Everything we know about the upcoming NSW Home Battery Rebate.
Last week Chris Bowen (the climate change energy minister), officially announced plans to increase EV sales by imposing carbon penalties, in hopes to reduce vehicle emissions.
The announced plan consists of implementing emission penalties on new emission vehicles, to boost the growth of the EV market.
As of now, Australia does not have developed fuel efficiency standards, and Bowen has said that it is time to start seriously discussing
the outlines of the standards and how they may improve the flow of EV's to the market.
As of this article, Australia is the only country within the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) that has not
implemented fuel efficiency standards.
"while standards must be designed specifically for Australia, standards that lack ambition will leave us at the back of the global
queue for cheaper, cleaner vehicles. we do need to aim for as close to best practice as is achievable.”
What is a fuel efficiency standard? Fuel efficiency refers to the exchange of fuel energy into the movement of the vehicle. The standards are set in place for the manufacturers to reduce the emissions used by a vehicle, to incentivise them to create more fuel efficient vehicles.
Bowen also mentioned that because of the absence of standards, EV manufacturers have prioritised markets with standards already in place, causing delays in Australia.

When looking to upgrade your system, should you replace an older solar system, upgrade it with more panels, or install a home battery to store excess energy?
Though bidirectional charging isn't available, vehicle-to-grid is already turning heads in Australia with its potential to change energy consumption and distribution.
Discover the difference between power and energy in electricity and how solar and batteries are measured differently for homes and properties across Australia.
With the uptake of solar and battery systems, Microgrids, Virtual Power Plants, and Distributed energy resources are becoming more apparent. What are they?
To put simply, whilst both are a current of electricity, DC (direct current) only flows in one direction, whilst AC (alternating current) flows both directions.
