Electric Vehicle Range: City vs Highway Driving If you're thinking about switching to an EV (also known as an all-electric vehicle or battery-electric vehicle), you're likely curious about the range your electric vehicle’s battery offers. This important stat determines just how far you can travel on a single charge, letting you drive with the assurance that you can complete your daily commute or travel various distances without being stranded on the road with no fast-charging location in sight.  Given that several factors can impact the driving range of an electric vehicle, knowing what t ..read more

Breakdown of government incentives across Australia With the uptake of electric vehicles and the FY24 upon us, we wanted to give you an easy guide on what's happening with the incentives in Australia to go electric ..read more

Types of Electric Vehicles – A Complete Guide Electric vehicles (EVs) refers to cars or other vehicles with motors that are powered by electricity, rather than liquid fuels. In this guide we'll go through each type in detail ..read more

Why do electric cars in Australia not come with a spare tire? Have you ever noticed that electric cars in Australia don't come with a spare tire? If so, you're not alone. Many electric car owners have wondered why their vehicle doesn't come with a spare, especially since most gasoline-powered cars do. There are a few reasons why electric cars in Australia may not come with a spare tire ..read more

Understanding regenerative braking in electric vehicles Electric vehicles, or EVs, are becoming an increasingly popular choice for many people looking to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on fuel costs. One important feature of EVs that helps to make them more efficient is regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is a process that captures the energy that is normally lost when a car slows down or stops. In a traditional, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, the energy generated during braking is simply lost as heat. But in an EV, this energy is captured and used to charge the ..read more

Your Jargon-Free Guide To Electric Vehicle Charging In Australia  One of the first questions you’ll likely be asking is this: how do I charge my EV? While filling up at the petrol station is as simple as picking between an unleaded and diesel bowser, EV charging comes with a few more considerations.  You need to know your EV’s range (a.k.a. how far it can drive before needing to recharge), what charging level suits your trip, where to charge your EV and what charging plug will work with your car. While it might seem daunting, electric vehicle charging follows a clear three-level syst ..read more

Hybrid vs. Electric Cars: Your Complete Comparison Guide  Many Australians are exploring other low-emission vehicles, such as hybrid cars. In 2022, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries reported a +16% increase in the sale of non-plug-in hybrid vehicles, more than double the number of pure EVs sold during the same time period.  While pure EVs were once much more expensive than petrol-fuelled ICE (internal combustion engine) cars, things are changing.  But while hybrid vehicles can come with a lower initial price tag and remove the range anxiety of a fully electric car, th ..read more

Wondering when the right time is to make the switch? This is one of the biggest questions circling the internet and EV world right now, “when is the right time to make the switch”. The answer is, when it’s most beneficial for you.  There are multiple factors that need to be considered when choosing when the right time is for you. This article is to make you aware of those factors, things you may not have thought about yet, and help guide you in finding the right time to make the switch ..read more

Understanding the Chemical Composition of Electric Car Batteries: A Look at Sourcing, Environmental Benefits, and Origins Electric car batteries are an increasingly important aspect of the push towards sustainable transportation. These batteries are responsible for powering electric vehicles (EVs) and are a key component in the shift away from internal combustion engines (ICE). While electric car batteries offer numerous environmental benefits, their production does involve the mining of natural resources. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the chemical composition of electric car ba ..read more

The Future of Hydrogen Vehicles: Hype or Reality? As the search for sustainable transportation options continues, hydrogen fuel cell technology has gained a lot of attention in recent years. Proponents of hydrogen vehicles claim that they have several advantages over electric vehicles, including longer range and faster refuelling times. However, the reality is that hydrogen vehicles are still very much in their infancy and face several challenges that may prevent them from becoming a mainstream mode of transportation ..read more
