A Queensland mum using her electric car for life-saving dialysis during a blackout, and Tesla's impressive expansion of Superchargers. Despite their growing popularity, challenges remain, such as Tesla admitting to overestimating driving ranges and Australians' enduring preference for SUVs and utes. The affordability of EVs is improving, with new models becoming increasingly accessible. However, issues like compliance investigations into the 2024 Tesla Model 3 and higher rates for EV owners are part of the evolving landscape. Innovations are on the rise, from simpler Tritium chargers to the introduction of battery electric buses, indicating a dynamic shift in transportation. The narrative extends to a man's journey across Australia on an electric motorcycle, addressing range anxiety, and the potential for local EV battery production.
