The Annandale resident will benefit from the 671 kerbside electric vehicle chargers that are being part funded by the NSW government.
When Peter McHenry decided to buy an electric car, he expected to be charging it at shopping centres and service stations.
Last week, a solution arrived before his car: a kerbside charger mounted to the power pole on the nature strip outside his home. Plus ES and AGL will supply 100 per cent renewable or offset electricity, and it will be free until the end of January. McHenry’s car won’t arrive on time to take advantage of this offer, but he is happy with his decision for other reasons.
He has also seen photos of people trying to run their extension cords over a fishing pole to keep it off the ground. “We’re keen to make it a less scary choice to buy an electric vehicle, and we think if we do that … it will accelerate the transition from petrol to electric vehicles,” he said. Plus ES is a separate entity from Ausgrid but owned by the same shareholders and has some shared executives.Ausgrid cannot directly own assets such as EV chargers because of ringfencing rules, but the company has been lobbying to change that. Speaking with his Ausgrid hat on, Amphlett Lewis told this masthead in July thatsuch as EV charging more efficiently and cheaply if they could do it directly.
