The Shameless Plug Episode 6: Daniel Bleakley

In today's episode, EV advocate Daniel Bleakley joins Saul Griffith and Fiona Whitelaw to talk about, how he’s gone from activist to entrepreneur in the electric trucking space, his series “Coal Miners Driving Teslas,” and why bringing smiles to diesel fitters can shift the culture war.

We trace Daniel’s journey from coal country in Central Queensland, then into the nuts and bolts of electrifying Australia’s heaviest emitters. We dig into the economics, the coming megawatt charging standard, bi-directional trucks as rolling batteries, and why electrifying long-haul freight could cut costs, clean the air, and make our supply chains far more resilient.
