Tesla doesn't support using your EV to power homes or the grid EV batteries have the potential to power a household for days and could even play a part in our future electricity grid. But not everyone supports the technology.

I think a mart legislation would incentivise only EVs capable of vehicle to x #V2X or vehicle to grid #V2G.

Solar Insiders Podcast: Get ready for battery rebates Wayne Smith from the Smart Energy Council on what to expect from the federal home battery rebate (and when to expect it) and Australia’s “sliding doors” energy election.

Wayne Smith from the #SmartEnergyCouncil on what to expect from the federal home battery rebate (and when to expect it) and Australia’s “sliding doors” energy election

The independent MP Allegra Spender has kicked off a major energy conference in Sydney with a call on the Albanese government to fund a “people power plan” in its May budget. With solar panels improving in efficiency and cost, and batteries falling in price by 20% a year, the economics are shifting inexorably towards renewables in the home – especially when power bills have been climbing in recent years. But not fast enough, and many households – think renters – are missing out, hence Spender’s push. (Almost half of those in her Wentworth electorate are renters and 60% live in apartments.) She says: Our power bills were driven up by Australia’s dependence on ageing and unreliable coal-fired power stations and by the price gouging of a foreign-owned gas cartel, but there is a way out. Home electrification is a massive cost-of-living and climate opportunity. But there are too many people who are still locked out. That’s not fair.
