Australia’s Electric car when ?

‘I have been reading about Australia’s Electric car, the Blade. 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 $1.50 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.

Let me detail the advantages, cheap to run, Zero emissions, Quiet to drive, cheap to service and great reliability.The cars are made locally in Castlemaine, Victoria, as a conversion of the popular lightweight  Hyundai Getz. 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 Nissan Leaf  or Chinas Chery. But for those who like to buy cheaper second hand, the Blade is now available, at www.bev.com.au/

Eastlink Freeway, Effect on home renovating values

Today, I note the valuation effect of the new Eastlink road  a $3.6 Billion Freeway. It links Frankston to Ringwood via a 39 Kilometre tollway. The State Valuer General  has noted that the outer East and South Eastern suburbs, have jumped by substantially more than the Melbourne average. The quick access to the city has caused values to jump. Even the historically, largely less valuable areas like Pakenham, Berwick, Rye, Toogarook, and Narre Warren have had strong  valuation increases.  Please note Valuers Generals figures are usually about a year out of date, as they take time to be collated and released.

The opening of a new transport link like a freeway can have a compounding favourable effect for 25 years, as exampled by the Westgate bridge, opened in 1977 which opened up the Western suburbs. Traffic on the  Eastlink Tollway has increased strongly over the last six months, with the June figures up 15%  to 169,000 a day. The expectation is for future traffic growth, especially when the new Peninsula freeway is completed and linked to the Eastlink. The Eastlink tollway is still in its inital “ramp up ” phase which will last for atleast and extra year.

Population factors effect on the homes property market.

Recently, as a byproduct of the election campaign, more details of the growth of Australia’s population have been released. Apparently, some major parts of the Immigration numbers have not been counted the 457 Visa for Employment migrants have been ‘rorted “, as so many low skilled jobs, like Hairdressers and chefs have been included, when these groups of people are not required as Highly Skilled migrants. All of the returning expatriate Australians working overseas have not been counted, given there are close to a million Australians working overseas, some 100,000 could easily be returning to Australia. Plus the NZ people who have easy access, and are not counted as immigrants. Numbers of people on Temporary protection visas are not counted : same with overstayers and tourists overstayers. This is apparently a hot political election issue. The student numbers are the area I like, they would make a cat laugh. As numbers have tripled in the last six years to reach 400,000. The most popular courses are English, cooking and Hospitality.

More Ideas for the Electric Cars

The Nissan Leaf is Coming

While the first car available the Mitsubishi Imiev is due this year and the Nissan Leaf next year.

For many people the short driving range of 160 Km  is a considered a problem. Apparently this will be dealt with, by battery changing stations, you wont have to recharge over six hours, just swap your batteries.

The RACV is working with Better Place the battery charging company.  Expectations are high with China expected to be making  a million cars bt 2012  the BYD car company could  be the worlds largest by production volume within five years. The roll out of Battery Change stations is to begin in California,  next is Canberra, no doubt to attract the attention of Politicians.

Implications for home renovators include the car culture will continue, one wont have to restrict  your property choice to  “easy public transport access”.
