## Resource

Sarah Aubrey from Electrify This returns to help unpack a big week in EV news. BYD is bringing its most affordable electric car yet to Australian shores, we ask what that could mean for Australia’s EV market. Kia reveals new details on its upcoming all-electric PV5 van, and VW’s ID. Buzz GTX gets a run. Plus: Is the idea of bringing back local car manufacturing anything more than political rhetoric?
