Australians love their big cars. They’re perfect for road trips, towing your boat or going camping. So, as former Prime Minister Scott Morrison put it in 2019, have electric vehicles really ‘killed the weekend’?

This episode was produced by Matthew Ward Agius and edited by Helen Karakulak. Theme music by Will Berryman.
