Hi EV brains trust

I’m new to EV and need your help deciding whether to go for a second hand (about 30k km on the clock) Tesla Model Y or a new Geely EX5 both on a novated lease for 5 years to be used as the everyday family car. The balloon payment for both is about the same.

I’m limited to the second hand Tesla Model Y because of budget, but I really like the driving experience in a Model Y, the newer self driving technology and the bigger boot space. The Geely EX5 seems like a good car and is the more responsible decision given it is new and will be covered by various warranties.

Is there anything else I’m not considering that I should think about when deciding which to get?

WA has 489 EVs per charger compared to 113 in NSW.

WA needs at Least 350 additional chargers to catch up.

Where is the plan? China will rollout over 1000… today!

Spotted a RHD what looks to be a Xpeng G9? (headlights don’t look like the photos so might be a different model) test car in camo at Docklands.

Interior was all covered up but exterior looks to be around BMW X7 sized.

Hi all,

long story short, drive an MG4 51 (350km range) 0-100 in 7.7s. it's fast, snappy and reliable.

The wife's ASX is now dead after 310,000 and she wants the MG4..Which is fine by me.

but I'm wondering if I should buy a used 2024 Model 3 RWD? is the LR RWD that much better?

we have a young kid and whilst the model Y could be better suited, the Model 3 will be significantly bigger than the MG4 already.

I want to feel a bit of push back in the seat, will the model 3 offer that? figures say 6.1s 0-100.

Range Im sure will be significantly better than my current MG4 regardless of model.

appreciate feedback!

Hi All,

Trying to find an EV charger for my apartment block to install in the visitor parking area. We have plenty of power and parking spots.

How do we charge each user for the power that they use? My preference would be an RFID or similar that charges the user and then pays the money to the Strata. Google isn't helping me find chargers that can do this, any recommendations?

Thanks for your help.

I can't decide which one I want - please help me decide!

There are some good deals on at the moment, and I can get the Sealion 7 (Premium) and Hyundai Kona Electric Premium for nearly the same price. Usually the Kona Electric Premium is approx $66k, but with discounts I can get it for about $56k - a similar price to the Sealion 7. There is a $2.5k cash back offer at the moment with the Sealion 7.

I've taken both for a test drive and enjoyed both, but I'm not sure about the bigger size with the Sealion. Will be a tight squeeze in my garage.

The Kona Premium has leather seats, heated and ventilated seats, 360 degree camera, Bose sound system, heads up display - all standard features on the Sealion 7.

Please help 🙏 And provide any experiences or views that you think are relevant.

Thank you!
