EECA Overview of EV home charging options

The Government Commissioned KPMG to make a report on charging cars at home in New Zealand. I give it a B+ because it is missing a few key points.

Turn the content dryer up to 11. In this video I talk broadly about car charging, and this report specifically tackles home charging, and the impact of peak loads on the power network. When everyone comes home at the end of the day, and particularly in winter there is a high evening peak load. But I speak broadly about power generation in New Zealand. Early adoption of technology, phone networks and fibre gigabit broadband. Used car import market in New Zealand. Climate change march. I comment on a few faults in the report. Used import EV market. Road user charges. Managed charging. Ripple controller remote switched power. EM6Live.co.nz energy market. Generation, lines networks and retailer separated electricity market. School project on electric vehicle charging. Tesla charging in New Zealand. Setting charger timer controllers in cars. The report does not talk about charge timers in the cars. Smart charging in the vehicle itself can do the work of charge management.
