AGL has announced today that they will provide $1 per day charging for EVs and the main reason is interesting. It's to use power that is ALREADY being generated.
"If you're an AGL customer, or become one, then we will provide charging for electric vehicles, $1-a-day, all you can eat," Vesey said.
The offer is understood to be part of an effort not only to win more customers, but, crucially, to build base load on its generators. Vesey told the conference that power supply in Australia "way exceeds demand" and that "clever thinking and leadership" is required.
EVs aren't decades away. Handful of years before the Chinese are offering Aussies affordable EVs with a decent range.
