TESLA AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE NEWS UPDATE ROUNDUP AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

This episode of Ludicrous Feed Live focuses on the Australian EV market, with a significant portion dedicated to the financial troubles of Tritium, a major Australian EV charger manufacturer. The hosts express concern over Tritium's declining share price and its request for a government bailout, noting that scalability and customer support issues may have contributed to its downfall. They contrast this with the success of Tesla's charging hardware, highlighting Tesla's new deal to supply BP with Superchargers in North America, a move seen as beneficial for EV owners seeking reliable charging. The discussion also touches on broader EV market trends, including mixed earnings reports from legacy automakers struggling with EV profitability, and Hertz's challenges with its EV fleet due to repair costs. The hosts emphasize that while some global markets face EV demand issues, Australian brands like BYD and Tesla remain strong. The episode concludes with updates on new Tesla Supercharger locations in Victoria and the upcoming Model 3 'Highland' refresh, alongside news of the GM Equinox EV launch in the US and a new BYD Dolphin subscription deal for Uber drivers in Australia.
