A run of trials through 2026 has largely settled the question of whether battery-electric trucks can do the work. The harder question, and the one now holding the transition back, is how operators get power to them.

When operators commit to electric equipment, the machines get all the attention and the charging infrastructure gets treated like plumbing. We think that’s backwards. How you power a site determines what gets capitalised, what gets stranded, and increasingly, what wins the next contract.

Australia's governments are setting net zero targets and funding electrification programs. But the regulatory framework is actively making it harder to deploy the vehicles and equipment that would get them there.

Australia's fuel crisis has exposed a structural vulnerability that existed long before the strikes on Iran. For operators burning billions of litres of diesel a year, the case for reducing dependency just became impossible to defer.

Rather than wait for the grid to catch up, a growing number of fleet operators are turning to mobile EV charging to keep their electrification timelines on track.

Australia’s EV charging rollout is concentrated in cities. For mining, construction, and regional operators, electrification demands a different playbook entirely.

Most EV charging assumes vehicles return to a fixed depot every night. For many remote construction projects and mining contractors, that assumption falls apart on day one.
