澳大利亚直到2029年才将EV-准备就绪的家用电线规则推迟至2029年,这有可能增加成本,减缓电动车辆的采用。 Australia delays EV-ready home wiring rules until 2029, risking higher costs and slower electric vehicle adoption.

由于《国家建筑法》的更新延迟,澳大利亚采用电动车辆的推动可能会减慢,因为《国家建筑法》要求拥有停车场的新住宅包括备有EV的电路和插口。 Australia’s push for electric vehicle adoption may slow due to a delay in updating the National Construction Code, which would have required new homes with car parks to include EV-ready electrical circuits and outlets. 更新原定于2026年进行,现推迟到2029年年中,仅推进基本安全措施。 Originally set for 2026, the update is now postponed until mid-2029, with only essential safety measures advancing. 电动车辆理事会警告说,拖延将增加改装费用——总机升级费用高达600美元,高电路费用高达350美元——使家用EV收费更昂贵、更不方便。 The Electric Vehicle Council warns the delay will increase retrofitting costs—up to $600 for switchboard upgrades and $350 for higher-powered circuits—making home EV charging more expensive and less convenient. 由于85%的澳大利亚人在家里收取EV,建筑期间的基础设施建设成本低得多,效率更高。 Since 85% of Australians charge EVs at home, building in infrastructure during construction is far cheaper and more efficient. 交通占澳大利亚温室气体排放的22%, 客运车辆占10%。 Experts say the delay undermines national emissions targets, as transport accounts for 22% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, with passenger vehicles contributing 10%. 虽然EV采购可能继续,但缺乏准备良好的基础设施可能使买家受挫,并减缓到2035年使一半的车辆用电的进展。 While EV purchases may continue, the lack of prepared infrastructure could frustrate buyers and slow progress toward having half of all vehicles electric by 2035.
