Be Part of the Electric Revolution

The Electric Viking's Youtube channel

Rohan has worked in the energy industry for the past 10+ years, across energy retail, distribution, and generation. His EV journey started back in 2017, where Rohan led the first energy retail home EV charging proposition at AGL (“$1 a day” home charging product), and then went on to manage an ARENA funded smart home charging trial “EV Grid” at Jemena electricity network, in collaboration with four other Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSP). He is now at RACV leading the home and commercial EV charging product portfolio. Personally, Rohan is extremely passionate about EVs and has been driving his BMW i3 since 2018, which is mostly charged at home from rooftop solar and battery storage.

Lee Herbet is the creator and driving force behind “Not a car guy”. The channel was started as a way to educate people about life with an electric car. With his history in adult training, marketing and communications, Lee has fostered an engaging style and a keen community. Lee and his team explain the world of electric cars in an easy to understand manner for those who are keen to learn not just about electric cars, but electrifying everything.
