Crowned: An electric vehicle was named Australia’s car of the year, beating a competitive line-up of petrol, diesel and other EVs for the title.

The Kia EV6, a battery-powered SUV, won the title from Carsales, defeating a field of 12 vehicles, in what one judge said should prove a point to "anyone who doubts the ability of EVs to be engaging to drive".

Popular choice: Speaking of electric vehicles, more than 1 million Australians are currently in the market for an EV and one in every three would be interested in investing if smart charging stations were available close to their home, new research from Telsyte found.

Bye-bye: One of Australia’s first meal delivery services has shut down, effective immediately, putting 15,000 people out of a job.

Deliveroo told customers they could no longer place orders with the service after the company went into voluntary administration.

Deliveroo said it could no longer operate without making a significant investment in Australia to challenge its competitors.

Side hustle: An online marketplace aiming to be the "Airbnb for swimming pools" is diving into the Australian market.
