The Australian Capital Territory , home of Canberra, the nation’s capital, has the highest rate of EV ownership per capita in the country. It is similar to that of California in the USA. At the end of 2023, over 20% of new cars registered in Canberra were EVs. The adoption of electric vehicles in Australia’s capital is double the national average, with over 8,000 battery EVs registered there.
“The ownership of a solar system makes owning an EV even more appealing. We already owned a 10kW solar system and installed a 3-phase 22kW Wallbox charger which cost about A$3800. However, quite a few people just use a ‘granny’ charging cable plugged into the 240V 10amp power point. This is sufficient for charging if your daily commute is within Canberra. Charging can be done during sunny days utilizing solar power or overnight using off-peak electricity to minimize running costs.
Ann details the plans and achievements of the ACT government: “In 2016 the ACT government committed to 100% renewable energy by 2020. This was achieved by construction of solar farms within the ACT and purchasing electricity from renewables situated outside the ACT. The Australian Capital Territory is surrounded by New South Wales.
It will be interesting to see if this effects how other states and territories in Australia calculate registration fees. In Queensland, for example, it is based on the number of cylinders in the engine. So, we have the ridiculous situation with our Tesla being registered as a four-cylinder car, even though it has the power and weight of a V8.
