Phew! What a journey it has been! As we wrap up our first season of Makin' it EV, Joelo, Nina, and Burnsy reflect on what they have learned so far about EVs, what they still find confusing, and what has surprised them the most through 14 episodes, a whole bunch of fantastic guests, and endless maths equations trying to figure out a kilowatt-hour.

In some ways, Australia is in the future (hello timezone), but when it comes to EV life, we're still a 'few hours behind' the rest of the world, especially compared to our Danish and Nordic friends. In this episode, we chat with Martin Messer Thomsen, an e-mobility expert in Denmark, to gaze into our future and tell us where Australia is headed and what we can learn from Denmark's mistakes in rolling out a national EV strategy.

There’s been some massive news in the EV space this past week. The Australian government has released its first electric vehicle strategy, an official plan of how to make more EVs available to more people. We sat down with Bridie Schmidt, independent EV and clean transport journalist to unpack what is and isn’t inside the new EV strategy. Bridie Schmidt is an independent electric vehicle journalist and advocate. Catch Bridie on twitter @BridieEV.

Our second instalment from the Fully Charged Show. Nina, Joelo and Burnsy chat with some really interesting industry players in the local EV space. The team also give their overall takeaways from the show itself. We talk to: Bridie Schmidt - Independent EV Journalist Jetcharge - Tim and Ellen Smart Charging Solutions - Dale EVEE - Keith

Coming to you from the Fully Charged Show at the Sydney Convention Centre, Nina, Joelo and Burnsy take a closer look at some usual and unusual EVs, as well as having a chat with some the owners. Models include: Volvo CX40 Twin Recharge owned by Evan Smart Car owned by Marcus Hyundai Ioniq 5 owned by Richard Peugeot E-2008 1963 VW Karmann Ghia EV Conversion by Michael.

Joelo embarks on a four day road trip, getting behind the wheel of a Tesla Model 3. Can he figure out how to charge? What’s the power actually like? Is he now running out to buy one? Listen in to find out what is it really like to drive a Tesla for the first time!

Five years ago, electric vehicles were but a glint in Australia's eye. We've come a long way baby, and to help us understand how far, we chat to Bridie Schmidt, independent electric vehicle journalist and advocate who has been reporting on the advent of EVs since 2018. She talks to us about the past, the present, and where EV adoption is going in Australia.

Can an electric vehicle fit your lifestyle? We sit down with three EV owners with three very different ways of using and charging their EVs. Shaun is from inner city Melbourne, drives a Tesla, and uses some impressive street charging. Naomi lives with her small family in inner-city London and has a unique solution for charging her Kia at home. Finally, Christobel turns range anxiety on its head by driving an EV and living on a farm estate in regional Australia.

In this episode we unpack one of the most important 'specs' to know when choosing an EV - the 'kilowatt per hour' capacity of an EV battery. Burnsy and Nina sit down with our semi-regular guest and energy expert Seb to explain what ‘kilowatt-hours’ are, and why it’s important to understand them when it comes to EVs.

With a starting price of just $50,000, the Nissan Leaf is one of the most affordable EVs in Australia. Join us as we take it for a spin with Seb, an experienced EV test car driver. We share our first-hand insights on the key benefits and challenges of driving an electric vehicle on the mean streets of Sydney.

Did you know there is a growing second-hand market for EVs? In this episode, Joel and Scott head to the Randwick Eco Living festival and chat with Anton, one of the co-founders of the Good Car Co - an Aussie startup making EVs more affordable by importing second-hand electric vehicles and facilitating community buying schemes.

Who is disrupting the EV industry? From EV subscriptions to community bulk buying electric vehicles, several companies, established and new to the industry, are disrupting the way we buy and own electric cars to make them a more affordable and accessible option. We take a look at who these companies are and why it's changing the game for EV ownership.

Are EVs a magic pill to solve the climate crisis? In this episode, we unpack where EVs sit on the scale of impacting climate change and whether getting an EV will reduce your carbon footprint enough to justify the switch.

Will you need to sell your first born to buy an EV? We explore the short term costs of owning an EV (the upfront costs and any subsidies and loans available) as well as the long term costs and savings involved in going electric.

Joel, Burnsy and Nina ask: WTF is an EV? If you need a quick cheat-sheet on EV's, this is it. We cover the basics of charging an EV, to figuring out how the batteries work, to unpacking how Australia ranks in EV take-up compared to the rest of the world.

It seems like everyone is talking about EV’s, and despite it being the hot topic on everyone’s lips, there are still a load more questions than there are answers. If Electric Vehicles are so much better, why is it all still so hard to understand? Meet Nina, Joel and Scott. We’re three people living in Sydney and trying to navigate this EV stuff, avoiding the ‘Elon-koolaid’ jargon and trying to make things a little clearer, before we can make things happen.
