Plunging battery prices and cheap running costs mean battery electric vehicles are now outselling petrol cars across Europe and China.
In Australia, battery EVs have reached 23% of new car sales. That figure could be higher still – if it wasn’t for the question of charging. When on longer trips, drivers have to rely on the public fast charging network. This can be frustrating. Different providers and types of chargers, gaps in the network and reliability questions mean it’s still not as simple as going to a service station.
