•Approx. 50 built: NOT for the feint-hearted, technical and build quality issues abound!WHY EVs benefit the environment
(and you)
1. The environment:
• No tailpipe pollution
• Reduced overall emissions (see also next slide)
• Negligible emissions if using solar or wind and/or GreenPower
• Reduction in waste coolants, oils, brake pads, plugs, & filters
• Some issues re ethical sourcing of some battery minerals – but
this applies equally to many other products too.
2. You:
• Vehicle service costs much reduced
• Electricity is much cheaper than petrol
• On the right tariff – fuel may effectively be ‘free’!WHY EVs benefit the environment
(and you): What are my CO2-e savings*
Tonne C02-e per annum
*Calculations done to Department of the Environment and Energy National Greenhouse Accounting
methodology, using latest (2017) NGA factors data. For full article: see ReNew 143, April-June 2018).WHY EVs benefit the environment (and you):
What are my savings?
Assumptions:
– Renault Zoe EV (133Wh/km)
– 10,000km/yr
– charge overnight only, off-peak tariff of 25c/kWh
– ICE at 8L/100km using 98 RON premium fuel
EV: at 133Wh/km & 25c/kW (off peak) = $332.50
ICE: at 8L/100km & 1.50/L (premium fuel) = $1200
Fuel saving: $1200 - $332.50 = $867.50
PLUS: Service savings: estimate $250/yr
Total saving using EV (approx.): $1120WHEN to consider a currently available new EV (usage): Article: https://thedriven.io/2019/07/17/what-why-when-guide-to-buying-an-electric-vehicle-in-australia-updated/

WHEN to consider an EV (practicalities):
Other considerations:
• Current switchboard and street supply cable needs to be up to providing the
increased electrical load.
See ReNew mag, ed 143 or EVNews (AEVA national newsletter) issue 231.
• Do you have somewhere to charge off-street? (lead safety, strata title homes).
See Renew mag ed. 145 or EVNews issue 234.
• Need to carefully select an appropriate electricity tariff.
See ReNew mag, ed 144.
• You may need to buy extra adaptors/leads to use public EVSEs.
• Can be useful to carry a higher power EVSE for travelling.WHEN to consider an EV (no option):
