Summary
In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Jason Clarke, the CEO of TrueEV, the exclusive distributor of XPeng cars in Australia. They dive into the rise of Chinese EVs, why XPeng’s G6 is turning heads, and how Australia’s car market is changing rapidly. With BYD, MG, and XPeng making waves, how will legacy automakers keep up? Robert and Jason also discuss Australia’s booming rooftop solar market and how it’s reshaping the grid. Plus, they touch on Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) tech and how drivers are looking to become energy-independent. Enjoy! @fullychargedshow @EverythingElectricShow
