    Electric vehicle uptake in Australia is accelerating as anxiety about fuel shortages and rising petrol prices grows.

    A month into the ongoing war with Iran, new car sales data released today show the share of EVs has doubled compared to March last year.

    The sales spike is just one signal that the country's car market is shifting, with online searches and showroom visitors surging. But as the world clamps down on fuel supplies and households look to lower their costs, experts are warning that now is the time to iron out existing roadblocks to that transition.

    BYD the winner as EV sales hit new monthly record

    Electric vehicle sales hit a new monthly record in March as the conflict in the Middle East sent fuel prices soaring, even as Australians purchased fewer new cars compared to the same time last year.

    Car makers offloaded 15,839 EVs last month, accounting for 14.6 per cent of total sales, data from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries and Electric Vehicle Council showed. That was a 42 per cent rise on February’s record 11.8 per cent market share and came despite overall new vehicle sales falling by 2.6 per cent year-on-year.

    When a used vehicle rolls into a car yard, the usual trajectory for its price tag is down if it lingers too long.

    That is the (almost) iron law of the secondhand market – until the oil crisis hit and dealers started raising asking prices for used electric vehicles.

    Jake Sale, founder of Perth-based MotorMetrics, says lowered prices are not unusual but “up is very unique”.

    MotorMetrics’ live analysis of vehicle inventory shows that secondhand dealers have repriced a variety of used EVs, with Tesla’s Model Y up more than 6% in the last two weeks of March.

    "George" magazine seeing surge in collectibility among JFK Jr. FX show

    Magazines have been somewhat collectible for a while, but we've never seen anything in the non-sports space like we are seeing with "George" Magazine.

    Boosted by FX's anthology series, "Love Story," based on the romance of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, 70 copies of JFK Jr.'s defunct and unsuccessful play into publishing sold on eBay on Thursday alone.

    And since the show began on Feb. 12, more than 115 copies of the inaugural issue from Sept. 2005 with Cindy Crawford dressed as George Washington on the cover, have sold in the $200 to $400 range. One copy, that closed on March 27, had an astounding 71 bids.

    The Most Memorable Celebrity Covers of JFK Jr.'s “George” Magazine

    When John F. Kennedy Jr. co-founded a political magazine in 1995, nobody knew how it would be received. Marrying current affairs and pop culture with the tagline "not just politics as usual," George was a creative risk — yet immediately after launching with supermodel Cindy Crawford on the cover, it made a splash.

    "I recognized not only the reader appeal, but also the advertiser interest it would generate," David Pecker, the then-Hachette publishing CEO, said in an oral history of George published by The Hollywood Reporter. "The first issue sold out with hundreds of ad pages, more than the September issue of Vogue at the time."

    Who is Michael J. Berman, who founded the magazine George with JFK Jr?

    Berman – played by Michael Nathanson in Ryan Murphy’s Love Story – never reconciled with the Kennedy scion after a serious falling out in 1997

    The pair, who met as undergraduates at Brown University, co-founded the magazine in 1995. Two years later, Berman would sell his stake in the magazine and quit, following disagreements and even a reported physical altercation with JFK Jr. The magazine folded in 2001.

    Here’s what to know about Berman, played by Michael Nathanson in Love Story.

    Michael J. Berman owned the Manhattan-based PR firm PR/NY, which he sold in order to focus his full attention on George. He and John F. Kennedy Jr held equal shares in the venture, with JFK Jr serving as the magazine’s editor-in-chief and Berman as executive publisher, per People.
