Introduction
In episode #26 I’m joined by the very knowledgeable Tesla Tom, host of the Ludicrous Feed YouTube channel, who demonstrates the benefits of EV ownership coupled with renewable energy household products from an Australian perspective. Although very much a Tesla fan with his Model S and Model 3, Tom and I chat about other players in terms of BYD and Hyundai, and their positioning in the market. Further to this we delve deeper into the conundrum of improving the EV proposition in Australia whilst seeing what one can do at home to speed up the transition.
