TESLA AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE NEWS UPDATE ROUNDUP AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

This episode of Ludicrous Feed focuses on the state of EV charging infrastructure and sales figures in Australia. The hosts express significant frustration with the reduction of charging speeds by networks like Charge Fox and Tritium, highlighting the inadequacy of 50kW chargers in regional areas and the lack of communication regarding these issues. They advocate for higher charging speeds (150kW+) and better maintenance. On the sales front, the report indicates a strong year-on-year increase in EV uptake for October 2023, despite some media misinterpretations. New models like the BYD Dolphin and MG4 are performing well, and the Tesla Model 3 is regaining sales leadership, partly due to significant discounts on current-generation inventory before the Highland refresh. The discussion also touches on the upcoming Subaru Solterra, noting its high price point for the Australian market, and the ongoing challenges with BYD vehicles on Tesla's V3 Superchargers.
