Ineos has established a network of 32 agents across the country, with only four of them in capitals while the rest are located in regional centers.
They’ll stock, maintain, and repair its vehicles, but the company also expects to cater to the seasoned off-road enthusiast by providing open source repair manuals, online parts catalogs, and an e-commerce platform that will send parts anywhere. It is based in Melbourne in the Asia Pacific region.
“In terms of all-wheel drive, the concern about range is growing. An all-electric car needs a huge battery, over 100 kilowatts, to go into the bush and back.”

“This is already higher than what is required here,” said Hocevar.
Hocevar said Uptake is starting to outpace supply with Australian orders behind the UK and Germany. The company expects to ship the cars to customers by the end of the year.
“I think we’ll be fine between now and 2030, but in many markets around the world, we’ll have to adapt,” he admits. Ineos is designing its next prototype using a hydrogen fuel cell power train, and it’s looking for an electric car with a smaller battery that carries the same DNA.

While the pulse of electric car sales is relatively weak in Australia, it is starting to beat more aggressively.
Same car sales numbers for September — a total of 93,555 cars sold that month, a 12.3 percent increase over the year — show that Tesla’s Model Y jumps onto the Ranger’s rear bumper with 4,359 of its electric cars rolling off the showroom floor, causing Makes it third. The best selling model.
The electric off-road sector is harder than cracking.
In the US, auto giant Ford is making headway with its electric F150 Lighting pickup while rival General Motors is making an exotic electric Hummer — a four-ton off-road vehicle that can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds. Another American off-road startup, Rivian, is also rolling out assembly lines.
“Because Australia is such a small market and far from where it’s being built, we won’t see them here for long,” said Alex Ray, editor of specialist website automotivedaily.com.au.
Ray said hydrogen is the most likely alternative to providing clean energy for long-haul tourist vehicles. “In terms of all-wheel drive, the concern about range is growing. An all-electric car needs a huge battery, over 100 kilowatts, to go into the bush and back.”
Earlier this month, Korean auto giant Hyundai and fossil fuel supplier Ampol said they would partner to give Hyundai electric drivers access to Ampol’s AmpCharge network, along with bundled energy offerings for home charging.
They are also targeting electric vehicle fleet owners to provide charging and hydrogen solutions.
