I have been reading about Australia’s Electric car, the Blade Electron. And when might this be available?  I hear you ask, well, right here, right now. In fact, its been available since February 2008.  Given the cost of a charge at $2 for a 100 Km, and the convenience of plug in recharge. I am suprized only 30 or so have been sold. Now the State government and many councils have ordered these cars. The public can buy the second hand models at a reasonable price around $30,000. I consider this a bit dear, but am acutely aware the Battery costs will be falling dramatically in future years.This should cut the cost of a new car by close to $8,000.

Let me detail the advantages, cheap to run, zero emissions, quiet to drive, cheap to service, recharge in 30 minutes and great reliability. The  Blade Electron cars are made locally in Castlemaine, Victoria, as a conversion of the popular lightweight  Hyundai Getz, new cost is $48,000. There are plenty of us waiting for the great range of brand new car models like the GM Volt, the ECC, the Smart car, the Telsa, the Nissan Leaf or Chinas Chery. But for those who like to buy cheaper, second hand, the Blade Electron is now available, at www.bev.com.au/
