Bowen says that agreement on new standards means that EV owners will be able to use vehicle to grid technology - effectively using their cars as batteries on wheels - by the end of the year.
I was parked outside work, waiting to come inside :).
I will admit that there isn’t much reason for me to have a car, except for the fact that I take my vehicle off-road on weekends, it would be pretty pointless me having a car to myself.
I can carpool with colleagues or family to work and I can purchase groceries locally. I can also catch public transport.
I pay a large chunk of my income for the privilege of owning a car; registration, servicing, fuel and repayments add up quickly; the money would be much better spent on other things.
For the cost of my car, I could buy 4 PowerWalls and some solar panels; another for our house (which would reduce our grid-reliance to zero), a couple for my Sisters house (which would do the same for them) and one for my mother’s house.
My car is not a luxury car but is a luxury expense.
