Thank you, I messaged AGL, and after many messages, they said the I can still qualify for the electric car trial.
So I am waiting to so if I can get a smart charger from AGL. Hoping to hear something in the early new year.

That bodes well for me then as I’m in the same boat with you. I’m also on the AGL VPP program 😊

Thanks @David_AGL 🙂

I'm looking to be on the V2H trial myself, for the Nissan Leaf.

Charge off panels in the day, discharge into the house overnight.  Would love to see how this goes!

Following this thread with extreme interest, I have a 2021 Outlander PHEV and just want to make the most use of the technology available.

Disappointed to read the Outlander PHEV is excluded from the project.

Just some updates.
AGL contacted me last week about the EV Smart charging trial. This is the first phase which covers the installation of the Schneider EV Charger. 

I asked about the V2G phase (which won’t happen so soon), after some checking, even though I have a Nissan Leaf, with it being an older model it wouldn’t be eligible. 

After some questions, explanations of terms of the agreements etc, I was told I’m eligible and I opted in for the first phase.
They contacted me later with further instructions and I took some picture of the meterboard, intended place of installation etc and sent it to them. 

Will now wait for the installers to contact me. 

Thanks for posting your experience, very helpful!

I had similar experience, except the Leaf I own is eligible, so am getting a callback ~late June.

Thanks AGL 🙂

Any updates on what is happening to the EV charging trial?

Thanks

I initially had my install scheduled by JetCharge for next week. But there’s been a slight delay in the delivery of the Schneider EVlink Wallbox (mainly due to my vehicle using a Type 1 plug). 
It’s been rescheduled to the last week of April. 

Hi,

I am awaiting a call to schedule wallbox fitment. The email I got for further information on router and timeframes landed in my junk mail so it has been delayed through no ones fault. Hopefully jetcharge will organise me a fitment time soon.

Thanks for your reply liam1, it would be great if I/we could know earlier than March as I have purchased an EV and need to arrange a higher capacity charger than my current 10A wall plug. And would like a smart charger from AGL if possible. It is just a long time to wait, not knowing if I will be in the program. Definitely don't mind waiting if I knew I was in the program.

Just some feedback and I hope this makes sense.

Hey @liam1 🙂  Happy new Year!

There's a lot of us excited about this trial, can you give us an update on what the next steps will be from AGL?

Good to hear the trial time is getting close. Be exciting to develop with AGL given the opportunity and bring Australia closer to leading the charge with our climate purpose built for reducing our emissions.:).

Hi @Stephen2Aus , a lot of us are excited about it too. I think @liam1 may still be out of the office (but hopefully not stranded by travel restrictions like I currently am!).

I'm sure he'll be back around here shortly to share any updates he has.

@David_AGL sorry to hear that...  Me & family came back from living in USA in early April.  Best decision ever.

Hope it works out for you soon mate
