Nick Frederiksen has six electric cars and is waiting on a seventh to arrive from overseas.abc.net.au/news/electric-vehicle-uptake-increase-ev-vs-combustion-engine/102391014Car buyers researching their next ride are weighing up the grunt of a combustion engine utility or the benefits of jumping onto the electric vehicle trend, according to sales data.
The hybrid Toyota RAV4, a middle ground for those waiting for improvements to the EV charging grid and battery storage, sat in third place. "In my mind, it's not a green thing, it's at least for the business side of things, a more capitalistic view and so the numbers make more sense," Mr Frederiksen says.
