The 2026 Melbourne Motor Show is impressive! Huge line up, lots of world first unveilings and more. In this video, I ask show goers if they're planning on buying an EV, and the answers are surprising! I also speak with Polestar GM, Scott Maynard about the EV landscape. And a lot more!

ABOUT
I'm that guy who took the Victorian Government to the High Court of Australia to rid our country of the world's worst EV tax. This was not only unfair and unjust, it was also a massive disincentive for new buyers of EVs and delayed our progression to cleaner/greener forms of transportation.
