Electric vehicle charging

At home charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) is now available through the Energy Saver Loan Scheme.

Dedicated at-home charging is quicker than charging an EV through a standard 10 amp or 15 amp power point.

Who's eligible?

• Homeowners, small businesses, community organisations and landlords can apply for a loan to install an EV charger at their premises.

What's covered by the scheme?

• The scheme will cover AC chargers only. DC fast chargers will not be covered.
• Installation of an EV charger must be carried out by a licensed electrician.
• If there is a need to upgrade the electrical connection to 3-phase power, the cost of this upgrade can be incorporated into your loan.

Conditions of installation

• EV chargers may be installed at an eligible property which is either an existing standalone residence or a strata titled property.
• Apartment owners would need to provide evidence of approval from their body corporate to install an EV charger.
