Are EVs the key to reducing energy costs and cutting emissions in Australia? In this episode, we’re joined by Doug McNamee, Founder and CEO of JOLT, and Rob Amphlett Lewis, Group Executive - Distributed Services & PLUS ES at Ausgrid, to unpack the challenges and opportunities in the EV space. Together, they tackle the pressing questions: Why has the EV transition slowed in Australia? Is our grid ready to handle the surge in EV adoption? What’s being done to make EV charging more accessible at home and beyond? They also explore Ausgrid’s role in driving the shift towards an electric future and discuss the pivotal infrastructure needed to support widespread EV uptake.

How can we get renewables into the grid at lightning speed? In this episode we explore strategies for leveraging grid capacity and local resources to fast-track the transition to renewable energy, including the potential of local and transmission-based solutions.

In this episode we discuss what the future holds for energy networks and customer flexibility. We explore how networks can support customer needs through tariff reform and how aligning network incentives with the energy transition is key to a swift and fair transformation. We're joined by Alida Jansen van Vuuren, Head of Distribution System Operator (DSO) at Ausgrid and Gavin Dufty, National Director Energy – Policy & Research at St Vincent de Paul Society Australia for this conversation.
