Most electric vehicles sold in Australia can connect to a home EV charger, but it’s important to check compatibility before choosing one.
The type of charging plug, your car’s maximum charging capacity and the charger you install will all play a part. We can help check that the charger is suitable for your vehicle before installation.
Charging speed depends on your car, the charger’s power and your home’s electrical supply.
As a general guide, a dedicated home charger can add approximately:
A 7kW charger is a common option for homes with a single-phase power supply. Faster 11kW and 22kW charging generally requires three-phase power, and your vehicle must also support the higher charging rate.
These figures are estimates. Actual charging speeds vary depending on your vehicle, battery, electrical setup and other conditions.
Absolutely! If you have solar panels, you can use the electricity your system generates to charge your EV, helping you make more of your own energy and rely less on the grid.
With a compatible smart charger, you may be able to prioritise excess solar power and charge your car when your panels are generating electricity. If there isn’t enough solar available, you can generally top up using electricity from the grid, depending on your charger’s settings.
If you have a home battery, you may also be able to use stored solar energy to charge your car. How much solar power is available will depend on your system, household energy use and the time of day.
Getting your home ready for EV charging is usually straightforward. A qualified electrician will check your switchboard, electrical supply and preferred charger location to work out what’s needed.
Installation generally involves:
Some homes may need a switchboard upgrade or changes to their electrical supply, depending on their existing setup and the charger selected. We’ll help you understand what’s involved before installation goes ahead.
