5.15 EV chargers

A home EV charger lets you charge your electric vehicle at home, at a time that suits you. This can help you save money by charging during off-peak times, or even use energy generated by your own Solar system as a clean fuel source. It is one of the upgrades you may be able to choose through Home Energy Saver.

Key features

  • Charge at home overnight or during the day.
  • Use your rooftop solar to charge, if you have it.
  • A dedicated wall charger charges faster than a standard trickle charger (using a power point).
  • Options to suit different vehicles and homes.

How it works

A home EV charger supplies electricity to charge your vehicle. A dedicated Level 2 wall mounted charger charges faster than a standard power point. Your charger is installed by an Approved Supplier through Forge Solutions, which manages installations for the program.

A few key facts

  • Running cost: charging at home is usually cheaper than charging in public, especially if you charge with rooftop solar during the day, or on an off peak plan overnight.
  • Types: home chargers are usually wall mounted units. Some higher powered direct current (DC) charging modules are also available.
  • You can track your charging and energy use through your vehicle's app.

Is it right for your home?

An EV charger may suit you if you:

  • have an electric vehicle, or plan to get one
  • have off street parking or a safe place to charge at home
  • want to charge using your own solar energy.

If you live in an apartment or a strata property, you may need approval from your strata scheme or owners corporation before a wall charger can be installed. See Strata and embedded networks.

Your electrical and safety assessment confirms the right charger for your home before anything is installed. See Your electrical and safety assessment and Quote.
