Part 2/8:
The podcast kicked off with Llewellyn observing the dramatic changes that have taken place in Australia’s electric vehicle scene since his last visit in 2018. He noted how charging infrastructure has seen considerable growth, which directly corresponds to the increase in EV adoption on Australian roads.
Clark echoed this sentiment by recounting the struggles and limitations faced by early EV pioneers, notably Tesla, who spearheaded the electric revolution in Australia but were met with minimal supporting infrastructure. In 2018, EVs accounted for nearly 10% of all new cars, a figure that still reflects a remarkable jump from the previous years, showcasing how far the market has come.
