Thanks to the Iran war petrol prices just keep on rising, along with the number of petrol stations running out of fuel. The worsening fuel shortage has many Australians looking for the first time at making the switch over to an electric vehicle.
Aside from what car to buy, the other big decision prospective EV owners need to consider is whether to get a home charger: do they actually need the EV equivalent of a petrol station installed in their own driveway?
The Iran war is ushering in an extended period of supercharged oil and gas prices. Experts say Australians can insulate themselves from rising bills by electrifying their home and transport – here’s how.
The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has issued a warning to retailers and installers over deceptive behaviour occurring in the rush to get batteries ahead of the May changes to the federal rebate.
Solar battery installers will face new requirements starting in March, as Clean Energy Regulator (CER) inspections ramp up amid a surging home battery market. Nearly two-thirds of home batteries inspected to date have fallen foul of the regulator (usually related to labelling issues), with 0.9% found to be unsafe.
In response to a draft proposal from the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) for higher fixed network charges, new analysis projects that a flat fixed fee for energy bills could disproportionally raise bills for energy-efficient households, and largely wipe out the value of the federal battery rebate.
