Why home charging beats public charging

Public AC chargers cost 40–55¢/kWh. DC fast chargers 55–80¢/kWh. Home electricity is typically 25–35¢/kWh. For the average driver doing 40 km/day, that's $1,000–$1,500/year in savings. With solar, home charging can cost near zero.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about home EV chargers, installation, and running costs.

A Level 2 charger uses a 240V connection to charge your EV 5–10x faster than a standard power point. A typical 7.2–11kW home charger adds 40–80 km of range per hour. Most EV owners plug in overnight and wake up with a full battery every morning.
A quality home EV charger (hardware + installation) typically costs $1,200–$3,000 in Australia. Smart chargers sit at $1,500–$2,500. Basic chargers from $900–$1,500. A licensed electrician must do the install — DIY is not permitted.
Significantly. Public AC chargers cost 40–55¢/kWh. DC fast chargers 55–80¢/kWh. Home electricity is typically 25–35¢/kWh. For the average driver doing 40 km/day, that's around $1,000–$1,500/year. With solar, you can reduce home charging cost to near zero.
A solar-smart charger (like the Zappi or Fronius Wattpilot) monitors your solar output and adjusts EV charging to match excess solar generation. Instead of exporting excess solar at 3–10¢/kWh, you store it in your EV at full electricity value (25–35¢/kWh). Running costs can drop to near zero.
Tesla vehicles can use any Type 2 charger with an adapter, but charge fastest on Tesla's own Wall Connector (up to 11.5kW). Non-Tesla EVs use the Type 2 standard and cannot use Tesla-specific hardware.
Rebates for home EV charger hardware are limited at the federal level, but some states and retailers offer incentives. Some retailers (Amber Electric, AGL) offer discounted EV tariffs with off-peak rates as low as 10–15¢/kWh. We update rebate data every 6 months.
A standard home EV charger installation takes 2–4 hours for a licensed electrician. A switchboard upgrade may be required for older homes. Always get 2–3 quotes and ensure your installer is licensed with EV charger experience.
