Mine is due imminently(next week) but I was one of the lucky ones to get in very early & secure one, wait times are now six months minimum.EV’s need to come down to a more reasonable price to make them more viable to the average Jill & Joe.Re battery life though,that is an interesting one, mine will have a 8 year warranty, think 10 years should be the industry standard though.

Problem for Hybrids is when they roll out the per kms tax, they will get a hit on fuel excise and kms tax. In Vic, they pay 2 cents per km vs 2.5 for EVs. EVs don't have any fuel use. I think that's a bit stiff for Hybrid owners and something other states will adopt in the near future (2027 for NSW for example).
