A child got by my small long range EV would be more likely to survive than one hit by a similar weight internal combustion vehicle as mine is a car (with proper pedestrian safety) and the other would be much higher and larger.

A child still cares that the front of the vehicle is low, that it doesn't have a bull bar. A kid would be better off hit by an electric car than by a landcruiser

A 2t EV is much smaller than a 2t diesel

No I'm not. I'd take a bus or train if I were going interstate.

I don't think there are chargers close enough together across the Nullarbor. Darwin is also hard

I'm on a visit to the wine region around Adelaide, and am staying in Willunga. The trips I'm doing need a car, and the timing would be similar and the cost higher if I had flown to Adelaide and hired a car for the month

And I couldn't have seen the painted silos had I flown

And I couldn't have seen the sights of the great ocean road had I flown

And road trips in an EV are quite nice.

You can make good savings by not having a car at all, but that's not possible outside Sydney and Melbourne and probably Hobart
