AEVA had a presence at this annual car show in the north- west of Tasmania. \; Here's a report written by Alan Gregory:
L
uckily the weather at Stanley was quite good for the day. Three electric v
ehicles were present: two Nissan Leafs and a Tesla. While attendance wasn'
t high, the three of us were kept reasonably busy with enquiries.
I h
ad one person who told me that the rare metals in the battery could not be
recycled, supplies were limited, and when they run out, that will be the
end of electric vehicles! After I put him right on that, he became quite i
nterested. A few told me that electric cars can't become popular until the
re are more charging stations: I explained that the normal way of charging
is via a 10A socket at home, then showed them the very useful map of fast
chargers on Clive's bonnet.
After talking with Grant, Clive, Kate, a
nd myself, by far the majority of people were interested in getting an ele
ctric car, and two couples told us that they would definitely be buying el
ectric. One couple actually arranged to book a test drive in Wynyard with
Kate!
Quite a successful and enjoyable day.
