Last Updated on: 31st May 2025, 12:26 am How does the electric vehicle transition look from the inside? I recently discovered that I have a distant relative living in Norway, Greg Coombes. So, I messaged and emailed him with some questions. I was impressed by the fact that, for him, the EV transition was “normal.” Others, like me, who have been looking on think that it is spectacular. I even sent him a CleanTechnica article on the Norwegian transition. He didn’t react.

“Saying that EV batteries will end up in landfill is a lie. Even if someone took an electric vehicle battery to the tip, someone else would grab it and sell it. They are too valuable and useful to go into landfill.” So says engineer Francisco Shi. You might remember him from this article. Or this one. “Just by using batteries for energy storage you can turn every grid connection into passive income.”

Believing the range advertised, Barry bought his Zeekr X in February of this year and discovered that in the real world of country driving in rural Victoria, the car only achieved about 75% of the range that was advertised.

You’d have thought the Kia EV3 “launch” by a local car dealer at a prestigious sports club would have attracted Aussie car buyers like flies! However, Majella and I attended and were surprised by how few people showed up. The event had been well advertised on Facebook. We were met at the door and issued our wristbands and a choice of beverages. Majella had red wine; I had a beer. Waiters circulated constantly with trays of “yummies.” All very upmarket, befitting the World Car of the Year.
