The former Silicon Valley VC and engineer, Paul shares:

• The $100/kWh battery breakthrough making EVs cheaper than petrol cars
• Why electric vans and utes are the next big wave
• How Evie’s owner-operator model ensures unmatched charger reliability
• The DNSP bottlenecks slowing down national deployment
• Why outdated energy tariffs are the real cost drivers behind public charging
• Australia’s late-mover advantage over the US and Europe
• How the private sector can now drive metro charging growth
• Public charging as an equity issue for apartment dwellers and high-mileage drivers

“If we want mass EV adoption, we can’t just serve people with garages and solar panels.”

Essential listening for anyone interested in transport, infrastructure, energy affordability, or climate strategy.
