Battery powered EVs with decent range won't be cheap or viable this side of 2050 unless battery technology makes a huge leap, which I doubt.

Batteries have hardly changed over the past 100 years and EVs predate internal combustion engines and they still suck.

You know what they say, the good die young so you'll just have to worry about Cav getting about in the Chinese EV in 2063

We're a good 30 years off at minimum getting an EV Kia Picanto with a 500km range for $18K DA

It'll stay the realm of cashed up electric Jesus cultists who live in Melbourne or Sydney - the internal combustion engine isn't going anywhere for the common man like us.
