    You must pay a lot for electricity. More like $1.50.


    And, no. Why would I do that?

    Just curious on the amortization costs and yes 27c is about my rate, but actually should use a higher figure to include the fixed daily charges which are the largest part of the bill.

    I pay 16.9c

    I'm not curious about amortisation costs. Whom cares?

    The fixed daily charge is fixed, so why would you include that?

    The i3 averages about 12-13kwh/100km BTW..... Still ridiculously cheap to run.

    Don't know amortisation costs for that either lol

    because the fixed charges are actually the largest part of the electricity bill!i Actually just checked last bill and kW/h rate is only 19.27 but jumps to 34.59c when you take the whole bill into account. And yes, still amazingly inexpensive...

    But it's a fixed cost. Irrelevant. Regardless of how much or little I use the car/bike , I'm paying the daily charge.

    The variable cost is all that matters. You should know that.

    Hmm, I’m always interested in overall figures; just curiosity mainly.

    But it's fixed!

    Never mind.

    And incidentally, I would imagine the amortisation costs are the same as all vehicles. Worth ignoring lol

    Well actually I thought perhaps the lifetime costs of EV may be lower due to reduced maintenance /replacement parts etc, especially if disposed of before batteries need replacing. eg Prius seem to retain value amazing well (lasttime I looked, which was a while ago).

    It’s definitely the A45s engine.

    Deliberately tuned the way it is to position as the entry level variant.
    Down the track, though, this will probably be the one to have as easily tuned to 450hp+ and with the better (DCT) gearbox, as well as being re 30kg lighter.

    Terrific 1 3/4 days in the saddle to Proserpine to pickup the busted Morgan.:(

    Speeding fine in Ingham so will lose my remaining 2 points +1 more.

    Crappy roadworks all the way from Ingham to 30klm north of Proserpine.

    Dunno if I'll be doing any GAD or GG now,will depend on getting a work license.

    Welcome to 2022 FFS!

    Bummer mate, you can go onto a a 12 month Good Behaviour licence, just can't get booked at all in that 12 months or you loose it for double the normal suspension period for reaching the 13 points.
