Will they now buy the likes of a BYD EV -- not bloody likely now the subsidy is ended be interesting to see effect on sales for first quarter next year .By all accounts the sales of EVs will be huge for December with people buying to beat the end of the CCD, and the sales of high emission vehicles will spike in the next few months as people have delayed purchasing for the same reason.
A few EV brands have already indicated that they will reduce prices after January 1st to stimulate sales in what is likely to be a very slow period otherwise. The other factor that is influencing EV & hybrid sales is the uncertainty around how the RUC changes will be implemented. One thing for sure is that we're in for a turbulent year economically and the coalition really need to start putting some certainty into their policies to allow people and businesses to know how best to organise their medium and longer term financial plans.
