Governments may be forced to put back deadlines to shift away from petrol and diesel.
We’re lagging behind on the shift to electric vehicles and clean transport. Here’s what we need to do.
Electric cars are important - but we can now electrify all land-based transport, from buses to bikes to trucks. We need good policy settings.

A study commissioned by the ACT government finds zero-interest loans and free registration help – but the price of the car and petrol prices matter most of all.
Failure to make the most of Britain’s abundant renewables will mean a costly and unreliable energy supply.
In 2022, Australia is facing an election in which both major parties have little to offer on emissions reductions and moving away from fossil fuels.
A new international report on climate change finds rapid changes could cut emissions from transportation by 80% to 90%. Three behavior change trends could bring big improvements.
The outlook for potential emissions reduction is far better than in earlier assessments, thanks to the plunging costs of clean energy technologies.
Bidirectional charging is the next big stage for electric vehicles. But storing power in your car and sending it back to your house involves more than flipping a switch.
Is it affordable? Is it safe? Here are some key things to consider if you’re considering buying one of these vehicles or using them in a share scheme.
Unfortunately, Australians should not expect EVs to suddenly become cheap and easy to get here in the next couple of years unless policy changes.
