Yes. We have two EVs. Plus home storage. 145 kWh. We are in a grid outage prone area though (mainly due to downed power lines) not generation. Our system can have a fully bidirectional DC "charger" integrated if we wanted. Our outages visualised:

Average duration of our 31 DC fast charge sessions:
19 min 19 secs (with SD of 10m 48s).
Only time we "wait" is DC fast charging on trips, which is when we are having lunch, or a coffee/comfort stop.
Charge source breakdown so far:

My local.

Our EV charge source stats so far. In 2024 our average home charging consumed 5.36 kWh/day. Home charging is uber cheap.

Here's all the current Tesla Supercharger locations for those with Tesla cars between Sydney and Stawell. It' be a doddle to perform the trip. Even Stawell has 12 x Superchargers. There are of course plenty of other networks, plus you'd stay somewhere with on-site AC destination charging facility.

The primary reason was a rapid marginalisation of cycling in society. There is safety in numbers. Nowadays we have a generation of kids whose parents never rode a bicycle. Society views cyclists as pests, while our driving attitudes and infrastructure prioritise driver convenience over human life.

That's because mandatory helmets laws have been an abject failure of public safety policy.

It is hypocritical for sure but keep in mind the average Australian household net worth was $1.46M in 2023.
"Multi-millionaire Pete" might be needed to make the point.

German grid export/import balance.

Germany are doing well but we should note that Germany is now a net importer of electricity, mostly from France and Scandinavia - fortunately mostly low carbon energy sources (nuclear & hydro). So while 63% of German grid generation is renewables, it account for 55% of grid demand.

Hi all. Beaching again today. 'twas a bit windy but fun
Yours,
Baywatch Beau 🐾

Howdy. Hope this does not become another cesspit. In the meantime, my dog Beau say hi. Our local beach (Hungry Head).
