February 2023
Australia's electric vehicle landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, as evidenced by these articles spanning infrastructure innovation, market dynamics, and regulatory evolution. Infrastructure developments include creative solutions like pole-mounted chargers and mobile charging services, alongside Tesla's expansion of Supercharger access to competing brands, while regulatory frameworks remain in flux with conflicting state approaches to EV taxation and legal challenges to existing levies. The market itself shows remarkable vitality, with new entrants like BYD and MG challenging Tesla's dominance, manufacturers introducing electric variants across diverse segments from passenger sedans to commercial utes, and Tesla achieving milestone sales figures. Underpinning this ecosystem are advances in battery technology and local lithium procurement, while practical applications extend beyond transportation to include vehicle-to-load capabilities that enable EVs to serve as mobile power sources for work and recreation.
