A ring-fencing waiver has been issued to electricity distributors CitiPower, Powercor, and United Energy to enable a kerbside electric vehicle charging trial in Victoria until mid-2031.
The $1.2 million trial, issued by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), will include at least 5% vehicle-to-grid chargers and test how EV charging can manage local network constraints, improve voltage stability, and shift demand away from peak periods.
The trial will analyze and publicly report on the results until mid-2031.
