Impressive! Love they saved $7300 in the first hour of turning on their system.
Businesses starting to see the value in lower servicing and fuel costs.
Its a good thing.
I actually think the EV revolution might pass all the cookers right by.

Team Global Express’ Director of ESG, Heather Bone, said that Western Sydney was chosen for its strategic location to urban distribution areas, allowing for the trucks to increase their own energy via regenerative braking.
“We are delighted to unveil Team Global Express’ Depot of the Future and begin servicing the Western Sydney community with deliveries driven by electric vehicles.
“Bungarribee now houses advanced charging infrastructure fuelled by solar energy, enabling our new trucks to be recharged and back on the streets in as little as two hours if required.”
Over the last 12 months, Team Global Express has transformed its Bungarribee facility into ‘The Depot of the Future’ to house the vital infrastructure required to service the all-new electric vehicles.
The depot upgrade included the construction of charging infrastructure and a battery storage system, which utilises 400kws of solar energy from on-site panels. The installed 1MW battery energy storage system will enhance the depot’s renewable power capacity and reduce Team Global Express’ reliance on grid power.
TGE said it was able to save $7,300 of energy costs in the first hour of the BESS system being turned on.
