev market is currently young and still developing but bear in mind that we have only had ICE vehicles for what, 140 years ? The level of ICE infrastructure today is enormous compared to even only 50 years ago.

That’s not really pertinent to the rest of us… 😎🤣

If that’s a serious question then you really do need to step away from any and all ev threads. Go somewhere and spend 10 minutes reading about what and how these vehicles work and what can be done.

What a daft comment. Give it 10 years and the second hand market will be more mature and you’ll have a selection of second hand evs

RANGE ANXIETY !! RANGE ANXIETY !! https://thedriven.io/2023/12/15/record-broken-as-ev-enthusiast-rocks-around-australia-in-just-10-days/amp/?fbclid=IwAR3rh7VQ9tu9hRtdLZByZSxv7XN5Q5QLdNwJABfYKeVYUaXeL6Wt1I7BZT8_aem_AZsr3qVzvJenwiaGIqgGlOdTeFocJRkMjg4L_p8sf69ZjxrbhUXMay6pKYFUBRHRiaY Umm, what’s range anxiety ?

It’s amazing the lengths people will go to in order to make an argument that suits whatever their agenda is. Often that agenda is the status quo which in their eyes is some sort of Nirvana…

Let me know when, I love toasted marshmallows… 👍🏼

Is it ol mate from this place who was asking about living in his tent on one of the smaller Thai islands ?

With friends like your mutt, who needs a Thai wife ??

She obviously wasn’t hot …
