The EV Revolution Is Here! The Future Of EV’s

Vincent Selleck • March 30, 2022

It is now possible to have zero net emissions from electricity and vehicle use, with tremendous savings for your household. Your Northern Rivers Solar and EV partner, 888 Solar Tek, offers affordable EV and solar charging solutions, with low km, near new Nissan Leaf’s at a fraction of the new price. Take a test drive and you will be amazed by the quiet, zippy feel and well-appointed features of these remarkable cars.

The white Leaf is a type 2 with a 40 kWh battery with a range of 240-270 km. The earlier red car models before 2018 had 24 kWh and 30 kWh batteries with 130 or 170 km range. 888 Solar Tek has stock of all models from $22,000 to $40,000.

Join the Leaf EV Revolution

Introduced in 2010 as the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle, the Nissan LEAF has led the way in making the excitement and convenience of electric driving accessible to non-luxury buyers. Ten years later, the increased range and improvements to the cars has led a landslide movement throughout the world for the replacement of petrol and diesel-powered cars in the next decade.


In Norway in 2017, 52% of all new car sales were electric vehicles. Australia is hampered by lack of political support for EV’s with fossil fuel companies donating $1,897,379 to the ALP, Liberal and National parties in 2017-18. Since then we have seen massive new subsidies going into the fossil fuel industries and away from cleaner solar and wind technology, despite a global imperative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.


The IMF says fossil fuel subsidies in Australia amount to nearly $1,200 per person, or a total of $29 billion last year. Despite the massive Government handouts to big oil, petrol prices are rising rapidly, with $2 plus per litre now the norm.

Range and Charging Options

Most people have an opinion that Electric cars do not have enough battery range and they will run out of power and get stranded. While this may have been true years ago, today’s EV’s have larger batteries and more and more fast charging stations are popping up at destinations throughout the country. Not many people have oil wells in their back yards, but any EV owner can have a free solar power station on their roof.


The NRMA has installed 42 EV fast chargers across regional NSW along most major highways including the Hume, Newell, Sturt and Oxley Highways, as well as the Mitchell, Pacific, Olympic and Great Western Highways. EV motorists will now be able to confidently tour the entirety of NSW and ACT. Meanwhile, the NSW Government has dedicated $171 mil towards establishing new fast charging stations over the next 4 years.

Smart Solar Home Charging Options

If you have an existing solar system, the Zappi charger has special eco charging modes which will benefit homeowners with grid-tied solar generation. Charging current is automatically and continually adjusted in response to on-site generation and household power consumption to use only excess generation that would otherwise be sold cheaply to the grid. In FAST charge mode, Zappi also operates like an ordinary EV charging station.

Your Solar is Worth More in Your Car Than Your House

Electricity companies are making a fortune at our expense, and yet they pay us a pittance for the solar power we send back to the grid. By replacing petrol with solar power in an all-electric Nissan Leaf, every kWH of your solar power will earn you 72 cents.



This means that you can pay for your as new Nissan Leaf and solar in as little as five years from the savings you will make from not buying grid-power or petrol.
