GUEST OPINION by Dr Roger Dargville: The federal government's electric vehicle strategy, which includes new fuel efficiency standards and battery recycling, is very welcome news, but Australlia needs to remember tha the country's electricity grid and charging infrastructure are “currently not sufficiently equipped to handle a significant uptake of electric vehicles”, according to one expert from Monash University’s Energy Institute.

The share of new electric vehicles sold in Australia increased to 3.39% in September compared to 2.05% the previous year, a report from the Electric Vehicle Council says.

The national body representing the electric vehicle industry in Australia, the Electric Vehicle Council, has issued a scathing critique of a Future Fuels discussion paper put out by the Federal Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction Angus Taylor, describing it as “yet another flaccid, do-nothing document that will prevent Australians getting access to the world’s best electric vehicles.”
