In short:
Australia has recorded its biggest-ever quarterly surge in electric vehicle sales.
Across April, May and June, nearly one in every two vehicles sold was either electric or hybrid.
What’s next?
Liberal deputy Jane Hume says the figures show EV subsidies introduced by the government in 2023 had grown “out of control”.


I don’t think you understand my point.
I linked a very simple electric motor to show that unlike almost any other modern technology the heart of how an electric motor can be explored in a hands on, see for yourself way, combustion engines by comparison are wildly complex and stupendously fiddly.
The example you linked of a transmission is still several steps of complexity above demonstrating the wonderful and mysteriously simple mechanism of an electric motor, especially since the leap to understanding a functioning quadcopter electric motor isn’ that far from the device I linked.
The leap to actually understand a working practical combustion engine by comparison is a vertical wall.

These links describe practical working brushless electric motors superbly, there is no serious technical barrier to understand here because what makes them compelling is their almost poetic simplicity.
