Converting your classic pride and joy to an electric car with batteries is not a new idea. There are several companies in Australia that can convert your classic Land Rover, Beetle, Combi or MG B to an electric car.
Range anxiety - what range anxiety! By Ian Tobin Range beat up! Media reports can cause potential buyers to mistruct EV cars! Today, I travelled from home to High Street, Yea back home and then to the MCG in Melbourne and returned home. It was a good spread of driving including some solid accelerations and city stop-start too. The WLTP test - the accepted standard to measure efficiency across different brands - is designed to reflect real world driving taking into account a mix of driving i.e. around town stop-start, climbing and descending and high speed highway.
2030Yea is now offering a FREE Home Energy Efficiency Advice service to help you reduce your to energy bills and make your home more comfortable.
2030Yea Community Energy, together with the Yea Wetland Discovery Centre Inc held an information evening for Yea residents - 'A renewable future for Yea'. Our two speakers, Dr Lasantha Meegahapola and William Ertler, gave simple and engaging explanations of three very technical apsects of a renewable future: microgrids, battery storage and load-shifting.
If we could shift demand for electrical power to align with solar power production, this would allow more solar to be used ... and demand less from the grid. This is often referred to as solar soak or load-shifting.
Last year, 2030Yea established a partnership with Indigo Power and RMIT School of Engineering to develop a business plan for a neighbourhood battery in Yea.
The purpose of this community information meeting is to provide an update on the business plan for the delivery of a neighbourhood battery in Yea.
Large scale renewable energy projects, including the proposed Seymour Wind Farm, cannot deliver enough power through existing transmission infrastructure. To keep the lights on, we need to build more transmission lines.
The Victorian State government recently listed the successful submissions for funding for a neighbourhood battery initiative – and Yea was on the list!
It is one minute to midnight and time is ticking. We need to get behind reputable renewable energy projects that support the transition to a clean energy future.
