China’s LDV T60 power tool has just been sold in New Zealand. Next stop: Australia. Here’s everything we know so far. 0 See 7 pictures The first power line sold in Australia is on track to be on local roads by the end of this year or from early 2023 – from an unexpected source. China LDV eT60 destined to beat the titans of the ute category to the power market in Australia for several years. But an electric ute from China is already increasing production. See 7 pictures The Chinese LDV T60 electric just sold in New Zealand is called the EVT60. However, the same model will be with a slightly different name will be released in Australian showrooms in the next six months or so. Australian pricing for the eT60 LDV has yet to be announced. Initial estimates peg it at around $60,000, which is roughly $20,000 more expensive than the equivalent diesel model. However, this estimate may be understated given the significant increase in the cost of rare earth materials going into ele...

In an effort to decarbonise the Australian economy, much has been made of the need to switch to electric cars. But proponents say there’s a much cheaper and greener EV to consider – the electric bike. While you may have to be on a 12-month waiting list and make at least $40,000 to buy a new electric car in Australia right now, you can get a two-wheeler with a battery for less than 10 cents to charge, pretty easily. Chris Jones, president of the Australian Electric Vehicles Association, says many of us forget that bicycles are a form of transportation, and often see them only for fitness and recreation. Chris Jones says EVs on two wheels seem to be forgotten by policymakers. ( ABC Radio Perth: Emma Wynne ) “It’s kind of sad that these simple, highly efficient and very affordable electric vehicles are so often overlooked,” said Dr Jones. “I think a lot of people, especially in Perth, have always looked at bicycles as a toy or recreation; they are very rarely...

It seems that the Victorian ‘debate’ on Road User Fees (RUC) has been described by the Victorian Government as one of two positions – those who support the RUC, and those who are painted as fully accepting the need for it and how it works, and those who complain and are painted as ‘ tax evader’. Unfortunately, this reminds me of the bad past of previous federal governments targeting beneficiaries for savings through automated (and disabled) benefit accounting systems, while characterizing recipients and advocacy groups as ‘money crooks’ or their supporters. That puts me in an awkward position, because I’m both: support RUC in general and its transition to a new form to include electric vehicles (EVs) when the EV Transition itself occurs (after all, we already paid for it based on distance traveled via a gasoline per liter tax – which will disappear as fossil fuel sales decline) and both from personal experience (and reports coming in from ...

An Australian regional airline has announced plans to improve some of its planes with electric propulsion engines, describing it as the future of air travel. Key points: Rex Airlines has announced plans to trial electric propulsion technology on several existing regional aircraft It said retrofitting would help reduce carbon emissions and could lead to cheaper airfare Rex Airlines says it will be able to swap fuel engines for electric motors after trials in 2024 Rex Airlines has flagged Mount Gambier, in the South Australian region, as one of its initial routes to pilot electric aircraft in 2024, which promises to be quieter, less polluting and easier to maintain than existing jet engines. It will be the first airline in Australia to pilot electric commercial flights. Other smaller airlines say they will do the same by the end of the decade. Airline vice chairman John Sharp also hopes it will eventually result in cheap airline tickets for state passengers. Mr Sharp said Rex had invest...

As for its appearance, it’s surprising how small it looks with no other vehicles in sight. The EQS’s rounded body shape – aerodynamically sculpted at the front to increase reach – visually reduces it. However, in a standard parking lot, its enormous size is quite obvious. Polarizing style. For those who hate it, there is bad news to come: its shape will be replicated in the smaller Benz EV sedan. Personally, I find it attractive and distinctive, except for the rear view, which is a bit bland. By the way, there is a hole in the tail, and a large rear trunk area. However, the nose is stuffed with cooling and electrical components, and remains closed except during servicing. It is very fast and has five driving modes, selectable on the fly via buttons mounted on the steering wheel. The spacious interior is spaceship-like, not club-like (no wood panels for starters), with a large 1.4-meter wide panel on the dashboard, joined by three separate OLED touchscreens behind a...

An electric vortex has been witnessed for the first time, admittedly on a much smaller scale than this. Image Credit: Christine Daniloff, MIT Physicists have observed electric eddies created by electrons interacting in a similar way to water molecules in whirlpools, finally confirming long-standing predictions of theorists. When teaching electricity, a popular but widely criticized analogy is that of water flowing through a pipe, with voltage being the reciprocal of the change in elevation, and current the amount of flow in a circuit. Some students find the analogy useful, but many physicists find it misleading because of the differences in the way electrons and water molecules behave. However, in certain materials, the analogy becomes true; The electrons affect each other in a way that is more like interactions between water molecules, leading to liquid-like behavior. One such form of behavior is the creation of whirlpools, which have now been described in Nature for the first tim...

Mercedes-AMG’s first electric vehicle in Australia is the most powerful local model to date, and the most luxurious – but it comes with a hefty price tag to match. 0 Mercedes-AMG EQS53 2023 price and specifications The flagship electric sedan is only available in AMG form Standard 484kW/950Nm, more power optional Price from $328,400 before on-road fees It 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQS53 4Matic electric cars have arrived in Australia, as the most expensive AMG money can buy today – and the first four-door AMG without a fuel filler cap. While Mercedes-Benz’s flagship EQS electric sedan can be had in various variants bearing the Benz logo overseas, it will be offered in Australia exclusively – at launch at least – in the form of the AMG EQS53, with high-end specs. The EQS53 is the first all-electric Mercedes-AMG model to be sold in Australia; The company’s first electric vehicle (EV), the 2013 SLS Electric Drive supercar, is not offered here.
