Australia’s cheapest new car is now electric, with BYD slashing the price of its Atto 1 to just $19,990 driveaway. What does this mean for EV affordability and the wider Australian car market?
We wrap up a big weekend at Everything Electric Sydney, sharing our highlights from the show, before looking at an Australian-first grid connection from Ampol and Ausgrid that could dramatically reduce the cost of rolling out EV fast chargers.
And finally, we discuss the ABC’s Four Corners investigation into the cybersecurity and national-security risks associated with Chinese EVs. The program raised some important questions, but was its focus too narrow?
We explore why cybersecurity and data privacy are issues for all modern connected cars, regardless of where they’re made or what powers them.
