University of Queensland Tesla Research Program

[muddie]

I saw yesterday that UQ are running a research program to study EV charging habits and the potential for use of EVs to support the power grid. If you join up and are accepted you get a free year of Teslascope membership as they use that to gather the data. I signed up last night and got accepted this morning.
Link to join up below if anyone is interested.

Here is a link to the article I read about it as well if you want to read more before signing up.

Bump for this in case others are interested

Can EV spare battery capacity support the grid?

The University of Queensland has launched a world-first international trial to see if the spare battery capacity in electric vehicles (EV) could be used to support the uptake of renewable energy, support the grid, and potentially power homes in the future.
