Come along to this workshop to have all your EV questions answered:

  • 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
  • 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.

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.
