"As the recent electric vehicle summit got under way, Dr Jake Whitehead was
sitting in a plane somewhere over the Indian Ocean.

The conference was intended as a reset to overcome nearly a decade of
Australia’s policy inertia on electric vehicles and road transport under the
former Coalition government – but Whitehead, head of policy at the Electric
Vehicle Council, was on holiday.

It had been a dream trip for a longtime EV researcher: three separate stints
across thousands of kilometres in three different countries with his partner –
all in electric or hybrid vehicles.

As his colleagues were shaking hands and listening to keynote speeches,
Whitehead was getting a first-hand education in what the rest of the world had
been up to on the electric vehicle front during the two years Australia closed
its borders to the world."
