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 […]
If you had told an Aussie driver ten years ago that their car would one day “earn its keep” by paying the household power bill, they would’ve laughed you out of the driveway. Back then, cars were “depreciating assets”—expensive machines that sat idle 95% of the time, slowly losing value and draining your wallet at […]
If you’ve walked through any Australian suburb lately, you’ve seen it: a shimmering sea of blue and black glass on every second roof. Australia leads the world in rooftop solar penetration, with over 3.6 million homes harvesting the sun. But for a long time, we’ve been playing a losing game with the retailers. We sell […]
For years, the dream of owning an electric vehicle in Australia came with an unwritten prerequisite: You must own a driveway. If you lived in an apartment, the narrative was usually, “It’s too hard,” or “The strata committee will never agree.” Many would-be EV owners found themselves trapped in a loop of wanting to switch […]
You’ve signed the contract. The financing is approved. The delivery date for your shiny new electric vehicle is locked in. You are probably spending your evenings watching YouTube reviews and buying floor mats online.

The moment you sign the papers on a new electric vehicle, you are immediately confronted with the next big question: “How am I going to charge this thing?” The dealership pushes a glossy brochure for a $2,000 smart wallbox, the electrician quotes another $800 to $1,500 for installation, and suddenly, the incredible fuel savings you […]
You’ve done it. You’ve convinced the partner, you’ve run the numbers on the novated lease, and you’re ready to buy your first electric car. You walk up to a public charging station to see how it works, and suddenly, you’re staring at a machine that looks like it belongs on the International Space Station. There […]
For years, the promise of the electric vehicle was a silent, clean driving experience. The reality, however, still involved the daily friction of finding the cable, wrestling it out of the boot, aligning the plug, and pushing the button. It’s a minor chore, but a chore nonetheless. Now, a major technology shift is underway in […]
For decades, crossing the Nullarbor was the ultimate Australian rite of passage. It was a journey defined by noise, dust, and the smell of diesel. You packed jerry cans, checked your fan belts, and prepared for the relentless drone of the engine fighting the headwinds of the Great Australian Bight. For early EV adopters, it […]
Welcome to your Thursday briefing. It has been a scorching week on the eastern seaboard, and the EV news cycle is running just as hot. As we race toward the end of 2025, the Australian electric vehicle landscape is shifting gears from “early adoption” to “infrastructure explosion.” This week, we’ve seen the NSW government double […]
