If you’d walked into a prestige dealership in Australia back in 2022 and asked for a mid-sized electric SUV, you’d likely have been met with a polite shrug or a two-year waiting list for something that felt like a petrol car with a battery “stuffed” into the floor. Fast forward to June 2026, and the […]
Remember when buying an electric car in Australia meant signing over your firstborn or taking out a second mortgage? For years, the “EV tax” was a very real hurdle. If you wanted to go green, you had to be “made of money.” Well, welcome to January 2026, where the game has changed completely. The $30,000 […]
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 […]
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the car market lately, you’ve probably noticed something’s shifted. Walk past a used car lot in Sydney or scroll through Marketplace in Perth, and you’re no longer just seeing rows of white Hiluxes and thrashed Corollas. Instead, the “Great EV Flood” of 2026 has officially begun. At EV […]
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.

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 […]
If you had walked into a car dealership three years ago looking for a used electric vehicle, you would have likely been met with a blank stare or a very short list of incredibly expensive options. Back then, the used EV market in Australia was practically non-existent—a handful of early-adopter Teslas and the occasional Nissan […]
While most of Australia is busy debating the best way to cook a Christmas prawn or planning their January coastal escape, there is a much quieter—but far more expensive—conversation happening in Canberra. If you’ve been “thinking about” an electric vehicle for a while, the next 30 days are arguably the most critical window for your […]
It happens every year around this time. Between the final Christmas leftovers and the first firework on New Year’s Eve, we all start making promises to ourselves. We promise to hit the gym more, to finally read that stack of books on the nightstand, or to get our finances in order. But for Australian drivers, […]
For years, the biggest hurdle for Aussies looking to make the switch to electric was the “EV Tax”—that pesky $20,000 premium you had to pay just to ditch the petrol pump. But as we close out 2025, that hurdle hasn’t just been lowered; it’s been demolished. We are officially living in the era of Price […]
