Canberra to Hobart and return

Many Australians are currently opting to buy new hybrid cars, presumably because they lack confidence in Australia’s highway charging infrastructure. These people should do more research, and a good place to start would be the road trip reports on the AEVA website. We have now done three highway trips in our MG4 during 2024, with a total of more than 6000 km travelled. We have found the charging infrastructure in southeastern Australia to be completely adequate for our needs, while acknowledging that our journeys were not made at peak holiday times.

"We need fewer cars" - but how could we achieve that?

Brent Toderian, in his keynote presentation at the 2023 AEVA National Conference, urged us to re-imagine our cities and suburbs as communities where most journeys are made by active travel or public transport, instead of as communities where cars are regarded as the only viable way to get around. A transition to fewer cars must deal with the fact that in many existing cities travel by car is far more convenient for several journey types, such as doing a weekly grocery shop for a family, or transporting children to a variety of events.
