Show Notes
Are the “wrong Australians” buying electric cars, or are we still hearing the same tired arguments about who EVs are for?
This week, we unpack the latest round of EV culture wars and separate legitimate concerns about charging access from sweeping claims about where electric cars do and don’t belong.
We also discuss the delays in NRMA’s national charging rollout and its heavily redacted report, debate what a fair road-user charge could look like, and ask whether the newly priced Lepas L6 does enough to stand out.
Plus: Volkswagen promises a more affordable ID. Buzz, highlights from the Paris motor show, and what we’ve been driving lately.
