Thanks Noosa Today again for our regular column in your paper.
So, what’s it like to become an EV owner and what advice can be given after one year of ownership.
Noosa local, Tony Clarke, Expo Coordinator of the ZEN Noosa EV Expo; Electrify Everything Expo gives us his insights and a few tips. Within a few days after attending the 2022 ZEN Noosa EV Expo, where Tony had checked out all the EV’s on show and spoken to the private EV owners there, he ordered a Tesla Model Y sight-unseen to replace his 8-year-old Volkswagen Golf diesel wagon.
During the delivery wait period, and having never driven an EV before, Tony read Tesla’s online
owner’s manual and watched their “get-to-know” videos. “It definitely helped me understand the
