In this episode, our guest is Grant Mitchell, an entrepreneur
and electric vehicle expert with deep roots in the transport and
logistics sector. Grant shares decades of experience and offers a
rich perspective on the evolution of electric trucks—from early
forklift applications to cutting-edge battery-swapping technology
and autonomous freight solutions.
We explore how Australia compares with global leaders like China in
EV truck adoption, why battery chemistry (especially LFP) matters,
and how companies like Janus Electric and Windrose are innovating
retrofit and design strategies. Grant also dives into the economics
of EV trucks, the role of local manufacturing, and the shift away
from hydrogen in heavy transport.
Whether you're a policymaker, entrepreneur, or simply curious about
the electrification of logistics, this conversation delivers sharp
insights into the future of sustainable freight.
