EVs Not Breaking the Grid as Australia's Energy Use Falls 5%

Contrary to predictions that mass electric vehicle adoption would strain Australia's electricity network, the country's overall energy use has reportedly fallen by 5%. Commentators are pointing to the figure as evidence that EV charging is being absorbed into the grid far more smoothly than critics warned, fuelling debate over whether fears about EVs overwhelming power networks were overblown.
Why now: The surprising drop in energy use contradicts widespread claims that EV uptake would overload Australia's power grid.
