Local notes
Charging in Canberra and around Australian Capital Territory
- A licensed electrician must do any new outlet or circuit and certify the work.
- The ACT's electricity has come from 100% renewable sources since 2020, so home charging is very low-emission.
- Frosty winters slow charging slightly; plugging in overnight evens it out. Check the ACT Government for any current home-energy or EV incentives.
