    Electric vehicle rebate and 'ute tax' killed off in December 2023

    So your saying that all innovation has to stop because the poor old grid will suffer? Your straw men are all a nonsense, we had a low user rates until very recently when the power companies dropped them, as they worked too well. Stop reducing this issue about having to reduce power...

    Electric vehicle rebate and 'ute tax' killed off in December 2023

    I don't think there's an "I'm alright jack attitude" I think you are projecting a bit there. For instance I put a solar array on my roof, I don't use more for my travel than I generate from that. I know of a few owners who have done similar. You won't get even close to halving fuel imports...

    Home Charger Install

    When I was having my installation done I was told by the installer that the UMC has an internal RCD for DC drain much the same as the HPWC 3 hence the expense for a replacement. I run my HWPC 2 at 25 amps just to lessen the load on my single phase household as we run pretty close to capacity.
