"It was a White House announcement that came complete with stars, stripes and
the US President in a sharp black suit: an Australian company was building a
factory in Tennessee.
The beginning of an "American manufacturing comeback", Joe Biden told reporters
on February 8, standing beside the Australian CEO in a rare show of support for
a private company.
And what was the company at the centre of this announcement? Who had won the
ear of the US President?
Tritium.
Back in Australia, the news created only a sluggish ripple of interest.
Tritium? Who the hell is Tritium?
As it turns out, Tritium could be the most important Australian company most
Australians have never heard of — an example of a successful homegrown business
that's exporting a high-tech clean-energy product, rather than shiploads of
ore, sheep or gas.
Founded by three engineering graduates in Brisbane, it's quietly secured a
large chunk of the global EV-charger market.
If you ever use an EV in Australia, you'll probably use a Tritium charger.
The story of where it came from begins in 1999, with a solar-powered car racing
from Sydney to Melbourne."
