A smart solar-divert charger sends your excess sunlight to the car before the grid sees it. Charging on your own surplus runs at effectively cents per 100 km against roughly $14 per 100 km for petrol, and a 6.6 kW system's surplus adds 120–180 km of range a day in the sunny months. At average driving, that's around $1,700 a year staying in your pocket.
Solar-first by default
We set every charger to drink surplus solar first, then cheap off-peak, then grid, automatically. It's configuration most installers skip; for us it's the whole point of the machine.
What it costs
A quality 7 kW wallbox, supplied and installed, typically lands at $1.5–3k, fixed in writing. Victoria has no home-charger rebate to dangle, so where others invent urgency, you get an honest flat price.
The paperwork bit
Bigger wallboxes can require electricity network permission before connection, an approval step many discover after the unit's on the wall. We handle it before anything is booked. Licensed electrical work, engineer sign-off, always.
