An Electric Vehicle (EV) trial and an EV Recharging Research Project are being simultaneously undertaken in Perth, both the first of their kind in Australia. The EV trials involve 11 locally converted Ford Focus vehicles, while the EV Recharging Study involves the use of 17 charging outlets (final configuration 23 outlets) from Level 2 AC recharging stations. Data is being logged from both the vehicles and the recharging stations and is transmitted to a server at The University of Western Australia’s (UWA) Renewable Energy Vehicle Project (REV), where it is used for statistical evaluation, analysis and modelling.
