- howlgarnish 6y agoIt's hard to justify $47k for the Zoe when you can get a similarly sized Honda Jazz or Mazda 2 for well under $20k.
- rsynnott 6y agoOdd; it's one of the most popular in the EU. Though electric car sales in Australia in general seem to be very low.
- sfblah 6y agoMaybe it's the relatively long distances in Australia? I don't live there so maybe I'm totally wrong.
- lucb1e 6y agoAnd don't forget the American culture of owning huge fuel wasters and being proud of their expensive purchase. Long distances in countries like Australia and the USA sound like legitimate reasons for ICE vehicles, but the more cynical side of me assumes that USA culture leaking into Australia is at least equally likely.
