A typical EV battery holds 60-80kWh – that’s 3-4 days’ worth of household power sitting in your driveway.
Peak Shaving
You charge your EV overnight on off-peak rates (roughly 12-15c/kWh). During evening peak periods (30-50c/kWh), your car powers your home instead of drawing from the grid.
Solar Maximisation
Your solar panels generate excess power during the day when you don’t need it. Instead of selling it back to the grid for 5-8c/kWh, you store it in your EV and use it during peak evening rates.
Grid Services (V2G Programs)
Some energy retailers will pay you premium rates to discharge power during high-demand periods. Early trials show participants earning $10-40 per discharge event.
