Electric cars are important - but we can now electrify all land-based transport, from buses to bikes to trucks. We need good policy settings.
Anthony Albanese on Sunday formally launched Labor’s campaign, with promises for low paid women, and aspiring home buyers.
Many people want to know about practical suggestions to help slow climate change. Effective action starts at home.
Even if all passenger vehicles sold today were electric, it would take more than ten years for the Australian road fleet to be fully electric.
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.
Electric vehicle batteries, wind turbine generators and hydrogen fuel cells are among technologies likely to be affected by the conflict.
Proposals to cut Australia’s fuel excise will prolong an already alarming dependence on oil-based imports and undermine policies to shift the nation away from fossil fuels.
Research shows people want government to restrict excess consumption through regulations, not just to rely on citizens to make better choices.
If governments auctioned off monopoly rights to produce and distribute clean fuels, Big Oil might be forced to buy into a greener transport future.
Drive-throughs not only increase air pollution and emissions, but also contribute to a car-centred culture that we need to avoid.
Canada could become a global leader in the supply of materials needed for renewable energy systems if it finds ways to control the environmental footprints associated with their extraction.
China is powering ahead with EV production, but Chinese EVs might not be ready to face the global market.
