    The Government Wishlist Episode

    In the final non-round-table episode of the season, we look at the new government and what they can do. With each guest this season I've asked them the same question "With the change in government what can the new government do to increase the uptake of EVs?" I've collated all the answers and summarised the key themes. What I've also done is asked Matt Adams from the REA to comment on the likelihood of things happening and to discuss what the REA are currently doing in the governmental realm.

    The Australia Episode

    In this episode of EV Musings, Gary explores the electric vehicle market in Australia. He is joined by Sarah Aubrey, an electrification advocate, to discuss the current state of EV adoption in the country. They touch on the impact of government policies, the growth of EV sales, and the challenges faced by the Australian market. The conversation highlights the recent shift in government incentives and the dominance of Tesla in the market. Guest Details: Sarah Aubrey is one of Australia’s most respected electrification advocates. She is a pure force of nature when it comes to sharing and simplifying the facts about accessible, clean energy and electric cars. A masterful storyteller and professionally trained voice-over actor, Sarah captures the heart of every message with ease and a touch of humour. It’s this down-to-earth approach that has drawn a legion of loyal followers from across the globe to her social media channels. It all started in 2022, after reading “The Big Switch” that she decided it was time to act. With a firm belief that all actions, no matter how big or small, can make a difference - she set about getting an energy rating for her home. “When our 115-year-old home got a dismal 2.9-Star energy rating from the Residential Efficiency Scorecard Assessor, it prompted us to begin our journey to full electrification and energy efficiency. Within a mere 2 months, our home underwent a remarkable transformation receiving a 10-Star energy efficiency rating.” Now, she channels her boundless energy for sustainability with a can-do attitude to help others realise their own star-rated dream. With an honest and trustworthy approach to environmentally friendly product and service reviews, she interacts and engages with a diverse, global audience to spread the clean energy message with practical advice. Sarah’s exceptional on-camera skills are a testament to her experience as a renowned voice-over actor. Professionally trained, Sarah graduated from Newcastle University and later the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). Originally from the United Kingdom, Sarah arrived in Australia with her parents as a young girl. Today, she lives in Sydney with her wife Rebecca and their 11-year-old Chihuahua/Staffy Bindi, where she actively participates in the Inner West Council Local Democracy Transport Group and presides over the popular Facebook group, Electric Vehicles for Australia to create a more sustainable and resilient energy future: Sarah on YouTube @Electrify_this on Instagram Sarah's Website This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.
