It’s only the second week of January 2026, and if you’ve been paying attention to the Aussie car market, you’ll know we’ve finally hit the “tipping point.” The “early adopter” days are long gone—EVs are now a staple on our suburban streets. But as a seasoned automotive journalist, I’ll let you in on a little […]
As we kick off 2026, the Australian electric vehicle market has finally found its stride. We’ve moved past the “early adopter” phase where seeing a Tesla on the M1 was a novelty; now, with EVs making up over 12% of new car sales, they’re as common as a meat pie at the footy. But as […]
It’s 2026, and the Australian “servo” is undergoing a quiet, high-voltage transformation. If you pulled into a highway stop three years ago, you might have seen one lonely Tesla Supercharger and a lot of empty space. Today, you’re more likely to see a bustling hub of ultra-rapid DC units, a queue of BYD Shark 6 […]
If you’ve recently made the jump to an electric vehicle in Australia, you’ve likely experienced two very different types of “sticker shock.” The first is the thrill of never seeing a $120 fuel bill again. The second, unfortunately, is the moment you open your annual insurance renewal. As we move through 2026, the electric car […]
For the better part of a decade, Mazda fans in Australia have been playing a bit of a waiting game. While the Japanese brand has consistently delivered some of the best-selling petrol SUVs in the country—the CX-5 being a perennial favourite—its journey into the electric era felt more like a tentative toe-dip than a full-blown […]

Happy New Year and welcome back to EV Evolution. If 2024 was the year of the “curiosity” and 2025 was the year of the “early majority,” then 2026 is officially the year the electric vehicle (EV) became the standard. We’ve moved past the days of limited choice; today, the Australian showroom is a battlefield of […]
If you’re running a small business in Australia in 2026, you’ve likely noticed the landscape on our roads has changed. The familiar rattle of diesel delivery vans and the roar of petrol utes are slowly being replaced by a purposeful, high-torque hum. We’ve officially hit the tipping point. The “wait and see” period is over; […]
If you’ve been hanging around the Aussie EV scene for more than five minutes, you’ve likely heard it mentioned in hushed, almost reverent tones: Solid-State. For years, solid-state batteries have been the “unicorn” of the automotive world—the mythical technology that promised to end range anxiety, slash charging times to the length of a flat white […]
There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you wake up in the Flinders Ranges or pull into a secluded spot along the Ningaloo Coast.
