With some great deals going down in Australia, it is possible to get two EVs for the price of one while swapping from a Miev.
Recently at a Coffee, Cake and EVs morning, a friend told me how he had just bought a Great Wall ORA Cat for only AU$30,000! That’s cheaper than a petrol Corolla! Mind you, the AU$6,000 government rebate helped. Thefor $46,000 as the cheapest EV available in Australia. Now it is even cheaper. So he bought two and gave one to his son, to replace an aging Mitsubishi Minicab MiEV. Quite a story.
Then the son contacted me and told me the full story. I hope you enjoy the read. The following is from Thomas Wyndham, with slight modification. The dealership specialised in imported cars from Japan, including a number of Mitsubishi Minicab MiEVs; tiny, boxy, Kei vans that give the impression that someone cut out some window holes in a shoebox and stuck some office chair wheels on it. Underneath the van body was the same drivetrain of the i-MiEV hatchback that Mitsubishi used to make. I went for a test drive and was rather impressed.
Fortunately, Graeme, of Oz-DIY Electric, was just about to start his battery upgrade trade for these old Mitsubishis. For the same money, he could supply and install a new battery pack with about double the capacity, with $3,000 back for selling on my old battery pack. I thought maybe it would be used in stationary storage or something similar, but he told me military target practice drones.
