The global fuel crisis is causing more Australians to go out and buy electric vehicles; that’s according to the CEO of the Advanced Materials and Battery Council.
He also went on to say that there is a big spike in demand for batteries to drive cars coming from a range of countries including the USA and that Australia is well placed to meet such demand.
