SwitchedOn podcast: The electrician who swapped his diesel guzzling ute for a Tesla

July 10, 2024 by Anne Delaney Leave a Comment

Brendan Lang runs an electrification business in Melbourne that helps householders and businesses transition from gas-fuelled appliances to efficient electric ones.

He’s a passionate environmentalist who has swapped his Amarok ute for a Tesla model Y.

Brendan discusses why he opted for a Tesla, and provides some practical advice on the best forms of heating, when you need 3 phase power or should rewire your house, how to find a good electrician, and why peer to peer training for electricians is so important.
