How Australia can lead the electric vehicle revolution
To name your story, you have to think about the overall message and what you want your audience to understand from the story. Also, make it relevant and easy to remember.
How to fix it?
The ending of a story is essential. We all know that if the ending is weak, what happened before loses its importance. So make it unpredictable, but fair. A resolved ending answers all the questions and ties up any loose threads from the plot.
Perception
There also needs to be consumer education around the total cost of ownership over the lifespan of an electric vehicle as well as around options like leasing. Again, government support and initiatives would make a huge difference here.
Cost
This is the closure section of the story.
See examples of possible outcomes below:
- all problems have been solved
- it's clear how each one of your characters ends up
- your main character is transformed by the challenge
It’s also clear that without a government-backed program of incentives
Australians’ adoption of electric vehicles will remain far behind that of
our European counterparts. “Green” initiatives, grants, incentives for
buyers and users as well as encouraging private sector investment
could all help Australia become a leader in the region with EV adoption.
Try answering these questions to come up with a closure:
- Have all the problems been solved?
- Is there a clear picture of what happens with each character in the story?
- Has the challenge transformed your main character?
- How do the characters feel in the end?
Chargers
This is the moment when the main character surpasses the last obstacle and finally faces their greatest challenge.
The climax usually follows one of these patterns:
- realization
- resolution
- choice
Type in your answer.
Very little material progress seems to have been made since then.
The Australian Government needs to act now if it wants to nurture this nascent market.
They need to back projects like Evie Network’s.
Situation
In the beginning of the story (or the exposition), you will need to introduce the setting and characters. You might also want to introduce the main conflict. This part of the story is important because it gives the reader necessary background information and maybe even a first insight into a character’s personality.
A recent report by Australia’s Electric Vehicle Council shows the range of EV models has increased significantly this year so I would suggest that there is simply not enough promotion of the choices available for those interested in EVs whether they be four or two wheeled.
EV drivers and riders need predictable easy access to free charging stations whether they are charging daily or weekly and we simply do not have that yet in Australia with fewer than 800 charging points across the country. Compare that with Germany which has 20,000 charging stations and whose Chancellor Angela Merkel announced this month a plan to have a million by 2030.
According to the ABS, the average Australian commutes a distance of 16 kilometres a day – a very easy distance for a two or four-wheeled electric vehicle. In Sydney and Melbourne, many commuters could manage the working week without having to charge their vehicle.
While the rest of the world seems to be surging ahead with its embrace of electric vehicles (EVs), Australia seems to be largely oblivious. A recent Nielsen survey shone a spotlight on our pace of adoption compared to our European counterparts and their nervousness around the sector.
Characters are essential to a good story. Usually, the protagonist(s) is/are the most affected by the plot. Introduce a character by focusing on their actions, interests, and occupation, as the physical appearance doesn't make a difference in most cases.
