Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles now outsell battery-electric in Australia. One reason? Drivers don’t feel confident in the public charger network.
Both gasoline and diesel fuel are refined from crude oil, but they are good for different things and can’t be used interchangeably.
Reduced government incentives, the spreading of myths and concerns about used car values and fires have stalled what had been an increasingly rapid uptake of electric vehicles.
Formula One has announced some significant changes aimed to reduce the sport’s environmental impact. Will it make a difference, or is this an example of ‘greenwashing’?
Hybrid vehicles are having a real moment in Australia and overseas. The problem is, they’re not as clean as we think.
The new rule isn’t a mandate for electric vehicles, but it will sharply increase their market share over the coming decade.

A guide to understanding hybrid and electric vehicles and deciding which is most suitable for your lifestyle.
Noise pollution is a serious problem, and cars make a lot of it. But roads are also a factor.
Unless ambitious public policy action is taken, electric vehicles will remain the privilege of the few for the foreseeable future.
