• What’s the differences in vehicle to load, vehicle to grid, and vehicle to home?
• Do I need solar to charge my EV?

Speaker:

Dr Steven Du, a Sydney-based dentist with nearly 30 years of clinical experience, is a tireless advocate for sustainability, electrification and all forms of electric vehicles. As Vice Chair of the Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA) and the NSW Representative of the Tesla Owners Club of Australia (TOCA), Dr. Du plays a pivotal role in promoting the adoption of EVs and sustainable lifestyles. His commitment to these causes is further demonstrated through his involvement with Climate Action Burwood-Canada Bay and his key role in organizing the highly successful Smart Energy Expo at MLC School in Burwood.

As a refugee of the Vietnam War, Dr. Du has a personal mission to prevent catastrophic climate change-induced refugee crises. Grateful for the support of the Australian community and host families that helped his family settle in Australia, Dr. Du has dedicated himself to giving back. He served as a Lieutenant in the Royal Australian Navy and worked as a dentist in remote NSW towns and public hospitals. Currently in private practice, he continues to mentor recent dental graduates and volunteers his time to provide free dental treatment for marginalised communities, including asylum seekers, the unemployed, victims of domestic violence, and those unable to access timely public health services.
