About this listen
Episode 20 for February 19, 2026 takes a deep, honest look at the real state of Australia’s EV and low-emission vehicle market right now.
We break down the very first official NVES results showing exactly which 19 brands missed their CO₂ targets (including Mazda, Subaru, Nissan and Hyundai).
Polestar’s biggest-ever product offensive with a practical new 4 wagon plus new Polestar 2, 5 and 7, Denza’s aggressive 2026 plans for up to five new models and 20–25 dealers while already holding 1,000 orders, Zeekr 7X deliveries slowed by shipping and battery issues, Volkswagen’s new Tiguan and Tayron plug-in hybrid pricing for Q2, Volgren’s growing electric bus production in South Australia, the current federal and state EV rebates and incentives that buyers and fleets can still use, and a clear.
No-spin explanation of why green hydrogen as an alternative EV technology is effectively dead and buried in Australia – and why that actually accelerates the battery-electric path we are all on.
