Izimoto zikagesi sezikhona kakade, kodwa ingabe sinendaba?

I-Tesla Model 3 ikhishwe ngenyanga edlule njengemoto engabizi kakhulu ohlwini lomkhiqizo.

Kunokukhulu ukushuba ezimotweni zikagesi (EVs) kulezi zinsuku njengoba ziya ngokwanda izimoto ezihlukene njengeTesla Model 3, Porsche Taycan neHyundai Kona EV bengena endaweni yesigameko.

Kodwa izimoto zikagesi zisakha ingxenye encane kuphela yemakethe yokuthengisa izimoto ezintsha, futhi nakuba zivame ukukhula zisuka endaweni ephansi, usemkhulu umsebenzi okufanele wenziwe ukuze izimoto zikagesi zibe yinsakavukela.

Bheka ukuthi empeleni sithengani okwamanje, futhi lokhu kukude nezimoto zikagesi ezinikezwayo.

Ngokombiko we-August New Car Sales Report, uhlobo oludayiswa kakhulu kuleli iToyota HiLux ute, ilandelwa yizimbangi zayo iFord Ranger, kanti iMitsubishi Triton nayo ihamba phambili kweziyishumi.

Ngaleso sisekelo, kubonakala sengathi izimoto zikaphethiloli nekadizili esizithengayo futhi esizijabulelayo namuhla zizoba khona esikhathini esizayo. Manje-ke yini esele ngemoto kagesi emakethe yase-Australia?

Bayikusasa

Ungalenzi iphutha, inkathi yezimoto zikagesi isiqalile. Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukumila nokuchuma kusewumbuzo ocindezela kakhulu.

Bona okwenzekayo eYurophu - inkomba ebalulekile yalokho esingakulindela e-Australia eminyakeni ezayo.

KwaMercedes-Benz bethule i-EQC SUV, iveni ye-EQV kanye nesedan kanokusho i-EQS. I-Audi ilungiselela ukwethula i-e-tron quattro endaweni kanti abanye bazolandela. Bese kulandela ukuhlasela kweVolkswagens kagesi, eholwa yi-ID.3 hatchback.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ungakwazi ukwengeza ama-EV asuka kwaBMW, Mini, Kia, Jaguar, Nissan, Honda, Volvo, Polestar, Renault, Ford, Aston Martin kanye neRivian akhona noma azofika maduze.

Ukwanda kwezinhlobonhlobo zezimoto zikagesi kufanele kudlale indima yakho ekukhuliseni intshisekelo yabathengi. Kuze kube manje, zibiza kakhulu kunezinhlobo zikaphethiloli ezinosayizi ofanayo noma ongakhetha kukho kwe-niche premium njenge-Tesla lineup kanye ne-Jaguar I-Pace muva nje.

Uma izimoto ezisebenza ngebhethri zikhona e-Australia, izinkampani zezimoto kuzodingeka zinikeze abathengi uhlobo lwemoto eziludingayo.

Mhlawumbe i-VW ID.3 ilingana naleyo sikhunta njengoba izoqhudelana neToyota Corolla edumile, iHyundai i30 neMazda3 ngobukhulu, uma kungeyona intengo yokuqala. Njengoba kutholakala ama-hatchback kagesi amaningi, ama-SUV, ngisho nezithuthuthu, lokhu kufanele kukhuphule inzalo nokuthengisa.

Ngo-Agasti, uhulumeni wobumbano ukhiphe umbiko obikezela ukuthi isabelo sezimoto zikagesi e-Australia sizofinyelela ku-2025% ngo-27, sikhuphukele ku-2030% ngo-50 futhi singafinyelela ku-2035% ngo-16. ishiya amaphesenti angu-50 ezimoto emgwaqeni, ethembele ohlotsheni oluthile lwenjini evuthayo yangaphakathi.

Kuze kube muva nje, izimoto zikagesi zakha amaphesenti amancane emakethe futhi zazingenamsebenzi kubathengi abaningi, kodwa izengezo ezintsha kufanele zisize ukushintsha lokho.

Intshisekelo ekhulayo

Muva nje, i-Electric Vehicle Council (EVC) ikhiqize umbiko onesihloko esithi "The State of Electric Vehicles" ngemuva kokuvota kwabaphenduli abangu-1939. Lena inombolo encane yocwaningo, kodwa kufanele futhi kwengezwe ukuthi isibalo esikhulu sazo sithathwe kumalungu e-NRMA, i-RACQ ne-RACQ, okubonisa ukuthi ayazi kakhulu izitayela zezimoto.

Nokho lo mbiko uveze okuthakazelisayo okutholakele, ikakhulukazi labo okukhulunywe nabo abathi bahlole izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi, ezikhuphuke zisuka ku-19% ngo-2017 zaya ku-45% ngo-2019, nalabo abathi bazocabanga ukuthenga imoto kagesi ngentengo 51%. isenti.

UScott Nargar, iSenior Future Mobility Manager kwaHyundai Australia, ukholelwa ukuthi kunokuthambekela okubonakalayo okukhuphukayo kwentshisekelo yabathengi. Uyavuma ukuthi uyamangala isibalo sabathengi abazimele abathenga izimoto zikagesi iHyundai Kona ne-Ioniq, njengoba bekulindeleke ukuthi izimoto zihambe phambili ngokudayisa.

"Ngicabanga ukuthi kukhona ukusebenzelana kwabathengi okukhulu," kusho uMnu. Nargar. Auto Isiqondiso. “Ukuqwashisa kuyakhula; umshado uyakhula. Siyazi ukuthi inhloso yokuthenga iphezulu futhi iya phezulu.”

Ukholelwa ukuthi imakethe isondela esimeni esihle, iqhutshwa yizinto eziningi, okuhlanganisa ukuhlomisa amandla, ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nesimo sezombusazwe.

"Abantu basonqenqemeni," kusho uMnu. Nargar.

Asikho isisusa

Uhulumeni wobumbano usohlelweni lokuphothula inqubomgomo yakhe yezimoto zikagesi, okungenzeka ukuthi ishicilelwe ekuqaleni kuka-2020.

Okuxakayo ukuthi uhulumeni wayihleka usulu esidlangalaleni inqubomgomo ye-EV Yezabasebenzi phakathi nomkhankaso wokhetho, owawufuna ukuthengiswa kwe-EV okungama-50% ngo-2030, futhi umbiko kahulumeni uqobo, okukhulunywe ngaye ekuqaleni, wabonisa ukuthi sasineminyaka emihlanu nje kuphela.

Yize kusazobonakala ukuthi uhulumeni uzokwenzani ukweseka ukwethulwa kwezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi, imboni yezimoto ayilindele ukuthi umfutho wezezimali ube yingxenye yalolu hlelo.

Kunalokho, abantu abathenga izimoto kulindeleke ukuthi bashintshele ezimotweni zikagesi ngenxa yokuthanda kwabo - kungaba ukusebenza kahle, ukusebenza kahle, ukunethezeka noma isitayela. Njenganoma iyiphi imakethe ekhula ngokushesha, izimoto zikagesi zizoheha amakhasimende amaningi afuna ukuzama into entsha nehlukile.

Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ngenkathi uhulumeni kanye nabaphikisi bephikisana ngama-EV kodwa empeleni banikeza kancane kakhulu kubathengi, uMnu Nargar uthe impikiswano yomphakathi phakathi nomkhankaso wokhetho yaholela ekwandeni kwesithakazelo kuma-EV; kangangokuthi iHyundai isiqede amasheya ayo e-Ioniq ne-Kona EV.

Kwenze kube lula

Esinye isici esibalulekile esizosiza ukwandisa isithakazelo ezimotweni zikagesi ukwanda kwenethiwekhi yomphakathi yeziteshi zokushaja.

UMnu. Nargar uthe abakwaHyundai basebenzisana nezinkampani eziningi ezahlukene, okuhlanganisa izinkampani zikawoyela, izitolo ezinkulu nabahlinzeki beshaja, ukusiza ukwandisa indawo yokushaja yomphakathi. I-NRMA isivele itshale izigidi eziyishumi zamaRandi kunethiwekhi yamalungu ayo, kanti uhulumeni waseQueensland, kanye nenkampani eyisipesheli i-Chargefox, utshale kumgwaqo omkhulu kagesi osuka eColangangatta uya eCairns.

Futhi lokhu kuyisiqalo nje. Lokhu akuzange kuqashelwe kakhulu, kodwa uGilbarco Veeder-Root, amandla amakhulu embonini yamathangi kaphethiloli, wabamba iqhaza e-Tritium; inkampani eseQueensland ekhiqiza amashaja asheshayo ezimotweni zikagesi emhlabeni jikelele.

I-Tritium ihlinzeka cishe ngama-50% wamashaja ayo ku-Ionity, inethiwekhi yaseYurophu esekelwa yinhlangano yabakhi bezimoto. Ukubambisana neGilbarco kunikeza i-Tritium ithuba lokukhuluma neningi labanikazi beziteshi zesevisi ezweni lonke ngenhloso yokwengeza ishaja yemoto eyodwa noma amabili kagesi kanye namaphampu abo kaphethiloli nawedizili.

Izitolo ezinkulu kanye nenxanxathela yezitolo ziya ngokuya zitshala imali kumashaja ezimoto zikagesi njengoba kunikeza abantu isikhathi esikahle sokushajwa kabusha bengekho ekhaya.

Isihluthulelo sokuthuthukisa ukuthengiswa kwe-EV kule nethiwekhi yomphakathi ukuthi bonke abahlinzeki abahlukene bazosebenzisa indlela yokukhokha efanayo, kusho uMnu Nargar.

"Isipiliyoni somsebenzisi sibalulekile," esho. "Sidinga indlela yokukhokha eyodwa, kungaba uhlelo lokusebenza noma ikhadi, kuyo yonke inethiwekhi yengqalasizinda."

Uma izinhlangothi ezihlukahlukene zingasebenza ndawonye ukuze zenze okuhlangenwe nakho okushelelayo ezindaweni zomphakathi ezikahle, lokho kungaba ukhiye wokwenza abantu banakekele igagasi elisha lezimoto zikagesi ezisendleleni yethu.
