76. Tim Washington - Vehicle-to-Grid and the Energy Network of the Future
Manage episode 349201004 series 1918697
Today I’m talking with the Chair of the Australian Electric Vehicle Council, Tim Washington. Tim has also co-founded two companies - JET Charge, who specialise in supplying and installing EV Chargers and Charge Fox, Australia’s largest EV charging network.
EVs have been a hot topic in the FIRE Facebook group lately and I’ve had a few episodes on EVs in general but none that dig into the charging side of the equation which is a big part.
Some of the topics we cover in today’s episode are:
- How does a home EV fast-charger work with your home solar system? (00:21:29)
- How will the new FBT legislation affect the cost of EVs in Australia? (00:23:44)
- How much does a EV fast-charger cost to buy and install? (00:26:09)
- Is vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology currently an option for Australians? (00:32:27)
- Turning your car into a money-making asset instead of sitting idle 90% of the time (00:34:24)
- Can Australia’s electricity grid handle the upcoming transition to EVs? (00:46:59)
- Hydrogen cars (01:01:11)
