Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)’s Post

ARENA is announcing $3.2 million for Amber Electric’s EV smart charging and vehicle-to-grid trial. The Australian-first residential trial will show new ways of increasing value by reducing costs for consumers in the renewable energy transition. The funding supports software development and installation of 150 chargers in participant homes. This includes electric vehicle smart chargers and vehicle-to-grid charging to support the electricity network in times of constraint. Decarbonising transport is a key priority for ARENA on the pathway to net zero emissions. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gzXnqYTV #ARENA #ElectricVehicles #EV #V2G #DecarbonisingTransport

Nice. The app we use on the New Zealand based #Evnex home charger lets us know in detail the source mix of each session, the relative charges & offsets. Good role model.

I wonder what the amperage might be. Probably could open up a backyard welding and machine shop with 3 phase with an EV power supply.
