50 Years in the Making?! Australia's EV Boom!

50 Years in the Making?! Australia's EV Boom!

In this episode, Robert Llewellyn chats with James Pickering, National President of the Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA), diving into the incredible rise of electric vehicles and renewable energy "down under."

From witnessing the Solar Challenge 30 years ago to becoming a lifelong EV advocate, James shares his journey and insights into how Australia has gone from limited EV options to a market bursting with diversity—from everyday BYDs and MGs to luxury EVs like Rolls-Royce.

Together they discuss:

🔋The World's Oldest EV Association: How AEVA, founded in 1973 during the oil crises, paved the way for fuel security and innovation.

🔋 The Second-Hand EV Boom: Why buying a used EV in Australia is easier than you think—and why "battery anxiety" is mostly a myth.

🔋 Charging Infrastructure Realities: The truth behind charging queues and how the network has doubled in size in the last year.

🔋 Solar Opportunity: How rooftop solar lets some Australians charge their EVs for free—or even earn money doing it.

🔋Clever Charging Solutions: From gully chargers and swing arms to converting street poles—creative solutions for drivers without driveways.

🔋The DIY Legacy: How AEVA members continue the tradition of converting classic cars to electric
