Economics
Designed around recovery, not burden
The economic logic is simple: fuel savings should help offset conversion cost, making the transition financially realistic for ordinary vehicle owners.
Base conversion
~A$3,000
Target base case for a practical modular entry kit at scale.
Annual savings
~A$1,500+
Indicative savings against petrol under modeled operating assumptions.
Recovery horizon
~2 years
Conversion finance can be structured around near-term recovery through usage savings.
Why financing matters
The model works best when the user redirects future fuel savings toward short-term conversion finance rather than taking on a heavy new asset loan.
Why government support can stay light
The strongest policy lever is interest support or guarantee support, improving access while keeping public outlay relatively low.
