"Five hundred Victorian electricians will be upskilled to install and repair
electric vehicle chargers across Victoria under a new pilot program.
The state government-funded $950,000 program will be free for registered
electricians and will begin in 2023 if it receives accreditation later this
year.
Electrical Trades Union Victorian branch state secretary Troy Gray said that in
the 1970s the only people who had solar power were living in “hippie communes”,
but sentiment towards climate-friendly energy had vastly changed.
He said electricians are now shifting their focus away from solar solutions to
energy storage and infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs).
“It’s really been the decade for solar. But the next decade ... it’s all about
batteries, it’s all about electric cars and it’s all about specifically the
charging units that go with it,” Gray said on Saturday."
