Should your workplace consider EV charging stations for employees and visitors?

When we look at where most EV drivers charge their electric cars, it is clear that the vast majority of EV charging will be done at home overnight on home EV chargers. This makes a lot of sense given that most electric cars will be parked for 6-10 hours a night, which allows an EV driver to take advantage of off-peak electrical rates to do the bulk of charging. In many ways this is very similar t how you recharge your smartphone, most of us simply plug in overnight and wake up fully charged.

What's the difference between a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)?

In many parts of the world, entire countries and cities are beginning to look at phasing out, or completely banning the use of traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, in order to meet carbon and environmental targets. We have also seen most of the major car manufacturers begin to bring out several different all-electric and hybrid electric vehicles, some of which have made it to Australia, and others which will arrive on our shores in the coming years. Given the shift to electric vehicles in Australia is inevitable, the EVSE team wanted to break down the differences between the variations which exist in the market.
