Australia’s EV boom meets a $9 billion diesel problem
Show notes
Electric cars have outsold petrol-only cars in Australia for a third straight month, as BEVs continue to take a growing share of the new-car market. Sam Parkinson and Sarah Aubrey unpack the October sales figures, discuss Hyundai’s new Staria Load Electric and what it means for the commercial van market, and look at Australia’s growing dependence on imported diesel - including the billions being added to the national fuel bill. Plus, what we've been driving lately, and why electrifying transport is increasingly as much about energy security and economics as it is about cutting emissions.
