In a real signal that battery electrical automobiles have now gone mainstream in Australia, The Australian Ladies’s Weekly has simply featured an article in regards to the MG ZS EV. The copy was equipped by MG and was (as you’d anticipate) overwhelmingly optimistic.
MG (owned by SAIC) has a nicely established and trusted dealership community all through Australia, and excessive visibility by means of its petrol pushed merchandise. As a former British model in a former British colony, it’s doing very nicely.
“The Australian Ladies’s Weekly, typically referred to as merely The Weekly, is an Australian month-to-month ladies’s journal printed by Mercury Capital in Sydney. It’s the primary promoting journal in Australia.” The Weekly has been telling tales of iconic Australian ladies for greater than 80 years after its begin in 1933 with its first and solely male editor.

“The Australian Ladies’s Weekly journal has all the time been the primary place to search out the newest information from the Royal Household to Australia’s profitable ladies, residence electrical home equipment, recipes, knitting patterns and now it presents recommendation on electrical automobiles. The weekly was all the time within the household residence, my mom trusted its recommendation and this has carried on,” says the Unusual Brisbane Lady I’m fortunate to be married to. (She is joyful along with her Tesla and isn’t planning to knit an electrical automobile.)
With nearly 2 million readers per difficulty, each women and men, the journal has demonstrated energy to affect and form tradition throughout the nation. Therefore my pleasure to see an article on EVs within the AWW this month. Not solely will this attain many ladies, however many males can even learn it — you must occupy your self someway in medical doctors’ ready rooms.
MG has been the second highest promoting EV model in Australia till the latest creation of the BYD Atto 3. It appears to be like just like the battle is on.
Throughout 2022, EV gross sales in Australia have gone from a penetration price of two% to round a median of 4%, and inside the previous couple of months of the 12 months, they’ve achieved round 10%. 2023 guarantees to be a fair greater 12 months, with shiploads of automobiles arriving from Europe and China. The Australian public is trying ahead to imports from the USA, notably imports of the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach-E. No phrase but on when GM will resume imports of the Bolt.
A few of my readers have complained in regards to the Australian reliance on Chinese language made automobiles. These Chinese language automobiles are produced from Australian iron, was metal by Australian coal. The typical Chinese language employee drinks beer produced from Australian barley whereas the executives eat Australian cheese washed down with Australian wine. China is Australia’s largest buying and selling companion.

Early in January, I hope to convey extra information of the rising numbers of EVs which have been bought in Australia throughout 2022 with clearer projections of the market in 2023. And for my non-Australian readers, the AWW doesn’t comprise a sample to knit an electrical automobile. The thought simply appeals to my sense of humour.
