You may not have heard of them, but ACE EV is an Australian startup that’s been plugging away for 4-years with its Yewt and Cargo light commercial electric vehicles. I had a chat with ACE EV co-founder Greg McGarvie at the recently Smart Energy Exhibition in Sydney, to find out more about his plan to…
Whilst Hyundai Australia’s AutoLink implementation leaves much to be desired for Ioniq and Kona owners, it’s at least something to control the car remotely. Our mates over in Europe get nothing! Not content to live without status monitoring on their Hyundai EVs, one enterprising German who goes by the name GPlay97 did something about it…
In the run-up to a federal election mid-year, the ALP have announced a range of policies to spur adoption of EVs in Australia – if they win the election. Let’s go through the announcement (page 9 in this PDF) and try rinse the political spin off their ideas. These EV policies are part of an…
A critical look at Hyundai’s AutoLink Premium remote control smartphone app on the Ioniq Electric. Whilst I’m glad it exists, AutoLink Premium needs some major updates to be EV friendly.
In this post I’ll go over why I decided to get a charger at home in the first place and why I chose the Zappi, then show you how it works and what it’s been like using it for the past few months. Hopefully it helps you decide if the Zappi is the right EV…
My Hyundai Ioniq Electric Elite arrived on the 28th of December 2018 and in the month of ownership, I’ve driven over 3,500km. As the first person many people know to own an electric car, I’ve been bombarded with questions about it. Now that I’m familiar with the car, here’s answers to the most common queries I’ve received!
While EVs are really starting to come into the mainstream now it obviously wasn’t always that way. As such we thought we’d take a look back at the past ten years of Tesla technology development to see just how far EVs have come in order to get a better understanding of what to expect in the future.
When this electric car bizzo first really got into its stride, legacy car makers were fairly timid about it. Ridiculous little cars like the Mitsubishi i-MiEV/Peugeot iON/Citröen C-Zero trio and Nissan’s rather more successful Leaf got the ball rolling. Renault is Nissan’s sister company in what is (for the moment) the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. The Zoe…
The Tesla Pickup Truck (or ute) is one amazing looking new vehicle. Dig into all the confirmed info we have on what this new truck will bring to the table
Australians buy ~210,000 new Utes per year. That’s 1 out of every 117 people in Australia buying a new Ute every year. If the same percentage of people bought Utes in America, that’d be 2.8 millions new sales per year. Currently they only manage a pultry 2.3 million. So it’s clear, per person Australia buys…
