Hmm as an owner of a couple of EV’s, I’ve not seen the deals where electricity retailers offer this. I wonder if I’m missing out on something here.
My electricity bills have definitely gone up (over the winter as per usual). However, with roughly 5kw of solar and DST kicking in soon, I’ll be able to charge the cars almost solely from solar.
Cars with larger batteries will benefit from being able to do run around during the week and charge from solar during the weekend. Edit: I’ll note that for me (in Vic) it is still vastly cheaper to charge from solar than to feed the solar back into the grid.
Also, the tax concessions only seem to apply to these when buying new and also when doing them via leasing / ie as a company supplied vehicle. Please correct me if I’m wrong here.
They regularly kill it with some pretty good basics. Some miss the mark tho. They recently had bulk dishwasher tabs that were more expensive than their own brand.
Red Cross’s Rediplan (https://www.redcross.org.au/prepare/) has an iOS and Android app that makes this simple to plan for all emergencies (not just for bushfires).
When I went to a Red Cross course a few years ago, they were big on the pillow case thing for kids - fill a pillow case with your fave teddy bear and clothes. They had ones made up that go through the process with them.
