Sunday Telegraph Article

[Jim Hare]

Sydneysiders- Have a look at the Sunday Telegraph on Easter, we did an interview and photo about the uptake of EVs and the charging infrastructure. I think it's supposed to be in this Sunday's edition.

Will be interesting to see the final slant of the article, my expectation is that it's pro EV but critical of the lack of government incentives and public charging infrastructure.

I tried to clearly point out that public charging is more of a novelty than requirement as home charging typically satisfies about 95% of normal daily driving, but that a strong public infrastructure would certainly be nice, and would spur more ownership.

Anyway, have a look and we'll see.

Will it be on line, Jim?

I wouldn't have a clue Phoebe but my guess is yes. I'll post a link if it is.

Jim we need to change the rental and strata laws to ensure that people have access to charging at home especially if the don't own a garage like you do. then there is the problem of houses without off street parking. looking at council laws to allow residents to apply to put a curb side charger in.

there is a case in canada of a volt owner getting in trouble with his strata group because he was using a strata power point to charge his volt and not the one attached to his home meter. when your on the 5-6 floor running a power point from your apartment meter might not be easy.

I got strata approval and ran my charge point from my meter on the 2nd floor riser using this proposal. I live in a major complex (19 buildings, 850 units) and the committee got behind the idea and approved it easily.16204 EV Charge Point Proposal.pdf (281.18 KB)

Great detailed request to the OC. How could they say no! Good work.
