The best setup depends on where your car parks, what power you really have, and when you charge. We’ll show the 3 most common paths — then if you want EV charging designed into your solar, battery and electrification plan, book a 30-minute energy design session.
We break EV charging into simple paths: home wall chargers, detached garage workarounds, and apartments/strata — plus solar timing, safety, and commercial peak demand.
If your car parks at a powered wall: wall charger wins.
If your car parks away from power: consider a portable buffer or portable solar bridge.
If it’s commercial/fleet: peak demand and scheduling matters more than charger brand.
EV charging is a sustained load (hours). The right path protects safety, reduces cost per km, and avoids expensive “oops” installs.
Best when your car parks at a powered wall
A proper wall charger is clean, simple, and reliable. The real savings come from smart timing: charging when solar is abundant or when tariffs are cheaper.
If you’re planning solar + battery + EV together, book a design session so the charger becomes part of an integrated system — not an add-on.
Avoid trenching • deliver higher power where the car is
If your garage is detached (or power is limited), a portable “buffer” can be cheaper than concrete cutting, long cable runs, or strata fights — while still improving charging practicality.
Why the high-current EV outlet matters: EV charging is a sustained draw. EV-ready high-current outlets are designed for stable, continuous output — not short bursts like a kettle.
Portable bridge • charge where you can, move to the car
If your car bay has no fixed power, portable storage can bridge the gap: charge the unit in a place you can access, then move it to the car location. Add portable solar where practical for extra “free” energy.
This path also pairs well with price-aware retailers — charge the unit in cheaper windows, then convert into kilometres later.
Solar peaks during the day. Most EVs get plugged in at night. The win is value capture: use solar when it exists, or store/shift value into your charging hours.
If you can’t get approval or wiring to the bay yet, portable storage can be a practical interim solution: charge it where you can, move it to the car, and top up. Where practical, portable solar can add extra “free” energy.
If you’re just looking to purchase hardware, start here. If you want EV charging integrated into a broader energy plan, book a design session.
Best fit for “Path B” detached garage buffering — strong output for sustained loads.
Strong portable power platform for flexible setups and backup use cases.
In 30 minutes we can map your best path: charging speed, wiring constraints, tariffs, solar/battery fit, and future electrification. Then you can buy with confidence — without expensive mistakes.
