That’s the top of the range MG4…
Its important to buy a Chery......
Because they sponsor StKilda.

No they don’t. MG4 starts at $32k for the Excite
The $60 000 MG is a fast electric car, like an E-Mustang.
Its not a luxury car, so i think you missed the point why i mentioned Mercedes in the first place.
A Dodge Ram is also not a luxury car, nor is a Toyota Land Cruiser.
Despite the price tag.

No, you'll run into the car in front of you, and it'll take ages for the cops and tow trucks to clear it all up, and for your Uber to arrive.

There aren't many actual "cheap" cars left.
You can get some tiny thing for around $20-25 .
They prefer to jack them up a bit higher and call them an SUV, and throw 5-10K onto the price.
( Mazda 2 vs Mazda CX3 the most blatant example ).
Pretty sure you don't get better build quality along with your bigger electric motors.

I personally think an Mg4 excite 51 is a lot cheaper than a petrol car for the same price.. running costs are a lot cheaper… 40,000km for the first service and even charging from the grid you’ll save thousands in petrol costs.

Footpath charging is being rolled out.. every power pole is a potential charging station.
Some teething issues but it’s promising.
The UK are planning to have 300 000 by 2030.
Australia is planning ??????????
( that is a trial ).
Personally i think power cords all over the footpath is just an awful solution, real 3rd world stuff.
Oldies with walking frames aren't going to like it either, and as soon as someone trips over one, whoever signed it off will get sued.
At least the UK ones are not across the footpath.
Can people stop spending money on crap they don't need? Do us all a favour and help inflation come down.
The car landscape has really changed in the last 20 years. Manuals have gone the way of the dodo, and even sedans are dying out. The 'default' family car these days is an SUV - the Commodore or Falcon of 2024.
I've driven an MG SUV as a hire car and it was clearly a piece of crap. I've heard stories from MG owners that they become unreliable rather quickly - not a surprise.
But these cheap Chinese manufacturers are doing something good - they are getting the European manufacturers to pull their fingers out regarding electrification. There's no going back. We must learn to live with EVs. The COALition can be in denial all it likes.
It may not look pretty, but in the long term footpath charging may be the only solution. Drive or walk down any suburban street in Australia and numerous second and third cars in the family don't get a spot in the garage. In densely-populated Europe, it's even worse.
That said, the non-garaged cars in the family are usually the older, cheaper ones so it'll be a while before the car of the kid who lives at home is an EV.

It’s funny that one of the criticisms of EVs is that they depreciate so quickly?? I’m always asking where are all these cheap EVs are?
Norway are trailing charging lanes for busses using induction charging.
