E323: Solar, Batteries and the End of the Power Bill
South Australia is producing 150% of its electricity demand from solar. Australia installed 10% of global battery capacity in a single month — for a country that represents 1% of the world's population. Something extraordinary is happening down under, and Daniel Perotti is in the middle of it. Daniel leads future mobility and electrification projects at RAA, South Australia's automobile club. In this conversation we explore why energy is heading toward free and abundant, how electric vehicles and rooftop solar are becoming one system, and what it means when your car becomes your power plant. We also get into autonomous driving, the death of range anxiety, and why the petrol car may be unsellable within a decade. If you think the energy transition is still decades away, this episode will change your mind.
