In the first half of 2023, electric vehicle (EV) new car sales jumped to 8.4%, a 120% increase on 2022*, with one EV model now Australia’s best-selling passenger vehicle. 

With the first episode of season 2, Watts Under the Bonnet delves into the world of electric vehicles as sales and consumer interest in Australia are at an all-time high.

Co-hosted by well-respected motor racing journalist, commentator and host of LiSTNR’s Rusty’s Garage, Greg ‘Mr Motorsport’ Rust, and carsales’ Consumer Editor, Nadine Armstrong, the podcast will keep listeners up-to-date with the latest developments in the world of electric vehicles.   

There are 28 episodes this time around, with subjects covering the hottest EV releases and common EV myths busted to what it’s like swapping the bowser for the battery - all with expert insight into electrified motoring.

Host Greg Rust has just finished wrapping up at the Melbourne EV show with friend and co-host of Watts Under the Bonnet, Nadine Armstrong.

“It was a great reminder of the thirst for knowledge in this space which underscores the rapid growth we’re seeing in EV sales. It really was the perfect lead-in for season two[…]and gave us a better sense of what listeners want to know more about,” Rust says.

Carsales Consumer Editor and Watts Under the Bonnet co-host, Nadine Armstrong, says the launch has come at a good time with people hungry for knowledge on the EV landscape.

“Relative newcomers to the EV world have embraced new technologies, new habits and are now advocates for greener living. We hope to inform those who are still considering an EV or want to learn more about EVs. This season also covers all things hybrid, plug-in hybrid and other electric vehicles.”
