A tethered EV charger will only be compatible with vehicles that match its plug type, but can be more convenient as the cable is always attached. A socket (universal) EV charger allows for more flexibility, as the appropriate cable can be swapped depending on the vehicle being charged. Don’t forget however with a socket charger, there will be an additional expense of buying the cable to plug into it.

Charging your EV at home is the most cost-effective way to recharge. On a night rate electricity plan, you can expect to pay between $2.50 - $3.00 per 100 km.

Installing an Evnex home charger allows you to schedule your charging session to off-peak hours, reducing the cost of your charge, and the use of carbon intensive generation.

Our smart chargers come with additional benefits that protect your home from overloading, reduce carbon emissions and cost of your charging session, and allow to track charging costs. Our chargers connect to the internet via the cell network as standard, at no cost to you.

Most new EVs are supplied with a portable charger that plugs into a standard household plug. We recommend that homeowners do not rely on portable charging leads as their primary means of charging, especially if their vehicle has a larger battery pack. Standard home outlets are not designed for constant, high amperage loads, and can overheat in some situations.

This depends on many factors, including the maximum charging capability of the vehicle. As a rule of thumb, a 7.4kW single phase EV charger can delivery about 40km of range per hour. See our article on EV charging time.

Two or more electric vehicle households are starting to become common, charging both EVs at the same time is possible by installing multiple smart chargers. Evnex chargers communicate with each other and balance the electricity load between them.

Our chargers are compatible with all plug-in vehicle brands
