Every EV sold new in Australia today uses the Type 2 inlet, so a Type 2 portable charger fits all of them. On a 10 A power point you add about 13 km of range per hour; on a dedicated 15 A outlet, about 19 km. Plug-in hybrids fill overnight on any power point; big-battery EVs top up overnight rather than fill.
- Any current EV: the SEVR 10A portable charger plugs into any standard power point.
- Big battery or long commute: the EVSE Australia 15A portable charger (coming soon) on a dedicated 15 A outlet.
- 2012–2018 Nissan Leaf or pre-2022 Outlander PHEV: Type 1, so the EVSE Australia Type 1 portable charger (coming soon).
- Not sure of your inlet? Type 2 has seven pin holes and a flat top edge. Check in ten seconds.

Questions
Frequently asked
Will a portable charger fit my car?
If your car was sold new in Australia in the last few years, almost certainly yes: every current EV uses the Type 2 inlet. Older Nissan Leafs (2012–2018) and pre-2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs use Type 1.
Which EV charges fastest on a power point?
On a power point the charger, not the car, sets the speed: about 2.3 kW on 10 A and 3.45 kW on 15 A. Smaller batteries fill sooner, and efficient cars go further per kWh.
How do I find my car's battery size?
Your owner's manual or the manufacturer's spec sheet lists it. Battery sizes vary by variant and model year, so check yours; the figures here are approximate.
Do plug-in hybrids need a special charger?
No. A PHEV uses the same Type 2 (or, on some older models, Type 1) inlet, and its small battery fills overnight on a 10 A power point.
