EV Mining Equipment
Miners are changin their fleets of heavy equipement to EV truck – electric or some still trialling Hydrogen. Electric trucks will come – as miners go electric and autonomous
EV
Electric vehicles are the fastest-moving part of the transport shift, and this category tracks the numbers and the arguments. Our posts show EV adoption surging in Australia, Europe and China, including sales that exceeded petrol and diesel cars in Europe, an EV sold every 100 seconds in Australia, and the EU ban on new internal combustion vehicles from 2035. Others profile the biggest Chinese manufacturers, the Tesla Supercharger network, and why charging stations now outnumber gas stations in some places.
The category goes well beyond cars. We cover electric trucks, buses and tractors, mining equipment, motorcycles and scooters, boats and ships, and the economics of fuel and labour costs for Australian trucking. A recurring point is that electric vehicles replace imported petrol and diesel, cut running costs and can support the grid through vehicle-to-grid technology.
Posts also challenge the objections: ten electric vehicle myths debunked, whether EVs still save emissions when electricity comes from gas, hydrogen as a transport option, and whether Toyota’s hesitation is a risk. Million-kilometre batteries and falling battery prices explain why forecasters have repeatedly been out by years. If you are weighing an electric vehicle, following the market or want to see how transport is changing, start here.
