WE HAVE THE DATA!! Huge EV SPIKE .. Brand in turmoil… & Ford’s F-150 BIG Update!?
IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING!! We just got the internal data from carsales.com.au and the numbers are staggering: EV searches have skyrocketed by 300% as the 2026 fuel crisis hits home. Today we’re breaking down the massive shift in the Australian car market, the brands winning the race, and the new National Road User Charge that could change everything.
In Today’s Episode:
THE 300% SURGE: Why Aussies are ditching the bowser in record numbers and the exclusive carsales data showing a 77% spike in early March.
MAZDA’S BIG PLAY: A first look at the Mazda CX-6E — can a Chinese-developed platform save Mazda’s electric future?
THE XPENG COLLAPSE: Why the Australian distributor just went into administration and what it means for existing owners.
FORD F-150 UPDATED: Is the 2026 F-150 Platinum finally “fixed”? We talk to Ford’s head of international programs about those “teething problems.”
THE NEW EV TAX: Treasury is moving fast on a distance-based road user charge. Is the $300-$400 annual bill fair?
📊 THE DATA DROP
We’re seeing a massive pivot toward affordable EVs. While Tesla and Polestar remain strong, brands like BYD, Geely, and Zeekr are the ones actually driving the volume as fuel prices remain volatile due to the Middle East crisis.
