EV Charging Starts at Home

Owning an electric vehicle is all about convenience and efficiency and that starts with having the right EV charger at home. With more Australians switching to electric cars, choosing the right setup is essential for performance, safety, and future-proofing your home.

🔌 Types of EV Chargers

Not all chargers are the same. Here’s a quick breakdown:

🔋 Level 1: Standard Plug-in

  • Uses a regular power point
  • Slow charging (up to 24+ hours)
  • Not ideal for regular use

⚡ Level 2: Wall-mounted EV Charger

  • Fast charging options (3–8 hours depending on vehicle)
  • Dedicated circuit required
  • Ideal for daily drivers

We always recommend Level 2 chargers for households they’re efficient, safe, and compatible with all major EV models.
