Using wind, solar, or hydropower to fuel an electric vehicle is set to become easier in Australia, with the launch of next-generation car-charging technology.

New Zealand startup Evnex on Thursday revealed plans to launch its latest smart charger in Australia, promising it could provide users with data on when electricity in the national grid is both greenest and cheapest.

The launch comes after a Queensland study by two energy providers found electric vehicle owners were highly responsive to changing electricity prices and sources, with many choosing to recharge vehicles during the day or in the middle of the night.

Evnex chief executive Ed Harvey said the Christchurch-based company had decided to launch its next charger in Australia to help EV owners use the most eco-friendly power sources.
