      The Long Term Health Benefits of Electrifying Our Transport System

      As I cycled along the busy downtown streets this morning, I couldn't help but notice the clouds of acrid exhaust fumes hanging in the air from the traffic around me. While the electric vehicle revolution may seem like a distant reality to some, it is - in fact - already becoming more evident in our daily lives. If you ask me, the potential long-term health benefits of electrifying our transport system is a powerful driving force for this much-needed change. Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's remember a wonderful quote by Mahatma Gandhi: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

      Electric Vehicles: A Path to Economic and Environmental Benefits for Australia

      Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to provide significant economic benefits to Australians. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that Australia is heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels, particularly oil. In 2019, Australia imported around two-thirds of its total oil consumption, at a cost of around $24 billion. This reliance on imported oil leaves the country vulnerable to price fluctuations and supply disruptions, which can have a negative impact on the economy.

      What will my petrol car be worth in ten years time?

      The value of petrol cars will likely drop significantly in the next ten years due to a number of factors. Firstly, advances in electric vehicle technology mean that these vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, with many people now turning to alternative energy sources over petrol-powered cars. Additionally, the cost of petrol continues to rise and is expected to continue doing so in the future, making petrol-powered cars less appealing than their electric counterparts.
