Volkswagen home EV chargers
Compare home charger options for Volkswagen electric vehicles including the ID.4.
Volkswagen's current Australian battery-electric range includes models such as the ID.4, ID.5 and ID. Buzz. Current Australian specifications for these vehicles use Type 2 for AC charging.
Australian ID.4 and ID.5 specifications list a maximum AC charging capacity of 11 kW, and Volkswagen also specifies 11 kW three-phase AC charging for the ID. Buzz. A 22 kW wallbox can still be used, but these vehicles will not draw more than their supported AC charging rate.
Home charger selection should also account for the property's single- or three-phase supply, available circuit capacity, parking position and whether solar charging or load management is required. Dedicated charger installation must be completed by a licensed electrician.

Volkswagen EV charging FAQs
What AC connector do Volkswagen EVs use for home charging?
Current Australian Volkswagen ID.4, ID.5 and ID. Buzz specifications use a Type 2 connection for AC charging. A tethered wallbox includes its cable, while a socketed wallbox requires a suitable Type 2 to Type 2 cable.
How do I choose a home charger for my Volkswagen?
Start with the maximum AC charging rate of your exact Volkswagen and then consider the property's electrical supply, available circuit capacity, parking position, cable preference, solar setup and load-management needs. Use Find My Charger to compare those requirements.
Will a standard Type 2 home charger work with my Volkswagen?
A correctly installed Type 2 AC wallbox is the normal home-charging connection for current Volkswagen battery-electric models sold in Australia. The vehicle will only draw up to its own supported AC charging rate.
How fast can I charge my Volkswagen at home?
Current Australian ID.4 and ID.5 specifications list an 11 kW maximum AC charging rate, and the ID. Buzz also supports 11 kW three-phase AC charging. On a single-phase home supply the available rate will normally be lower. A 22 kW wallbox does not make an 11 kW vehicle charge at 22 kW.
Can I charge my Volkswagen from a regular power point?
Volkswagen Australia supports home charging from a standard outlet on current electric models when suitable charging equipment is used. It is much slower than a dedicated wallbox. Australian Government guidance recommends using a safe, appropriate setup and a licensed electrician for any dedicated charger installation.
