Vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging is emerging as a practical way for Australian households to use electric vehicles (EVs) as a home-power resource – providing backup electricity during outages, supporting peak-cost management and, in time, participating in broader grid services. While most home chargers and EVs in Australia today are configured for one-way charging, V2H and other […]
As more Australians switch to electric vehicles (EVs), homeowners are increasingly looking to pair EV charging with rooftop solar to cut running costs and reduce emissions. A solar EV charger – sometimes called a solar-aware or PV-integrated charger – directs surplus solar generation to charge an EV first, only drawing from the grid when necessary. […]
Tesla has signalled that its supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) software will be arriving “soon” in Australia and New Zealand, posting a short video to the Tesla Australia & New Zealand X account showing a Model 3 driver initiating the system from the centre screen. The clip – and a stream of test footage filmed on […]
Electric vehicle residual values in Australia are lagging behind their petrol and diesel counterparts by roughly 20%. “About 50% of consumers won’t buy a used EV, even if it’s only a year or two old. That’s a whole chunk of the potential market gone, and any wonder the residual value is low.” Two simple narratives […]
LFP vs. NMC Batteries: What’s the Difference? In today’s rapidly evolving energy storage and electric vehicle industries, understanding battery technologies is crucial. Two popular battery chemistries currently dominating the market are LFP (Lithium iron Phosphate) and NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt). Both offer unique advantages and drawbacks, influencing everything from device performance to cost and […]
As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain traction across Australia, understanding the technology behind them becomes essential for both current owners and enthusiasts. One of the key features that make EVs both efficient and environmentally friendly is regenerative braking. This technology not only enhances performance but also plays a significant role in extending the driving […]
Table of Contents Unlocking the Potential of vehicle to Load Technology Imagine your electric vehicle not just as a mode of transport, but as a mobile power source, ready to fuel your everyday needs. Vehicle to Load technology enables EVs to become versatile energy hubs by safely transferring stored electricity to external devices. This shift […]
