The first series of locally built Electric Vehicles are now being manufactured within Australia by a small start up, who are looking to increase the uptake of this technology within Australia. The poor uptake so far has been attributed to concerns over charging infrastructure, availability and cost.

The Australian Electric Vehicle Association Inc. (AEVA) is a volunteer run organisation that works to foster further research and development in EV technology. Today we talked to Queensland Chairperson Graeme Manietta about how this development is increasing better awareness of EV technology and its use within Australia.
