Electric cars are often classed as luxury vehicles due to their price tags, but with cheaper battery-electric models on the way it's time to re-consider the net worth of EVs.
Nadine and Rusty are joined by carsales’ EV expert Toby Hagon to deep-dive into the actual cost of electric car ownership – from manufacturing and general servicing to solar-powered charging and the most expensive considerations of EV ownership that might just surprise you.
If luxury is what you’re after, however, then our podcast news has you covered too, with the announcement of a $1 million vehicle, plus insight into some more affordable options too.
Our meet an EVer, Matt Quinn, tells us about his cost journey from an ICE vehicle to an EV, and the General Manager of Strategy & eMobility at Origin Energy, Chau Le, discusses the intersection between energy and mobility, and what energy providers are doing to help people move towards electric vehicles.
