IAG-backed NRMA Insurance (NRMA) has teamed up with tech commentators Stephen Fenech and Trevor Long to unveil a new podcast aimed at educating Australians about electric vehicles (EVs).
The podcast, named “Two Blokes Talking Electric Cars,” is hosted by Fenech and Long. It covers a wide array of EV-related topics, including dispelling myths, sharing ownership experiences, discussing latest trends, and delving into the realities of EV ownership and driving.
“This podcast will bust myths on EV driving and bring to life the real benefits and difficulties faced by Australians who want to make that change,” said Michelle Klein, chief customer and marketing officer at NRMA.
NRMA reiterated its commitment to reducing emissions for a safer, net-zero future, acknowledging the potential of electric and low-emission vehicles in achieving this objective.
As the EV market gains momentum, NRMA aims to facilitate its customers' transition to EVs. With EVs accounting for 7.2% of new vehicle sales in Australia in 2023 and projected to reach around 30% by 2027, the company recognises the growing interest and significance of EVs in the automotive landscape.
“There is a huge amount of interest in electric vehicles, and as new options come to the market, we are keen to help people transition to the best electric vehicle for them,” Klein said.
The weekly podcast is accessible on major platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Pocketcasts, and YouTube.
