If it rains you have to go faster, you have to tailgate, and not understand what stop signs mean. That's just some of their faults. And don't start me on roundabouts.

Interesting about the rego, Connie. Obviously it doesn't include the 3rd party insurance so the savings are reduced quite a bit, but still an incentive. Then of course are the rumblings from the insurance councils about the dangers that charging EV's within the confines of a house or apartment buildings which usually herald the introduction of surcharges, exclusion clauses and other such mitigating escapes. As for the drivers in the ACT, it seems quite a few are in Cairns. As are Victorians, Sandgropers, NS Welshpersons and one particular Landcruiser-driving maniac from Van Diemen's Land. All have the same idea about winning the daily road race as do our locals. I've actually thought about buying a Ferret Armoured Car, but the accessabillity bit is holding me back.

CJ, have you thought about a Hummer or Bushmaster. You will always have "right of way"!!

I forgot about the Stamp Duty ACT EV Stamp Duty Exemption From 24 May 2021, EVs purchased in the ACT may be eligible for full stamp duty exemption and two years of free registration. Unlike NSW, there is no limit on the value of the vehicle, meaning the stamp duty waiver is uncapped.

Cleaning out some old animated .gifs I'd created over time... ...thought this one had some points were worth pondering again...

At this time the major rumblings on electric vehicle charging in "confined" spaces appears to be centred on E bikes and E scooters (noting they can be carried up into apartments). I find it funny that they put an "EV" sticker on the number plate. No sticker for petrol or diesel, LPG was added as it was possible to have an LPG tank in a former petrol engined vehicle (even though they had a safety valve/burst disc fitted to the LPG tanks, there was still a very real potential of a BLEVE). Nothing worse for firefighters to be in close fitting a fuel fire only to have a monumental explosion occur. Then there is the violent reaction of L-ion batteries and the current firefighting effort to drown the batteries in water, finding now that attempting to drown L-metal batteries in water is a whole new (really violent reaction) ball game.
