A new information website has been launched in Australia to inform motorists about electric cars. MyElectricCar.com.au has been created to bring Australians up to date information on the global and local Australian electric car market.
This non commercial site is a resource centre to bring Australians the latest information on the global surge in electric vehicle development. It provides videos, photos and information on the vehicles currently in production or due for release over the next two years and covers issues surrounding the transport fleet such as health, air quality, battery technology and other environmental concerns. There is a fuel savings calculator which compares petrol vehicle running costs to electric vehicle running costs as well as CO2 emissions outputs.
The site has been developed and built by former CEO and founder of not for profit Carbon Neutral Ltd., Leo Kerr who has been driving an electric car for the past year.
“It is important for Australians to have current information on the global surge in electric car development and its implications for Australia. I couldn’t find any local sites which gave an overview of the developments in electric vehicle technology and covered the issues surrounding the electrification of the fleet. Electric vehicles are the future of transport over the next five to ten years for a whole host of reasons. It’s important the Australian public is educated and prepared for the changes that I’m convinced are inevitable,” commented Leo.
MyElectricCar features videos and roundups on electric vehicles such as the Mitsubishi Miev, Nissan Leaf, Tesla Roadster, GM Volt as well as information on vehicles converted from petrol to electric.

People Plan for Melbourne
Posted in Policies by Devin Maeztri on November 7th, 2008
The Australian Greens Victoria have just launched a new Melbourne transport website and discussion paper called The People Plan. Also watch the The Brumby Mole YouTube video to see more about this plan!
This would cost $4 billion less than the Eddington proposals and deliver a massive increase in public transport usage, right across Melbourne. The website contains a map showing the train, tram and bus lines/extensions/ services we propose. Rationales and costings are in the supporting document. A massive effort is needed from to help communicate this plan to the general public, and ensure it is seen as the positive alternative to driving-as-usual proposal.
Please talk to your workmates, family, friends, neighbours and others about it, and send the website address to everyone who might be interested i.e. everyone who lives in or visits Melbourne, or cares about people and the planet.
Download the Discussion Paper on the Future of Melbourne’s Public Transport System for more information about The People Plan.
