THE LEGEND OF TELEVISUAL TECH NERDERY TALKS TESLA AND THE GREEN REVOLUTION
We’ve just done the second Everything Electric show in Australia and it was three times bigger than the first one – it was enormous and amazing.
They’re on a different timeline to us but the speed of adoption of electric vehicles in Australia is dizzying, because there were none four years ago and now there’s a hell of a lot – it’s really taken off. A lot of the Chinese cars that are just starting to come into Europe have been in Australia for the last few years – they get them early on. Also, they have solar. If you’ve got solar panels on your roof in Australia you don’t pay electricity bills, and if you’ve got enough of them you can charge your car as well, so you don’t have a fuel bill. It’s not fair, basically – the Australians are too lucky in some ways.
