V2G Deep Dive: How Your Car Can Pay Your Power Bill This Year

For as long as we’ve had cars in Australia, they’ve been a “hole in the water” for our bank accounts. You buy them, they lose value, and then you spend thousands every year feeding them petrol and servicing their oily bits. But as we click into January 2026, that dynamic is officially flipping. Thanks to […]

Strata Success: Installing EV Chargers in Australian Apartments

For the longest time, owning an electric vehicle in Australia felt like an exclusive club for people with three-car garages and suburban driveways. If you lived in an apartment—or a “flat,” as we’d say after a few too many—you were essentially told to “wait and see.” Well, it’s January 2026, and the wait is officially […]

The Great Aussie Tow-Off: Can the 2026 Fleet Pull Its Weight?

If there is one thing that gets an Aussie’s blood pumping more than a cold beer on a Friday arvo, it’s the debate over what’s hitched to the back of the car. Whether it’s a three-tonne caravan heading for the Ningaloo Reef or a weekend boat for a run out to the Seaway, the “Tow […]

Second-Hand Savvy: How to Buy a Used EV in 2026

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the car market lately, you’ve probably noticed something’s shifted.

The PHEV Tax Clock: Why You Only Have 90 Days Left

January in Australia is usually about three things: the Boxing Day Test, trying to keep the lawn from turning into a tinderbox, and the creeping realization that the “new year, new me” gym membership was a bit optimistic. But in 2026, for thousands of Aussies with a car on their mind, there’s a fourth thing […]

The 2026 Vision: How Your Car Will Power the Grid

For the last decade, we’ve looked at our cars as one of two things: a necessary tool for getting from A to B, or a rapidly depreciating asset that sits idle in the driveway for 22 hours a day. In 2026, that perception is about to be shattered. Welcome to the era of the Vehicle-Grid […]

The 2026 Australian EV Forecast: Models, Prices, and Trends

Welcome to 2026. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about making the switch to electric, I have some news for you: the fence is gone, and the grass is looking pretty green on this side. At EV Evolution, we’ve spent the last few years tracking the “early adopter” phase where buying an EV felt […]

Family Proofing: Surviving the Trip to the In-Laws

There is a specific kind of “controlled chaos” that occurs exactly three hours before a family road trip to the in-laws. It’s the sound of a roof box being snapped shut, the frantic search for a specific iPad charger, and the inevitable realization that the dog, the three kids, and the industrial-sized box of Christmas […]

2026: A Landmark Year for the Australian EV Evolution

As the first light of January 2026 touches the Australian coastline, it does more than just signal a new calendar year. It marks a moment of profound transformation. Just a few short years ago, an electric vehicle (EV) on an Australian road was a rare sight—a conversation starter at the charging station or a curious […]
