They do their job saving wear and fuel whilst doing stop start taxi duties, which is where these types of vehicles are in their absolute element. Once they have racked up gargantuan mileage, and their generator and battery packs are spent, they would make for a poor proposition as personal transport as they will be spent and the generators cost a fortune to replace. The battery packs have come down in price, from $6000 down to about $1500. That is probably why that older model has managed to stay on the road.

How far into the decade did it need replacing?

The husband of a friend of my grandmother worked at Ford in Broadmeadows as a supervisor, and he got some nice company cars every 9 months. One of them was a lovely EBII 6 cyl Ghia fully optioned and with said Alpine equipment, was fun as a 10 year old reading the manual to figure out how to use it. Nearly bought it for himself at the end of the 9 months but someone at the factory got in first and snapped it up. He bought his 9 month old EF Ghia company car when he retired.

A 5 speed is already an upgrade, I think they were standard with 4 speeds in the early 70s.
