From within our own region. Loved the response from the ute-driving moron in Rockley. We worship the ute-driving moron, by all buying gutless utes we don’t need that handle like tractors on the road, and guzzle fuel. How much does stupid cost? About $2/litre right now. “The car itself is a joy to drive – smooth, silent and thrillingly quick – plus it’s fitted with a multitude of sensors, cameras and gadgetry that ease the pain of navigation, traffic and parking. Most surprising is that it’s fun – the battery pack gives it a low centre of gravity so it feels like a go-kart on all those wiggly country roads. …it’s hard to argue with the facts…this 1100-kilometre, week-long trip has been a breeze. Regional NSW has an ever-growing network of chargers that are easy to find, intuitive to use and, in many cases, free. In a comparable petrol engine SUV, this trip would have cost about $180 in fuel. In the EV, it was $36.34.”
