Buy power cheaper at shopping centres?

Alan Kohler writes persuasively in The New Daily how electric vehicles and cheap electricity at shopping malls are likely to disrupt traditional electricity retail to households in the near future.

Shopping centres have unparalleled electricity buying power as well as a lot of roof space for solar panels, so the power will be much cheaper than at home.

A very interesting and disruptive part of this will be the advent of two-way batteries in cars, which apparently aren’t far off.

Tim Washington of JET Charge Australia says a car battery will be able power a house for three days, and he thinks that within a few years people will charge their cars at the mall while shopping, as well as at work, and then use it to run lights and appliances in the house as well as drive around. In other words, EVs will be a way for all of us to get off the grid, as long as we go out shopping...and shopping centres want to entice people from on-line shopping back into their mall!

I love these exciting new paradigms - the car as not just a transporter of people but also clean energy. It is a pity that this kind of analysis is not part of policy makers’ thinking like the Australian government’s recent paper on electric vehicles.
