- Do they catch fire?
- How much do they cost?
- Rebates and the Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) exemption
- Are they different to drive?
- How to calculate if an electric vehicle will save you money based on your driving patterns
- The good things about electric vehicles and how to maximise them
- The bad things about electric vehicles and how to minimise them
- How does charging an electric car work?
- Things to be aware of on road trips
- What is vehicle to grid and vehicle to load and how would I use them?
- Can I tow with an electric vehicle?
- Reputable sources of information about electric vehicles.
- Plus much more
Come along to have all your EV questions answered. Your workshop facilitator is Sarah McCabe. Sarah holds a Bachelor of Environmental Science and a Graduate Certificate in Carbon and Energy Studies. She has owned an electric vehicle for 5 years and worked with a variety of organisations helping develop business cases for electric vehicle adoption.
