What's the hybrid/electric car market/demand like in Oz?
September will probably turn in to early October, around Bathurst 1000 time. Will seem like forever.

Hybrid/Electric cars make up about 1% of new car sales here. I think that due to the longer distances we tend to drive here that they are disadvantaged, plus the higher buying price. I think some of the newer technology that increases range will make a difference. Also now they compete with a large range of very fuel efficient cars, the running costs are not as significant as previous.

From memory I think V8s were about 20% of all Commodore sales.
