Hearing for Inquiry into Electricity Supply for Electric Vehicles

This inquiry is looking into how Victoria can best harmonise electric vehicles (EVs) with electricity supply and demand, including strategies to reduce EV charging during periods of peak demand on the grid, increasing charging during periods of peak supply, whether public charging infrastructure is being installed at a sufficient rate in different parts of Victoria, the best role for electricity distribution businesses in rolling out EV charging infrastructure, strategies to facilitate the take-up of EV ownership, whether old EV batteries could have a second life as household or community batteries after removal from vehicles and the barriers and opportunities to the manufacture, reconditioning and recycling of EV batteries.

This hearing will be broadcast live.
