What the video says
This is a draft electricity rule, ERC0436, from the AEMC, the energy rule-maker. It's not a federal law, and it's not final.
It would back the federal $40 million EV charging program: about 14,000 chargers, on kerbsides and in regional blackspots.
Federal grants would cover about 30%. The other 70% would come from network charges on customers where chargers go, EV owners or not.
The AEMC estimates about $1 a year on a typical bill, for five years.
Requested in April, drafted in September. The program ends in June 2029.
Submissions close 5 November on the AEMC website, under ERC0436. A final decision is expected by 17 December.
