Imagine a world where a car doesn’t just get you from A to B, but also powers your home or workplace and supports a cleaner energy grid. You buy a car and you get a mobile power plant thrown in, which can power your property and/or the electricity grid. This is the promise of vehicle-to-grid …
Community renewable energy projects are evolving beyond simply generating clean electricity. Across Australia and the globe, innovative initiatives are integrating shared electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure, powered by renewable sources like solar, into their community energy models. This exciting convergence offers a powerful solution to reduce carbon emissions, lower energy costs, and foster stronger, …
Many people are not clear about how much time is needed to charge an EV. One of the most common questions we get about electric vehicles is “How long does it take to “fill” them up?” and how will this affect the use of the vehicle by staff? It’s an important question for non profits …
Updated: December 2025 As the world increasingly takes action to tackle the climate emergency, one technology set to make a massive difference in the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere is that of electric vehicles. Thanks to green energy innovations and emerging renewable technologies, electric vehicles have also come a long way over …
With the world progressing ever more decisively towards decarbonisation, thankfully, within the transportation industry, many automotive manufacturers have committed to transitioning their vehicle offerings to electric rather than internal combustion-based vehicles, paving the way for a greener future. As such, a new variety of commercial electric vehicles have been developed and are coming to market. …
Climate change is a global challenge that demands local solutions. We need to, decarbonise, shift rapidly to net zero and support the uptake of renewable energy, energy efficiency, electrification of vehicles, plus opportunities which will see use reduce carbon emissions immediately. Citizens Own Renewable Energy Network Australia (CORENA) is an Australian renewable energy and community …
With the rise of electric vehicle technology and an ever-increasing uptake by the public, there are many electric vehicle benefits for organisations that you might not be aware of. CORENA works with a wide range of not for profits, social enterprises and community organisations, many of which use vehicles in their operations. These include delivery …
Solar energy has grown massively over the last decade in Australia. More recently, electric vehicles (EVs) have taken off thanks to an increase in availability and a decrease in cost. With a need for all businesses to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, using solar panels to charge electric vehicles is a great way to tackle …
Organisations and individuals have a role to play in reducing emissions and tackling the climate crisis. But that doesn’t mean it has to be difficult. There are some relatively easy ways to green your workplace, as well as help reduce your emissions and become more environmentally friendly. Best of all – you’ll become more energy …
CORENA works with a wide range of not for profits, providing interest-free loans to install solar panels. Solar panels can provide many benefits to organisations who install them – often drastically reducing their carbon footprint and operating costs. Once solar panels are installed it is important to do a few key things to make the …
