    AEVA’s first webinar for 2026 will tell the story of how Western Australia's Great Northern Highway was electrified. The highway is defined by extreme heat, red dust, vast distances, heavy haulage, and almost no grid power. Lisa Marsh (CEO of eLumina Global) will describe driving the highway, meeting communities who have never seen an EV before, and confronting the realities of diesel dependence. She will outline eLumina's pending ARENA application to electrify the Eyre Highway.
