Ford officially commits the Bronco Basecamp range-extender SUV to Australia, battery-electric vehicles take the biggest share of August new-vehicle sales, and the Transit City electric van gets a $50,000 drive-away price.
Jamie also covers Australia’s half-million-BEV milestone, pressure on public charging and Victoria’s delayed kerbside trial, the newly endorsed national consumer-energy technical framework, Mitsubishi’s Pajero PHEV commitment, and Lepas bringing forward its L6 launch while planning a broader local range.
Australian pricing and timing are separated from preliminary claims and overseas specifications. The new national framework does not mean new charger or V2G requirements have already commenced.
