Zeekr’s newcomer, produced under the Geely umbrella and developed with technical input from Volvo and Polestar engineers, presents a closely aligned package to the Model Y on size […]
Battery health is one of the most talked-about issues holding Australians back from switching to electric vehicles. While modern EV batteries are engineered to last the life of a car for most owners, uncertainty about degradation, repairability and resale value remains a barrier – particularly for buyers in the second-hand market. This week the NRMA […]
The Commonwealth and state and territory treasurers have taken a formal step toward a national road‑user charging system for electric vehicles (EVs), signalling an important juncture in Australia’s transition to zero‑emission transport.
