Ben and his family in Kingsford are among the first Aussies using vehicle-to-grid charging.
Their EV is now powering their home with solar energy even when the sun isn't shining.

One of the big changes in our energy system is putting families more in charge of the energy they use and produce.
Ben and his family in Kingsford now can charge their house from their car, as well as the other way around massively increasing their options as to how and when they use electricity.
