Building WA’s EV Network
19 April @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm AWST
Join YEP Perth for a presentation and a discussion on building WA’s EV Network, the challenges faced and discuss the future of EVs
Doors open from 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start. Your ticket includes drinks, pizza and an opportunity to learn and network.
About this topic:
Synergy and Horizon Power are working with the State Government to create Australia’s longest Electric Vehicle (EV) charging network (the WA EV Network).
Once completed, EV drivers will have access to 98 EV charging stations across 49 locations, from Eucla at the South Australian border to Kununurra in the far north of Western Australia.
With increased EV uptake in Western Australia, this introduces challenges to the power network not previously seen.
About this event:
This event will present on topics such as operational experiences of the early stages of the EV charging network, the status of V2G’s and the future of the EV Charging Network in WA.
Presenting will be:
- Dan Healy, EV Project Manager, Horizon Power
- Guy McHugh, EV Project Manager, Synergy
