维多利亚州审判100个EV充电器,这些充电器由公用事业供资,而不是由客户供资,但不允许收回成本。 Victoria trials 100 EV chargers funded by utilities, not customers, but no cost recovery allowed.

Victoria正在测试一项试验,允许公用事业公司CitiPower、Powercor和United Energy公司自费安装和保养100个负载EV充电器,而无需向客户支付费用。 Victoria is testing a trial allowing utility companies CitiPower, Powercor, and United Energy to install and maintain 100 kerbside EV chargers at their own expense, without passing costs to customers. 澳大利亚能源监管局批准了这项审判,但否认将这些公司纳入其受管制的资产基础,这意味着它们无法通过客户账单收回120万美元的费用。 The Australian Energy Regulator approved the trial but denied the companies inclusion in their regulated asset base, meaning they cannot recover the $1.2 million cost through customer bills. 试验旨在评价基础设施模式、电网电网效率以及电网效率方面的潜在竞争,每个家庭每年可能节省多达16美元。 The trial aims to evaluate infrastructure models, potential competition at the charging socket level, and grid efficiency, with possible annual savings of up to $16 per household. 然而,批评者认为分销商不应拥有收费基础设施,并引述新南威尔士州私营部门的成功。 However, critics argue distributors should not own charging infrastructure, citing private sector success in NSW. 官员们强调,任何更广泛的推广活动都必须在财政上可行、有监管、针对具体国家,不能指望立即扩大。 Officials stress any broader rollout must be financially viable, regulated, and state-specific, with no immediate expansion expected.
