Funded Activity Summary

The economic value of smart integration of electric vehicles into the Australian electricity industry. The project will facilitate the potentially rapid and widespread deployment of Electric Vehicles (EV) in Australia with considerable social, economic and environmental benefits. The economics of our current road transportation sector are adversely impacted by rising and volatile oil prices. The near total reliance of the sector on an inherently limited and increasingly imported resource also has energy security implications. Road transport is also responsible for a significant proportion of Australian greenhouse emissions. EVs represent an extraordinary opportunity to address these challenges. However, widespread uptake will hinge on our ability to effectively integrate EV charging into the Australian electricity industry.
