Using this charger at home in Australia

With single-phase power output up to 7.4kW, this charger is well-suited to typical Australian home charging. Overnight charging generally adds enough range for most daily driving patterns.

This charger may suit households with rooftop solar. Solar-compatible chargers can help make better use of daytime solar generation, reducing reliance on grid electricity.

Load balancing can reduce EV charging speed when other high-power appliances are running (air conditioning, oven, hot water), helping prevent switchboard overload — especially useful in older Australian homes with limited electrical capacity.

OCPP support enables integration with third-party energy management systems, tariff optimisers, and smart home platforms — providing flexibility as your setup evolves.

With IP55 weather rating, this charger is suitable for garage, carport, or driveway installation. Your installer should confirm the best mounting location for your home.

For safety and warranty coverage, EV charger installation must be performed by a licensed Australian electrician. Always get a written quote and confirm compliance with AS/NZS 3000.
