🚗🔋 *Batteries on wheels?* It's becoming a reality! Imagine earning up to $3,000 a year just by using your electric vehicle as a battery, thanks to bidirectional charging technology. As more Australians look to avoid the "sun tax" and take control of their energy, it’s clear that energy-efficient solutions are more important than ever. At #PPMFinance, we’re committed to helping homeowners and businesses make the transition to sustainable energy affordable. With discounted financing available, it's now easier than ever to upgrade to: - Electric vehicle charging stations - Solar panels & batteries - Double-glazed windows - Energy-efficient air conditioners - Solar hot water systems & more You can use your savings from reduced energy bills to pay off the loan, Why wait? Let’s explore how you can make these upgrades and start benefiting from both energy savings and opportunities like EV bidirectional charging.

Great to see EV charging brought into focus for the government, there is much to do in this space. There needs to be investment to improve national energy infrastructure. There needs to be greater confidence in the consumer market and awareness around funding in EV for both business and consumers where available. https://lnkd.in/esmvj_p4

Another great piece from RNZ's Eloise Gibson about our mixed rankings in the global EV charging stakes and the need to lift our game as EVs become more popular (globally, nearly one in five cars sold in 2023 was electric, a 35 percent year-on-year increase).🔌🚙 The government promised 10,000 more public chargers by 2030 and $257 million in funding has been allocated to that goal. At this stage, it's not clear where that money will be spent, but one option that isn't explored in the story is the potential to make use of our 50,000 farms. Farmers investing in mid-scale solar and battery systems could not only power their own machines much more affordably and earn money for sending electricity back to the grid at peak times, but they could also become part of an extensive national charging network and create another new revenue stream. Farms are usually very close to the medium voltage networks, meaning they can scale up renewable systems without physical constraints or undue overloading risks to the distribution networks. https://loom.ly/LmheLlo

We are happy to see the Electric Vehicle evolution gaining momentum with more companies embracing EVs. Purchase rates are increasing steadily, more models, greater variety and improved grid support fuelling this market growth.     However, overcoming the initial barrier and ensuring accessible charging infrastructure remains a hurdle for some consumers.     Now, with companies amending their novated lease policies, more consumers will be encouraged to opt for an electric vehicle. We want to see consumers taking advantage of even more benefits for going green, including cheaper maintenance for their vehicles and less gas emissions.     Our RACE for EVs Program Leader, Oliver Hill, was quoted in the Australian Financial Review on this topic.

Australian Government to announce electric Vehicle-to-Grid household standards Households will soon be able to be powered by their electric car – or sell power from their electric vehicle back into the grid during peak demand – thanks to new standards from the Federal Government. Australians will soon be able to use their electric cars to not only power their homes, but also send energy back into the electric grid during peak periods. Drive understands Chris Bowen, the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, will today announce new standards for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) at the Sydney International EV AutoShow. The new standards are expected to apply to hardware – such as inverters and bi-directional chargers – which enable homes to safely connect to V2G- and V2H-capable electric vehicles. https://lnkd.in/giYaZ2BB

An example of “the cart before the horse”. We need a reliable and sustainable grid and supporting systems largely in place well before the demand is required. We believe in renewables—but the evolution will take way more time than government edicts demand.

To upgrade households to charge EV’s will cost a lot of money. Will the economies of scale of charging EV’s at service stations (as we do with petrol/diesel) mean it’s more efficient to charge there rather than at home? https://lnkd.in/gug5jTsV

Ontario is exploring an Electric Vehicle Charger Discount Electricity Rate as the province continues to support the adoption of EVs. A new rate would reduce the cost of electricity for public EV chargers in areas where demand for the service is only beginning to emerge. https://lnkd.in/eSKnUFJZ #ONcleantech #energytransition #electricvehicles #EV
