This is one of the biggest questions circling the internet and EV world right now, “when is the right time to make the switch”. The answer is, when it’s most beneficial for you.  There are multiple factors that need to be considered when choosing when the right time is for you. This article is to make you aware of those factors, things you may not have thought about yet, and help guide you in finding the right time to make the switch.

At Vyro, our commitment to safety extends beyond providing exceptional electric vehicles (EVs) to our customers. We believe in actively supporting the education and preparedness of first responders when it comes to handling EV incidents. Recently, we had the privilege of collaborating with the NSW Rural Fire Service (Hornsby/Ku-ring-gai District) by supplying two EVs for training scenarios. This event allowed us to contribute to the enhancement of firefighting crews' skills in responding to EV incidents while emphasizing the importance of safety, equipment, and training. In this article, we will delve into the significance of this collaboration and highlight the role of Vyro in promoting safety for all stakeholders.

With the uptake of electric vehicles and the FY24 upon us, we wanted to give you an easy guide on what's happening with the incentives in Australia to go electric.

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."

Australia is making significant strides toward a future of electric mobility, and the growth of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to continue in the coming years. Recent statistics show that Australia sold 33,410 new EVs in 2022, which is a promising sign for the future of sustainable transportation in the country. The government, businesses, and consumers alike are increasingly recognizing the benefits of EVs, from reduced emissions to lower fuel costs. In this blog post, we will explore the future of electric vehicles in Australia, looking at sales projections, new models set to hit the market, advances in charging infrastructure, and government incentives.

Are you considering ditching your gas-guzzling car and making the switch to an electric vehicle (EV)? If so, you're not alone. The EV market in Australia is rapidly growing, and for good reason. Not only are EVs better for the environment, but they're also becoming more affordable than ever before.

As the search for sustainable transportation options continues, hydrogen fuel cell technology has gained a lot of attention in recent years. Proponents of hydrogen vehicles claim that they have several advantages over electric vehicles, including longer range and faster refuelling times. However, the reality is that hydrogen vehicles are still very much in their infancy and face several challenges that may prevent them from becoming a mainstream mode of transportation.

Electric vehicle (EV) batteries can be used as virtual power plants (VPPs) to stabilise the energy grid by providing a source of stored energy that can be dispatched back into the grid as needed. This can help to balance the supply and demand of electricity on the grid, which is essential for maintaining a stable and reliable power system.

Electric car batteries are an increasingly important aspect of the push towards sustainable transportation. These batteries are responsible for powering electric vehicles (EVs) and are a key component in the shift away from internal combustion engines (ICE). While electric car batteries offer numerous environmental benefits, their production does involve the mining of natural resources. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the chemical composition of electric car batteries, where and how they are sourced, and the overall environmental benefits of EVs.

Electric vehicles, or EVs, are becoming an increasingly popular choice for many people looking to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on fuel costs. One important feature of EVs that helps to make them more efficient is regenerative braking.

Have you ever noticed that electric cars in Australia don't come with a spare tire? If so, you're not alone. Many electric car owners have wondered why their vehicle doesn't come with a spare, especially since most gasoline-powered cars do. There are a few reasons why electric cars in Australia may not come with a spare tire:

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.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to significantly increase the uptake and development of renewable energy. Here's why:

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.
