If electric vehicles (EVs) stored energy from the grid that you could sell later for a profit, would you be more likely to want one?
If you said yes, you are in the majority, says Dr Jake Whitehead, UQ’s first dedicated Tritium E-Mobility Fellow.
Dr Whitehead’s research examines why people decide to go electric and how we can use clever policy design and incentives to encourage their use, reduce emissions and save our climate.
Australia’s current policies on EVs are significantly holding back sales, according to Dr Whitehead, but he says rethinking our approach to EVs could not only help save our environment, but also hugely benefit our economy and even our health.
