Local notes
Charging in Hobart and around Tasmania
- A licensed electrician must do any new outlet or circuit and give you a compliance certificate for the work.
- Tasmania's grid is mostly hydro, so home charging is about as low-emission as driving gets.
- Cold mornings slow charging a little. Overnight charging evens it out, and a 10 A charger in the boot covers holiday shacks.

DetailsQuestions
Frequently asked
Do I need an electrician to charge an EV in Tasmania?
Not to plug a 10 A portable charger into an existing power point. You do need a licensed electrician to install a new 15 A outlet or a wall charger, and they'll give you the compliance certificate Tasmania requires.
How much does it cost to charge an EV at home in Tasmania?
At an example flat rate of 30c/kWh, about $5.33 per 100 km, or about $640 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 Hobart?
Yes. Shipping is free to Hobart and everywhere else in Tasmania. Orders are dispatched from Australian stock within 1 business day.
Can I charge an EV from a normal power point in Tasmania?
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.
