April 2022
April brought a mix of big-picture ambition and practical curiosity about EV adoption in Australia. Scientists embarked on a 15,000km Tesla trip powered by printed solar panels, while the country's charging infrastructure postcode divide was mapped in detail. Despite rising interest in EVs, analysts noted that Australia remains behind comparable markets, with battery costs and policy inertia cited as key barriers. Positive industrial news included an Australian refinery nearing production of the country's first lithium hydroxide, and Nissan expanding its factory for EV components.
