We discuss some of the challenges with electric vehicles in Australia and what the Australian government needs to do to support electric vehicles. We investigate best practice in other markets such as Norway with regards incentives and infrastructure required to enable the quick rollout of electric vehicles. We discuss batteries and the development of batteries in the future. How this technology is changing and how it will impact electric vehicles going forward. We also look at charging infrastructure and how this technology is developing. How concerns about owning an electric vehicle are quickly becoming no longer relevant. We compare some of the costs of owning an electric vehicle and how with different incentives it becomes a viable purchase compared to an internal combustion engine car. We also look to the future and how this could change in Australia.
