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.
