EVs are not a threat to the grid – they are the missing piece of a cleaner, cheaper electricity system – if we design for them.

EVs are no longer a sideshow; they’re the main act, stepping into the spotlight as the headliners from the age of oil shuffle offstage.Â

Electric ferries have gone from novelty to common sense in less than a decade. But Australian governments are still pretending the technology is stuck at the starting line?

April may prove to be more than just another strong EV month. It may be the clearest sign yet that Australia’s market is crossing a threshold, and that China is now the lead supplier.

Japan’s carmakers have treated battery-electric vehicles as niche, betting instead on hybrids, hydrogen and e-fuels. Now, China, with its EVs and batteries as core industries, is defining the future of mobility.

Australia could have had three times as many EVs on the road, powered by renewables. Instead, we are pumping dirty fuel into our tanks because of a ridiculous scare campaign.

Contrary to reports, the share of electric vehicles in new car sales in March actually grew, and ICE sales are static.

There is no electric vehicles slow down, just talk of it in mainstream media. And if car makers stall in any region, they will simply be replaced by China.

The future is electric. And quieter. But we need to foster a culture of road safety that prioritises people over vehicles.
