  I’m with Amber, and while I don’t have a battery yet, their VPP offering does appear different to most. I’d be wanting to check the conditions if this goes ahead as I would not want to sign up if I wasn’t allowed to control when power is sent to to the grid.

  Correct, new EVs have even better batteries than first gen too. My first EV I replaced the battery, but not because they’re was anything wrong with it: that battery likely would have lasted at least twice as long, but an enterprising engineer created a battery upgrade that doubled the original range in the same footprint, and we can expect further improvements in batteries, so I expect to upgrade again in future, maybe 10-15 years, and double the range again.

  Old EV batteries can be reused and make ideal off grid house batteries.

  Have you actually bought a second hand EV?

  I have bought two secondhand electric cars and about to buy my third. Most people still don’t understand this isn’t quite as risky as it appears.

  Haha just read the article, it’s great to see the approval but appalling we apparently have zero compatible cars. I have a JDM grey import with Chademo and that tech has been bidirectional for over a decade. So dumb.

  I think it’s taking longer for bidirectional to be legal in most parts of Australia, though that might be happening soon. V2G is going to be a game changer for reducing dependence on coal, can’t come soon enough!

  Let’s call them what they really are, the fucking tech Mafia.

  I just wish the average fuckwit would wake up and get off Facebook. That’s the sticking point. Imagine the Australian govt banning Facebook: there would be protests massively bigger than over lockdowns. Because so few people could see the danger of a monopoly on how people communicate before people got addicted.

  Best case scenario frankly is minority govt with greens holding balance of power. Much more chance of getting better legislation passed when greens have to be listened to.
