Local notes
Charging in Brisbane and around Queensland
- Electrical work, including a new outlet for EV charging, must be done by a licensed electrician, who tests it and certifies it as safe.
- Heat and summer storms: keep the charger's control box shaded and off the ground. IP66 handles rain, not standing water. Charging in the rain.
- Queensland has a lot of rooftop solar. Charging in the middle of the day soaks it up: solar charging with a portable charger.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost to charge an EV at home in Queensland?
At an example flat rate of 32c/kWh, about $5.69 per 100 km, or about $683 a year for 12,000 km. Off-peak, EV plans and solar cut that sharply. Check the rate on your bill.
Do you deliver portable EV chargers to Brisbane?
Yes. Shipping is free to Brisbane and everywhere else in Queensland. Orders are dispatched from Australian stock within 1 business day.
Can I charge an EV from a normal power point in Queensland?
Yes. A portable charger with a genuine 10 A plug works from any standard Australian power point and adds about 13 km of range per hour. Plug straight into the wall, never into a powerboard or extension lead.
Can I use an extension lead with a portable EV charger?
No. Powerboards and extension leads aren't built for hours of continuous load. Plug the charger straight into the wall, and stop if the plug or outlet feels hot.
