I didn't know there was an Outlander PHEV available...cool The Model 3 will be our shopping/runabout...slotted for an early October delivery.

We were in Norway recently, the uptake of EV's there was phenomenal. Most public car parks had charging stations. The government there gives tax incentives to buy an EV, free parking, toll road waivers and free registration.

In Oz you get zero incentives, plus get slugged a luxury car tax....to protect our non-existent local industry Shameful really.

With a 600km range the Model 3 should not need charging more than once a week.

A single phase charger will charge it from flat to full overnight...
