A Brisbane vehicle remanufacturing company called BossCap has collapsed — and up to 100 jobs now appear to be at risk.BossCap’s AusEV division built its business around converting the Ford F-150 Lightning to right-hand drive for Australia. But when Ford ended production of the current-generation Lightning, that supply pipeline appears to have fallen apart — and with it, the foundation of the business.This video is about more than one company going under.It’s about what happens when a niche

Taxpayers Paid $1.5 Million For The Dumbest EV...

AutoExpert ·

2026/04/06

This is what “the future” looks like when governments, green lobbyists and EV true believers get together with your wallet.At Sierra in Hawthorn, Melbourne, taxpayers helped fund a $1.5 million EV charging retrofit for an upscale apartment complex. The headline sounds impressive. The reality? A ceiling full of ordinary power points, a load-management system, and a setup that can only trickle charge a limited number of EVs at a time in rotating 10-minute intervals when demand is high.In other words:

Chery has officially revealed the KP31 concept ute for Australia — and the headline is a 2.5L turbo-diesel PHEV with a claimed 47% thermal efficiency.That’s not just another me-too dual-cab. If Chery executes this properly, it could be a genuinely disruptive ute: diesel torque + towing credibility + hybrid assist for better urban efficiency.In this video I break down:why this is probably a diesel-led hybrid (not a Shark 6-style setup)the most likely powertrain layoutwhat the 47% thermal efficiency

If you’ve ever wanted to give low-carbon steel a tougher, darker, more interesting finish in the home workshop, this video shows you how to hot-blue steel with a blowtorch and linseed oil.This is a simple, old-school workshop finish that can look fantastic when done properly. It’s not magic, and it’s not the same as a factory gun-bluing process — but for the right project it can give mild steel a dark, rich, characterful finish with minimal equipment.In this video I cover:how to hot-blue low-carbon

Hot to tow legally: You MUST crunch these numbers

AutoExpert ·

2026/02/07

A huge proportion of people who tow 2 tonnes+ are doing so illegally - unwittingly, perhaps, but still illegally. I suspect the percentage of illegality grows considerably with the weight of the trailer, too.This has obvious legal and safety implications. And of course manufacturers are in an 'arms race' where 3.5-tonne tow capacity is not just the 'gold standard' - they know they're not selling as many cars as they could if they don't offer that.Compliance is not as

A viewer asked me recently an innocent, and seemingly simple, question: Why are EV fires in the news all the time, and yet power tool batteries (which use the same fundamental tech) are so ubiquitous and seemingly safe? The answer opens a wormhole into the non-linearity of complex systems and failure mechanisms.Prepare to bleed from the ears.

The 'fix' (if you can call it that) is to refrain from charging beyond 70%, indefinitely.But that's OK because ... net zero. Obviously.
