- Life - everyone knows that LiFePO4 batteries are lucky to last 8 years. Then you need to buy another $80,000 car. An Isuzu will last 20 years and 300,000 500,000km!
Coal fired power stations can extract better the 95% of the energy potential of the coal.An ICE engine, petrol or diesel, barely can extract 30% of the energy potential of the fuel they burn.4x4 EV are available now but pricey, car companys are pretty focused on city cars for obvious reasons.
My D-Max has just ticked over 10 years and 100,000km and I have ticked over 71 years.I feel I only have another year or 2 of caravaning in me, it is just so much work to pack and unpack and we have been just about everywhere we want to go a couple of times.My thoughts are to sell the rig and trade my wifes car in on a new EV. I don't see us doing many more country trips and only venture out of home to go shopping or visit the kids so charging an EV at home will be about all we need and using our 5kw of solar and charging during the day (setting a time switch for daylight hours means that we are not paying for power to charge the EV.This will likely be our last car so want to make the correct choice a and EV seems a good option to me.
