The EV thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

The new power pricing plans may hit EV owners.  I understand that there will be a higher tariff when a lot of electricity is used, such as when you’re charging your EV,

The methodology might be to force EV owners to also invest in Solar Power systems so they are not drawing everything from the grid  in peak times and create issues. We have generous rebates/subsidies in Australia plus plenty of sun obviously and one in three homes have solar but I reckon the Government would like to see 2 in 3 homes with solar and more battery systems.
Of course market operators would be inclined to charge more knowing that EV owners need a fix of power to run their cars and its a way to make more money especially in the evening when I presume the majority of cars would be charging..
