July 2023
Governments offer varying state-based rebates and ACT support schemes, while trials expand innovative solutions like pole-mounted chargers and solar carparks at supermarkets. Technology races ahead with “proton batteries” in development, and new models like Skoda’s Enyaq entering the market, yet the second-hand EV sector remains sluggish. Local resistance is also evident, with towns like Collie rejecting chargers due to low demand. Broader shifts are reshaping the roadscape, from political debates over fuel standards to the rise in EV roadside call-outs requiring new training. Cultural milestones — from Tesla pioneer Simon Hackett backing Fully Charged to visionary road design — reflect both the growing pains and promise of electrification.
