While I watched the chilled host on the Macy’s Day Parade television broadcast talk about Tofurky as a vegan Thanksgiving substitute, I can’t say I was enamored. A little too bland, a little too texture-challenged for me. But this month I had an offer to test out VFC (Vegan Fried Chick*n), the company self-styled as

New green ammonia project aims to connect green hydrogen dots.

TAFE Queensland officially launched its Queensland-first electric vehicle (EV) training program mid-November, with more than 100 automotive industry representatives attending an event held at TAFE Queensland Acacia Ridge to learn about the future of EV training.

As the battle between MG and BYD for the title of second highest selling electric vehicle in Australia heats up, I met with a couple that own one of each. Tired of waiting for the BYD Atto 3 to arrive, they purchased an MG ZS EV 18 months ago and are well placed to compare

When it comes to autonomous vehicles, it’s easy to think of them as today’s manually-driven vehicles but with the ability to drive themselves. And, one couldn’t honestly be called stupid for thinking that, because everything we see now could be described thus. Tesla’s FSD Beta happens in normal cars. Waymo’s vans and crossovers are modified

Technologies such as satellite rainforest monitoring, tree-planting drones and carbon credit trading software are a 'burgeoning market opportunity' for nature-based solutions, according to a new report.

I used to work in the solar industry, so it’s something that is close to my heart. I got into the commercial and industrial solar industry (C&I) in 2015.  At that time, Zimbabwe was going through an extensive power rationing program as the utility was battling to meet demand. This was due to several reasons

How long does a Tesla battery last in Australia? This is becoming more of a common question now that Tesla has doubled its presence on Australian roads. Teslas are everywhere! Someone recently commented that they are becoming as common as cockroaches and cane toads. As these questioners appear to be genuine, I thought I would

The great Aussie road trip continues. Read part 1 here and part 2 here. Our Bairnsdale accommodation was not only luxurious but had Tesla destination chargers. We had a stress-free few days visiting spots around Lakes Entrance in Victoria. We walked out to the entrance itself — a 5 km round trip — and saw

There’s news week after week, or day after day, lately regarding Ukrainians not having electricity due to Russia bombing the country’s power infrastructure. To be technical about it, this is terrorism. It is outside the bounds of war. Imagine going into winter without power or heat. If you want to help more Ukrainians get power

Hothouse flowers no more: floating offshore wind developers are taking aim at triple-digit megawatt territory now.

The production of EVs is a large-scale undertaking that requires significant industrial efforts. To meet the demand, Tesla has built gigafactories in several countries. Other companies who want to be future players are also expanding their global supply and production networks. However, we haven’t seen anyone build an entire city’s worth of production, at least

A couple days ago, I came across an interesting tweet by Rivian Updates. The company asked its fans whether they think Rivian should make its Rivian Adventure Network accessible to all EV drivers. At present, it’s only open to Rivian vehicles, but the stations tend to sit empty a lot. What should Rivian do? #rivian

Reports from China suggest BYD may be the first manufacturer to bring electric cars with sodium-ion batteries to market.

For the beginning of the great Aussie road trip in EVs, you need to read part 1. In Sydney, we stayed with old school friends and demonstrated how we could charge in their garage over the weekend. He is a big fan of Lexus, but they can only offer an EV with 200 km of

Tesla’s premium sound system has been praised for its sound quality by owners and journalists alike. And it was recently revealed, thanks to an Easter egg at the Petersen Automotive Museum that the Tesla infotainment system will soon have access to Apple Music. But there may soon be much more in store for Tesla’s audio

The earliest customers to get access to Tesla Full Self-Driving (Beta) got it more than two years ago. About a year later, owners — like me — who got a very high score on Tesla’s new Safety Score system also got access to Full Self-Driving (Beta), which I’ll just call “FSD” for the rest of
