Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): Transforming Electric Vehicles into Distributed Energy Resources: parked cars become mobile batteries that can power homes, support the electricity network and, in many cases, generate revenue for their owners. For Australians – with among the highest rooftop solar penetration in the world and a fast-moving transition to renewables – V2G promises a practical, […]
When we bought a BYD Atto 3 Extended Range 12 months ago, it was a deliberate experiment: could an affordable, Chinese-built electric vehicle really shoulder the day-to-day and the unexpected that comes with regional Australian life?

Introduction If you’re weighing a move to electric, congratulations – you’re stepping into Australia’s fastest‑growing vehicle market. But while range and charging get the headlines, the real complexity for buyers in 2025 is incentive‑anxiety.

For motorists, fleets and industry observers, these developments […]
Zeekr’s Shooting Brake pushes the bounds of ultra-fast charging, signaling a bold step forward for the brand’s international ambitions and for Australia’s rapidly evolving EV landscape. As Zeekr continues to build momentum in the Australian market, where the brand launched with the Zeekr X (400V) and Zeekr 009 MPV, the race to redefine charging times […]
