July 2025

Governments and industry are rolling out more kerbside, highway, and mixed-use chargers, while surveys track owner confidence and usage habits. Charging etiquette is evolving through idle and congestion fees, and new tech is addressing used battery safety. Reports highlight the need for optimized station locations and freight electrification, while states like ACT and SA introduce fresh incentives and projects. Globally, restrictions on battery manufacturing, energy security risks, and innovations like a 1,000km Mercedes EQS run shape the context. Meanwhile, Tesla faces scrutiny over fees and phantom braking, and new players such as Zeekr enter Australia’s charging market. Alongside milestones like Chargefox’s 5 millionth session, everyday stories—from EV road trips to ferry travel—show the shift from novelty to mainstream mobility.
