There is a lot of good in Australian climate policy, and some bad. The good news is that energy is on the political agenda this election cycle and finally we are seeing a race to the top. Electrification as a strategy is front and centre. Solar, wind and batteries are the cheapest way forward.

Electrify 6054 crew were down at our local "Neighbour Day" event this morning ⚡🔋🔌🏡🚘

In advance of the federal election where cost of living and energy are key issues, backing household electrification is a winner!

It was a great opportunity to talk with our community about the need for policies that facilitate the transition to electric and for government support that removes barriers so all Australians can benefit from permanent power bill savings, healthier homes and reduced emissions ⚡🔋🔌🏡🚘

Rewiring Australia

Australia has reached the crucial tipping point - 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹-𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, even when you consider the upfront costs.

The average Aussie household can 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 $𝟰,𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 by replacing old gas appliances and petrol cars with efficient electric alternatives. Less drain on our budgets, better for the planet and healthier gas free homes —what’s not to love?

But right now, many people who could benefit the most are locked out of these savings because they can’t afford the upfront costs to switch. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲—𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹, 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗼𝗳-𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗲𝘀.

The future is electric. Let’s make sure everyone can afford it. ⚡💡

🌏⚡Caravan World magazine has been featuring our all-electric journey in a series of monthly columns 🦘🔋 Here's the first article which tells the back story before our big lap actually began and all the wonderful adventures still lay ahead of us. We hope that the stories we contributed have helped to challenge some preconceived ideas and sparked curiosity about how Australia can embrace more sustainable transport and travel.

Former Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison famously claimed that EVs would “end the weekend”. But Renée and Tim McLennan are out to prove him wrong, towing a camper trailer with an EV and taking their family on an all-electric Big Lap of Australia.

🎉 We made it! Our all-electric big lap of Australia is complete! ⚡🚗🦘

Over 37,000 kilometres, from the red dirt of the outback to breath taking coastlines, we journeyed around the country powered only by electrons—and honestly, it wasn’t difficult (and will only get easier!) 🌏✨

📅 Days: 266
🏞️ Route: Clockwise Perth to Perth
🚗 Total Distance: 37,132 km
💸 Total Charger Costs: $2,442

A huge thank you to everyone who cheered us on along the way. We are incredibly grateful for the privilege of having this amazing experience together exploring our beautiful country.

While we’ve been fortunate to be early adopters, the next step is clear: we need to make electrification of homes and vehicles accessible to all Australians. It’s an essential part of cutting our emissions and tackling climate change. 🌱💪 Not only that, electrification also addresses the cost of living crisis by saving the average household ~$5,000 per year on energy costs.

Together, we can drive real change for a cleaner, greener future. Let’s electrify Australia! ⚡💚

Formed over a billion years ago, the Porongurups are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world, holding deep cultural significance for the Menang Noongar people. Known as Borrongup, meaning "totem", this sacred site was where young people discovered their second totem during a rite of passage.

What started as a "quick stop" to visit the Granite Skywalk en route to Albany turned into a three hour trek! Misreading the signage and thinking the Skywalk was only a couple of hundred meters from the carpark, we instead found ourselves on a longer and more challenging uphill trail leading to Castle Rock followed by the final 200m Grade 5 scramble up to the Granite Skywalk, a suspended walkway that spirals around the huge granite outcrop of Castle Rock to the summit.

Ellie retreated to the car upon the discovery of our error, but the rest of us carried on and enjoyed the hike with Xavier practicising his parkour skills along the ascending rocky trail. Our effort was rewarded with fabulous views over the surrounding countryside from an impressive height. Little Xavier loved it so much he took Renée back up the ladder to the skywalk a second time once the other walkers had all disappeared. While happily walking back down hill holding his Mum's hand he summed it up: "𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵."

So glad that this trip is helping to instil a deeper appreciation of nature and our environment. 🌏✨
