Alright, let’s address the elephant in the room. Aligning government departments and private companies in unison might seem as wildly optimistic as me betting my house on my team winning the premiership this year. However, cynicism is not productive. I’d rather embrace the chaos and get to work, so here is the plan. The shift toward electric mobility requires a sophisticated integration of policy, power, and private enterprise. By adopting the partnership model, governments a

As mentioned, in regional Victoria, the current EV charging network often feels like an "afterthought" rather than essential infrastructure. While progress is being made through initiatives like "Charging the Regions," several systemic issues persist that fail today's EV owner. If a site offers nothing but a charger in a dark corner of a parking lot, how could this be seen as a gold standard moving forward. The shift from internal combustion engines to electric motors isn't j

Overview The long-term profitability of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging networks is fundamentally tied to modular scalability. This strategic plan outlines a phased development model designed to maximise asset utilisation while minimising future capital disruption. By prioritising "Day One" civil and electrical readiness, we ensure our regional hubs can scale seamlessly from initial deployments to high-capacity service destinations. The expansion strategy should be split to ad

Victoria’s transition to electric mobility in regional areas is hindered by "charging deserts" along high-volume corridors. To unlock interstate travel and regional tourism, the state must shift from urban-centric clusters to a dual-tier "charging spine." By strategically placing ultra-fast hubs on highways and fast chargers in amenity-rich towns, Victoria can eliminate EV charger anxiety. Key Points Arterial Ultra-Fast Spines: Prioritizing 150kW+ charging stations directly l

The following observations come from traveling through regional Australia in an EV, and I must say, it presents a unique set of challenges that current owners frequently face, relating to infrastructure, software, and the less-than-satisfactory user experience. After nearly two decades of traveling the globe for work, I’ve seen what seamless infrastructure looks like, and right now, in Australia, the EV charging network rollout is falling short. To be upfront, my background i
