Chuckle maybe... maybe its a better flavour.. One supposes if we didn't drink
that koolaid we'd either be driving steam cars or pushing horses along...

I don't know if we have a 500E here, but local prices still add about 10-15k
to the ICE version for an eclectic version.

Looks like we do, list price on the E is $AU53k while the ICE version is some
$AU25k from the little I can find online, preliminary search pops up those
prices from cars guide.... tell me thats not a premium...that'd
be a shit ton of solar KW to make up that much in fuel.

On a completely seperate note.. our roads a maintained via fuel excise,
they're starting to get ready to tax EV's to support the same, on a Km rate
of some sort.
