Electric SUVs
It’s no secret that Australia is dragging its heels when it comes to environmentally conscious decisions, especially in the automotive space.
But if there’s one way to capture the hearts and minds of the electrically-curious, it’s through SUVs.
SUVs as a whole are commanding a huge slice of the new-car sales pie in Australia, and car manufacturers are now phasing out their passenger cars in favour of more SUVs on the dealership lot.
Electric SUVs are quickly becoming the car to have if you’re keen on doing away with fossil fuels, with more manufacturers releasing electrified SUVs than any other body style.
