And planning should occur before any decisions are made. Buying a EV is very difficult to buying cars in the past. One has to consider a lot of factors more than just the car purchase.

In Queensland that includes knowing it’s not possible to use self consumption of solar PV to charge your EV using a Type 2 charger at 7.4kW. Assumes one has a standard single phase household connection. It’s a novel outcome that (the rules) ask owners of Solar PV with EV’s to pay their retailer and distributor for self consumption when charging their vehicles at home.
