home ev charging options

When it comes to juicing up your electric vehicle at home, you've got a few flavours on the menu. The humble Level 1 charger is just your regular 240V outlet – slow as a snail but does the job overnight. Step up to Level 2 chargers (240V dedicated units) for a speedier sip, charging most EVs to about 80% in 4-6 hours. For the tech-savvy, there's even the smart chargers that let you schedule charging during off-peak hours, saving a pretty penny on your power bill. Installation will set you back anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand AUD depending on your home's wiring and charger type.
