Your questions answered: What bone do you have to pick with EVs?
We asked our audience and the broader carsales community the question ‘What bone do you have to pick with EVs?’ and wow, you all had plenty to say! From questions about whether 'electric Jesus' (Elon) is leading a cult and if there should be a road-user charge, to charging headaches and environmental concerns - our mailbag was overflowing! So, we brought in the big guns to tackle these topics: Tim Washington, CEO of JET Charge, brings years of industry insight to the table and explains why you might not want a charger on every street and why Gen Z just doesn’t care if an EV sounds cool or not. Also on the roster, motoring journalist Toby Hagon, who amongst other achievements has driven a Porsche Taycan across the desert, breaks down why sustainability is a hot topic in the automotive space, busts myths about EV fires, and much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hydrogen vs Battery: which powertrain will power the future?
With new hydrogen FCEV’s coming to market soon, the question of whether hydrogen vehicles will revolutionise electric mobility is top of mind for many EV drivers who have already chosen the battery electric route. Rusty and Nadine explore both sides of the coin, discovering that there isn't a simple answer. To test the Hydrogen vs. Battery argument, they speak with David Dorall, CEO of electric aviation company Dovetail, which is pushing both technologies to new heights. Dorall discusses his company’s technology, the current capabilities of batteries in an aviation setting, and how hydrogen fuel cells may come into play. Adjunct Professor Gail Broadbent from UTS then delves deeper into hydrogen fuel cells and the economics of hydrogen production. While it seems hydrogen is best suited to heavy vehicles and mass transport in the short term, Rusty and Nadine remain curious. They take a virtual drive in the Toyota Mirai to experience firsthand how a FCEV looks, feels, and drives. To watch the carsales review on the Toyota Mirai, head to the carsales youtube channel here.
