In this episode, Jen and I discuss the MG4's debut on the sales charts, tackle the NSW government's controversial decision to scrap EV rebates and confirmation it won't introduce a road tax until 2027. Amidst rapid developments, including LDV's new electric ute and Toyota's future (with a capital F) plans, we explore what's next for EVs and charging infrastructure Down Under. We also find out what people think about BYD's latest decision. Note: This episode is a bit delayed due to my recent bout with laryngitis, but better late than never!

Driving EVs in the Real World | With Neerav Bhatt

The Manhattan Institute's Mark Mills and InOrbis CEO Rosario Fortugno debate the resolution, "Between now and 2035, electric vehicles in the consumer market will disappoint environmentalists by remaining a product bought mainly by the well-heeled minority."

Taking the affirmative is Mills, a Manhattan Institute senior fellow, a faculty fellow at Northwestern University's engineering school, and a partner in Montrose Lane, an energy-tech venture fund. He is author of the book The Cloud Revolution: How the Convergence of New Technologies Will Unleash the Next Economic Boom and a Roaring 2020s.

Taking the negative is Fortugno, the CEO of InOrbis, a company that works to develop technologies for electric vehicle fleet management, autonomous vehicles, and machine learning. He blogs at ApplyingAI.com on the topics of free markets, electric vehicle adoption, and the benefits of artificial intelligence.

Driving Ahead: The Green Revolution of Electric Cars in 2024 and Beyond
In 2024 and beyond, the future of electric cars is set to undergo a transformative shift as the automotive industry pivots towards sustainable mobility. A major catalyst for this change is the continuous evolution of battery technology. Anticipated advancements in battery chemistry and engineering are expected to extend the range of electric vehicles, alleviating one of the primary concerns associated with EV adoption – range anxiety. The promise of improved energy density and faster charging times positions electric cars as a practical and viable choice for a broader spectrum of consumers, further accelerating their integration into the mainstream market.
As electric cars become more prevalent, the automotive landscape will witness an increasing diversity of models across different segments. In 2024, consumers can expect a growing array of electric vehicles catering to various preferences and needs, ranging from compact urban commuters to high-performance luxury cars. This expansion of electric car offerings reflects the commitment of automakers to provide a wide spectrum of choices, ultimately making sustainable transportation accessible to a more extensive demographic. The shift towards affordability is also likely, driven by economies of scale, technological maturation, and governmental incentives aimed at making electric vehicles an attractive and cost-effective option for consumers.
Moreover, the convergence of electric cars with advanced technologies is poised to redefine the driving experience. The integration of artificial intelligence, autonomous driving capabilities, and enhanced connectivity will contribute to making electric vehicles not only environmentally friendly but also technologically sophisticated. Features such as predictive energy management, over-the-air software updates, and intelligent charging solutions will enhance the overall ownership experience, making electric cars a compelling choice for tech-savvy consumers in the years to come. In summary, the future of electric cars in 2024 and beyond holds the promise of a sustainable, diverse, and technologically advanced automotive landscape, marking a significant milestone in the global transition towards greener transportation.

Should Donald Trump Have Been Convicted?

Right now we buy electric cars with 300 miles of range and then almost never use it. How can we stop wasting capacity when we don't need it, and use it when we do? Here's an idea for a different way to think about powering electric cars. 

Eric Sparks has been a systems analyst and solution architect in manufacturing for over 12 years, and is currently getting a Sustainability Certification from MIT.

Imagine launching a modern business where the entire ecosystem needs to be built from scratch – from charging stations to obtaining custom license plates. This is the incredible, real-life story at the heart of our latest episode.

Join us as we dive into the journey of an economist (who remarkably doesn't even drive!) who became the visionary founder of an electric vehicle (EV) taxi company in Senegal. This isn't just a tale of entrepreneurship; it's a powerful case study in the importance of innovation in driving change, especially within the unique realities of emerging markets.

This real-life example perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Flywheel Economics: demonstrating how the flywheel effect can create new industries and economic momentum from the ground up.
