'When Robyn Everist saw the petrol prices skyrocketing she knew it was time to
put a long-laid plan to purchase an electrical vehicle into action.
A few months later, she and her husband couldn't be happier.
"We've been waiting for the prices to get a bit more reasonable," Ms Everist
said, with her selection of a second-hand Nissan Leaf setting her back about
$30,000 when all the costs are tallied up.
"We had an initial look and said 'yes we'll do that', but didn't seriously go
car hunting until the petrol price went up.
"We drive to town every day for work and there was no way I was going to pay
petrol money if I could just as easily get an electric car that's more
efficient."
Ms Everist and her husband live at Clifton Beach, about 30 minutes from
Hobart's CBD in Tasmania, but work in the city — making for a round trip of
around 70 kilometres every day.
She said while there's no doubt her home electricity bill has increased, it is
a small price to pay for the reduced carbon footprint she's creating and the
ability to drive straight past the servo.
"If I have to drive to work, this is the way to do it."'
We purchased our current car, a second-hand 2018 Leaf, from Good Car Company
and can highly recommend them.
