    No. I wouldn't buy any electric car. They don't make sense. Put an oil well down using diesel. Then use oil to make diesel. Use up to 400 litres of diesel an hour per machine to mine coal. Burn coal to make electricity. Then charge the car with electricity.
    Why not just use the oil to make petrol in the first place?
    Electric cars are ridiculous.

    I love the way they call these cars affordable most around $60,000 including the nissan leaf, with the way power bills are going not worth it. I also see toyota is going to get slapped with the carbon tax for its hybrids made here and all the imported ones like the honda, nissan and volt don't, so the government gives with one hand it takes with the other.
    Also i would love to see a hybrid or electric car tow a trailer with 5 people on board, i wonder what the carbon out put is when this is the case, ie the gov should be pushing lpg commodores and falcons not useless gutless electric buzz boxs
