EV Pickups are Coming
Electric pickup trucks are coming. In China they are here already, but the love affair of the Pickup in USA or Australia, from big to small is coming over then next 4 years.
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.

Global Car Sales
Who are the major car manufacturers globally, and what disruption will be coming with electric vehicles. Who will be the winners and loser?
EV Replaces Petrol Imports
The value to Australia for coal exports is less than the cost to import petrol and diesel. Australia should transition to EVs as fast as possible to improve the balance of payment and reduce carbon emissions and save consumers money.
