Vehicle Guides

Every EV has an onboard AC limit that caps home charging speed, regardless of the charger's rating.

What this topic covers

• Connector types in Australia

  Type 2 is universal for AC, including Tesla; public DC fast charging uses CCS2.

• Onboard charger limits

  Common ratings are 7.4kW, 11kW and 22kW, varying between variants and model years.

• Brand app ecosystems

  We set scheduling in one app only, to avoid the car's and charger's apps conflicting.

• Two-EV households

  A second EV usually needs load management, not a supply upgrade.

Key facts

• Charging faster than the car's onboard limit is not possible.
• A 7kW charger adds roughly 35–40km of range per hour for a typical EV.
• Overnight charging on a dedicated tariff beats public DC charging on cost.
