EV Chargers Australia | miqenergy.com.au

The EV charging network is rapidly expanding across Australia. The country’s largest emerging charge location operator is Chargefox who operates 153 fast charging sites across the nation.

It uses Jolt DC charging stalls which are compatible with CCS and CHAdeMO plugs for most EVs on sale today, although the Tesla Supercharging network is exclusive to its vehicles.

Level 1

The bog standard wall socket that your toaster and mobile charger plug into that delivers AC power is considered a Level 1 charge point. It’s ideal for topping up your EV while you’re parked at home, office or at work but is too slow to provide a full recharge on a long road trip.

Some workplaces, shopping centres and accommodation venues have started providing Level 1 charging for EV drivers. It’s also a popular option for residential EV owners who install them in their garages or driveways.

There are plenty of connectors, adapters and converters available if you’re planning to use your Level 1 best ev chargers with a different kind of public charger. These are often required if you’re using a CCS Combo connection for DC fast charging. For more information, consult this handy EV charger map to see the locations and ports of various stations across Australia. It will also give you an idea of the power levels and driving range added per hour of charging for each location.

Level 2

Insufficient public charging infrastructure remains a valid concern for EV buyers. NRMA is working with state governments to expand the network, while Chargefox is trialling pricing models that prioritize cheaper charging during daylight and encourage the use of renewable energy.

There are also a variety of ev chargers Australia available for your home, work or commercial space. From coiled plugs that fit into standard 10amp domestic sockets to dedicated wall-mounted units with up to 22kW capacity, there is something to suit every home and business.

EV drivers can also purchase portable EV charging cables for their cars that improve safety through two-way communication between the charging station and the car. This ensures the EV is only charged at the correct voltage and speed, as well as communicating with the vehicle to avoid overcharging. These are suited to small EVs and can be used at home or public EV charging stations. Contact EVE Australia for more information on these and other EV charging options.

Fast Chargers

Australia’s EV charging network is growing quickly but is still patchy and underpowered by global standards. That could slow the country’s EV adoption rates, and deter new buyers from buying cleaner cars, industry executives say.

Australia has a broad range of slow AC chargers at businesses and council sites, with the biggest networks operated by Evie (with its teal-painted parking spaces) and EVUp. BP is also rolling out 300 of its own public DC fast-charging sites, but it’s encountering delays in connecting them to the grid due to high demand and lengthy studies required to ensure the chargers don’t overburden the power system.

The fastest chargers are Tesla’s DC Superchargers, but those are limited to the company’s Model S and X vehicles. Adaptors are available to allow them to charge other brands of EV using a CCS Combo connection. They can also enable bidirectional charging — where the car can return energy to the grid from the road, though regulations aren’t yet ready for that.

Home Chargers

EV chargers are also becoming available for use at home. These are usually level 2 chargers, and are a good option for those who want to reduce their range anxiety by having the ability to charge at home (assuming your house can accommodate a home EV charging station).

A home EV charger will typically have a Type 2 plug, which is compatible with all EVs on the Australian market. You’ll find that most new EVs will come with this plug, and older vehicles will require a Type 2 to Type 1 adapter cable.

A home charger rated at 7.2kW costs around $950 to $1500 plus installation, and many car manufacturers offer bundled installations with the purchase of an EV. Many of these chargers are connected to renewable solar energy, which means that the cost of charging your EV at home is effectively zero. That’s a pretty great deal.

Using Dans, and Chargefox DC Fast Chargers. How to use the Dan Murphys DC fast charger!  its actually run by @Chargefox and is FREE to use!

Stopped by those same EV charging spots again tonight. And this time, three of the five were blocked.

Hopefully these are just a case of awareness and education, and the shopping centre management will help clarify through helpful and more visible signage, for example. I imagine Chargefox — who operate and generate revenue with those super‐fast chargers there — wouldn't want this to become the norm long term.

Attributed to the growing adoption of electric vehicles, the investments in charging infrastructure are also increasing. In addition to the installation of new charging infrastructure, the existing charging infrastructure needs to be improved for easy accessibility and higher efficiency. Companies in the domain are making use of government provisions for producing electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, which is driving the demand for EVCC. For example, Chargefox Pty. Ltd. received an investment of $15 million from different investors and the company will utilize this amount for installing rapid electric vehicle chargers across Australia.
