In this workshop he takes us, step by step, through his new handbook to electrify our lives.

Saul will make ditching coal and gas simple: where to source electricity, how to heat your home, keep your shower hot, and travel conveniently and comfortably.

If you want to make the switch to a renewable energy life, but are intimidated by the apparent complexity and hurdles, this workshop-style conversation is for you.

Moderated by Stephen Corby, journalist and former editor of Top Gear and Wheels and co-founder of EV Central.

Saul Griffith is an engineer and entrepreneur specialising in clean and renewable energy technologies.

Over two decades in Silicon Valley, he has founded more than a dozen technology companies.

He is the author of three books, including Electrify, The Big Switch, and his most recent release Plug In!.

Saul has shifted his focus from his R&D lab, Otherlab, to public policy and advocacy, founding Rewiring America, Rewiring Australia, and Rewiring Aotearoa, non-partisan organisations dedicated to electrification and decarbonisation and the associated policy and regulatory implications of meeting our climate goals.
