This seaside European city has transformed from shabby to chic
It's been many years since I was last in Nice, and its transformation is both unmistakable and impressive. Traditionally, the French Riviera's humble (some might say shabby) seaside capital, overshadowed by its more glamorous neighbours Monte Carlo and Cannes, the city has been quietly reinventing itself as a sophisticated alternative to its glitzy cousins, with several five-star hotels opening in recent times. Here to celebrate Virgin Australia's return to long-haul flying via its new partnership with Qatar Airways, we're staying at one of these, the Anantara Plaza. It's a Belle Époque hotel set a block back from the Promenade des Anglais (and close to new designer stores along Rue Paradis), that has been smartly renovated in a collaboration by three different design and architecture studios. There are custom art pieces; bespoke furniture inspired by the hotel's coastal location, and references to local landmarks, such as the chessboard tiles in the entranceway that echo nearby Place Masséna. The rooftop bar and restaurant, Seen by Olivier, is the place du jour for sweeping views from the mountains to the Baie des Anges, the perfect accompaniment to your breakfast pain au chocolat or sunset glass of champagne. Not far away, the Hotel du Couvent, a former 17th-century convent set at the base of the Colline du Chateau, the hilltop park that dominates the old town, has undergone a meticulous and thoughtful €100 million renovation, which has taken it from derelict buildings to stunning 88-room hotel. Original colonnades and terracotta floors have been restored to reflect its monastic past, and it features three restaurants, multiple pools including Roman baths, a serene wellness studio for yoga (no unattractive weights room here) plus a bakery and a herbalist shop. Meanwhile Vieux Nice, the city's historic centre once characterised by narrow, car-clogged streets, is now a vibrant pedestrian-friendly zone, a modern tram system running through the city's revitalised core. History and tradition still abound, of course: perennial favourites in the old town are the Cours Saleya flower and produce market; Maison Auer, a rococo-decor chocolatier opposite the Opera House where candied fruits are considered a chic gift to buy, and Restaurant Acchiardo for its Nicoise specialties including stuffed vegetables and pan bagnat. Hole-in-the-wall Chez Theresa is the place to get your socca (chickpea flatbread/pancake) and pissaladiere (onion tart).

Huge sum workers may save on commute by driving electric car
Electric vehicles are likely to save people $45,000 on their work commute over their working life, according to new research. The study found EVs have less than a quarter of the running costs for the average-length commute compared to a petrol car. The Open Agent research found someone who lived 15km away from their work — which is close to the average distance most people live from their workplace according to Census data — pays $58,000 in petrol over a 42-year career. The cost of charging an electric car over this period and distance — similar to someone travelling from Scarborough to the CBD — is about $13,000. Those driving to work from 30km away (roughly the distance between Ellenbrook to Perth, or Karrinyup to the airport) face a lifetime work commute charge cost of $26,460 with an EV, or $116,100 for petrol. At the other end of the spectrum, those driving from 5km away will pay $4410 to charge an EV, or $19,350 for petrol. The research based the a petrol cost of $1.72 per litre, and an electric cost of 0.042c, which is the standard used by the Australian Taxation Office. But the Motor Trades Association warns though operational savings are undoubtedly cheaper, the study did not consider the full suite of costs associated with an electric vehicle.

'I would agree with this initial assessment that it is cheaper to run an electric vehicle if you are only looking at running the car from the time you turn it on to the time you turn it off,' he said. Mr Moir also questioned the environmental benefits of EVs considering the impact of mining lithium for batteries. However, he said swift advances on technology could soon see lithium batteries replaced with more environmentally friendly options. RAC general manager of external relations Will Golsby said its surveys showed most EV buyers chose to go electric for reasons like convenience and lower running costs, in addition to the environmental benefits. 'Ease of servicing and maintenance, and EVs being cheaper to power are key reasons people are choosing electric or hybrid over petrol or diesel,' he said. 'Hybrids have also become popular for drivers who aren't ready for a full electric vehicle but want the benefits of lower running costs and reduced emissions. 'However more needs to be done to bring down the up-front cost of EVs. We need to see a wider variety of options at lower price points. 'We support the Australian Government's fringe benefit tax exemption for EVs and continue to call for more action to improve EV affordability for Western Australians.' What it costs driving to work.
