Makin' it EV Joel Brydon, Nina Drakalovic, Scott Burns

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.
