EV charging stations

The release of Tesla's new electric truck should see an upsurge in EV charging stations.

Solar powered stations should soon be popping up everywhere.

"Each station is connected to Western Power’s electricity grid and most have dual outlets. One of them — at Energy Made Clean in Colin Street, Western Perth — harnesses energy from solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. The time it takes to fully recharge a medium sized car (with a range of around 130 kilometres) at one of these outlets is around three hours, but used to take up to ten hours. Each recharge costs around $2 worth of electricity, which is relatively cheap compared to petrol powered vehicles that can cost up to $10 per 100 kilometres to run."
