When's the best time to charge my electric vehicle?

About our research 

Using field data and surveys to study electric vehicle (EV) charging in Australia, this research will inform EV owners, policymakers, and industry to support the development of an EV transition that benefits consumers and the grid.

The project was funded by Energy Consumers Australia's Grants Program.
