Like NZ, Tasmania is all hydro, wind and solar (apart from some diesel on the Bass Strait islands.)
My EV increased our power consumption by about 20%. A lot of that has been recouped with double glazed windows - bloody marvelous windows.
Distributing solar panels so that they supply for a reasonable time rather than a peak at noon and most of the EV charging will be in house.
To be fair, I also have to take into account the power used to charge the ICE vehicle battery because we don't use it enough and it keeps going flat...
