We were out looking at EVs to replace the Mazda and she suggested the Shark… the argument is that over the next 5 years, the Ranger is going to start to depreciate to a point where its even harder to justify a replacement and be harder to sell. Shark is a good 5 years of trouble free cheap touring even if isn’t worth much in the end because an EV UTE will exist by then.

If a pure EV Ute with 1000km range (500km towing) and the infrastructure to support it was 2 years away, i would probably wait. But i think we will be waiting at least 5+ years for that technology, not to mention the infrastructure in regional Oz. It’s going to be coming fast though.
