The Electric Vehicle Future is Here
There is a global revolution underway as internal combustion engine cars are being replaced by electric vehicles. In the first quarter of the year in 2020 Tesla became the best selling car in California outselling fossil fuel cars from both Honda and Toyota. Excitingly there are also Australian manufacturers who are entering the market to produce electric vehicles. The number of EV models available is increasing rapidly to meet customer demand and EVs are being produced by most of the major car manufacturers. The NRMA have summarised where EVs are up to in Australia in several articles in their latest magazine. Read the NRMA articles here. While the Australian uptake is still small, around the world, the uptake is much greater in places like Norway where about 50% of cars are electric.
