Australia's automotive market has entered a new chapter. One where electric mobility is accessible, affordable, and connected.

Employers and employees alike now see novated leasing as the most cost-effective pathway into EV ownership, and consumer behaviour has never been more open to the electric transition.

Big changes. Big wins. Big debates.

August was packed with car news that caught the attention of drivers, buyers, and fans alike.

Here are the highlights.

Electric vehicles have become a familiar sight on Australian roads. More and more charging stations are popping up, new models are arriving every year, and the technology is improving fast.

But that doesn’t mean an EV is the perfect fit for everyone. The real question is whether it works for your lifestyle, budget, and the way you drive. Here are five key things to think about before you make the switch.

But there’s a third option that could save you thousands and cover all your running costs in one go. It’s called novated leasing, and it’s already helping thousands of Australians drive smarter.

Salary packaging can be a great way to save on tax and boost your take-home pay.
But if you have a HECS or HELP debt, there’s a catch – it can affect how much you repay on your student loan.

Fast, fun and full of surprises
