AGL Group General Manager Jeff Dimery said AGLwill provide all of the renewable energy needed to power the EVs, whilethis initiative will accelerate the shift toward renewables that’salready underway.
“AGL is committed to increasing its renewable energy generation andbelieves it is important to collaborate and implement cross-industryinitiatives to counter climate change. Because EVs charge primarily atnight, they can maximize the potential of intermittent renewable energysuch as wind.”

"Victoria will probably be headquarters for Better Place in Australia," the spokesperson said.
"However, it is a national project. The program will start its rollouton the east coast of Australia, working its way up from Melbourne toBrisbane."

The spokesperson said that Australia was chosen because of its unique geographical situation.
"Australia is the largest island in the world, so if it can be made towork here, it can work anywhere. It is the prototype for rolling outBetter Place in larger countries."
