Surely one would take MR B's advice and invest that 100 grand in a retirement fund?

I see a lot of references comparing evs to the higher end vehicles. Compare their prices to ordinary cars, which the majority buy.
here are some good links & info for those interested:
current models - https://driveelectric.org.nz/individ...-where-to-buy/
2021/2022 models coming - https://www.caranddriver.com/news/g2...c-cars-trucks/
global EV outlook - https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2020
stages of technology adaption (we are probably still in the 1st stage.... but think about the speed & uptake of recent revolutions like the mobile phone or computers) - https://ondigitalmarketing.com/learn...logy-adoption/
climate change protests - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/20/c...te-strike.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septem...limate_strikes (....give it a few years and many of these students/young people will be doctors/lawyers/accountants/CEOs etc and be a financial position to purchase environmentally friendly cars)
EVs well supported by energy companies with low charge rates (although, no reason why you cant put your own solar on your roof! https://www.solarcity.co.nz/solarzero) https://www.meridianenergy.co.nz/you...ctric-car-plan
VW & Audi planning more EVs - https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/14/vw-t...0-new-evs.html
Tesla dropped its Model 3 price this week by ~$5k https://www.tesla.com/model3 and have plans for a two million mile battery (I'm pretty keen on the AWD performance model 0-100 in 3.3secs)
so basically, when everyone charges their cars at home overnight (on cheap rates, using renewable energy https://ecotricity.co.nz/electricvehicles/), at the supermarket, at the mall or at a fast charging station at the side of the road - all ZEL is going to be left with is a bunch of corner stores scattered around the country (that will supply a bit of gasoline to a couple of old timers driving classic cars). death by a thousand cuts is coming. the question is - how long it will take. I am of the opinion it is only ~5-10 years away.
Beagle, you should put your name down for one of those new BMWi4s...
Thanks for the links @Filthy
You're clean and green!
I sold out of ZEL and am heavily invested in the electricity generators
looks like the down ramping brigade have had little success pushing the price down this morning. they might need to go for a drive in there big cars smell the roses and realise z needs a bounce in price to reflect not so bad environment now
200k changed hands @ 3.02
Would suggest ZEL dodged a bullet with another community outbreak not coming to fruition from the port worker. Auckland going back into Level 3 stalled momentum last time it started rising.
Hopefully the upward trajectory can continue, although may have to wait till after the US election.
Someone mention an update was due in November, what’s people’s thoughts on the possibility of a divi being reinstated next year?
