Hi All. Have just return from a holiday to Shanghai China. WOW...First ever ride an a BYD (SUV) electric car. It is so much better than a normal SUV..... Bring on electric vehicles in Australia. Cost saving are 1/10Th of a diesel car. SO if you diesel car cost you $100 to fill up , it would only cost you $10 worth of electricity to recharge. WOW what a saving.
Also in china you need to purchase a number plate which costs up to $20,000 US dollaors before you can purchase a car. But if you purchase a new electric vehicle they are free. No need to purchase the number plate. WOW .
Just some very interesting facts about the Chinese car industries.
Watch out Australia we will be the last inline. We need to get onboard and learn from china.

The question must always be asked. Where is all the power coming from to provide enough electricity to charge the batteries? Wind? Hydro? Nuclear? Solar?======Or Coal?
