Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): Transforming Electric Vehicles into Distributed Energy Resources: parked cars become mobile batteries that can power homes, support the electricity network and, in many cases, generate revenue for their owners. For Australians – with among the highest rooftop solar penetration in the world and a fast-moving transition to renewables – V2G promises a practical, […]
Australia is moving quickly to expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging network, driven by a mix of federal programs, state initiatives and private investment.
