Cars, most of recent vintage (including BMWs and Mercedes) compete with busses (some electric) and trucks, as well as innumerable scooters, and bikes in crazy disrespect for both the modern traffic control systems and pedestrians negotiating their way amidst the traffic. Down at street level, boulevards and alleys are stuffed to the gills.

A family of brutal 4x4s including a Toyota LandCruiser rival along with a radical supercar have been added to Chinese electrified mega-brand BYD’s rapidly expanding new vehicle armoury and are wanted in Australia.

I predict we won’t see new platforms of this type after 2030, perhaps barring bespoke hypercars and specialty track-only toys — I’m ready to sign the category’s death warrant now (signed: previous owner of two Mazda Miatas, a Veloster N, a VW GTI, and a Mercedes SL55 AMG). The Emeya is Lotus’ forthcoming super-GT sedan. I’m not anymore.

Throw in one of the best sound systems of any new car – that includes Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz, etc – and you have a tempting package that plays in the EV sweet spot. You know, source cost-effective Chinese vehicles, then on-sell them at a mega-premium to a handful of comparatively cashed-up Aussies.

Why hes banking on an obscure Chinese electric car company and a CEO who - no joke - drinks his own battery fluid. The E6 will hit the Chinese market later this year.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities.

In a first drive of Mercedes’ electric G-wagen , we found it to be a better, more precise off-roader than the gasoline model—outshining the combustion versions even before the EV’s party-trick zenith called G-Turn.
