Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?
The cost of installing a home EV charger depends on several factors—including the charger type, your current electrical setup, and whether it’s paired with a solar power system. While upfront costs can vary, many homeowners across Griffith and the Riverina find that the long-term fuel savings and convenience of home charging make it a smart investment.
Can I use an EV charger with my solar system?

-
Level 2 Chargers – Perfect for homes and small businesses, Level 2 units deliver the right mix of speed, efficiency, and affordability—charging most EVs in around 4–8 hours.

-
Level 1 (Standard Power Point) – Around 10 to 20 hours for a full charge
-
Level 2 (Wall-Mounted EV Charger) – Around 4 to 8 hours for a full charge
