EV chargers in Adelaide

What to know before you get quotes for a home EV charger in SA Power Networks' area.

  1. Step 1: Small chargers: no approval

    Charging below 20 A, from a regular 10 or 15 A power point, doesn't need approval.

  2. Step 2: Wall chargers: approval through the portal

    A charger rated above 20 A on a single phase, or 25 A per phase on three phase, needs approval. Your electrician lodges it in SA Power Networks' portal before installing; it's approved automatically if it meets the technical requirements, and closed out after installation.

  3. Step 3: Smart charging

    SA Power Networks recommends smart chargers, which can schedule charging around your solar or cheaper time-of-use periods.

  4. Step 4: Vehicle-to-grid (V2G)

    Bidirectional chargers are allowed under the embedded generation rules. To stay in the simple process, total battery capacity on the site, including the V2G charger and any home battery, must stay below 30 kVA per site and 10 kVA per phase.

Tariffs and charging times

From 1 July 2026, retailers in Default Market Offer areas, including SA Power Networks' area, must provide a Solar Sharer Offer with free electricity during three hours in the middle of the day (a smart meter is needed). If your car is home then, charging in that window is worth looking at.

What EV charger installation costs in Adelaide

These are the national ranges the NRMA published in July 2026, as a guide only. Your cable run and switchboard decide the final price, so compare itemised quotes.

Before you get quotes

Worth asking about in Adelaide

  • Older home? Ask each installer whether your switchboard needs work for a charger, and whether that's in the quote.
  • In a unit or townhouse? Parking and wall space are often common property, so you'll need your owners corporation's or strata company's approval first.
  • Renting? You'll need your landlord's permission before a charger can be installed.
  • Charger going in a carport or detached garage? A long cable run from the switchboard usually adds to the cost, so ask for it to be itemised.
  • Ask for the electrician's licence number, and a certificate of compliance when the work is done.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can I charge at home in Adelaide?

Most homes are single phase, which suits a charger of about 7 kW. Faster 11 or 22 kW chargers need three-phase power, and many cars accept less than 22 kW on AC, so check your car's limit first.

Do I need approval for a home EV charger in Adelaide?

Chargers above 20 A on a single phase, or 25 A per phase on three phase, need SA Power Networks' approval, which your electrician lodges through its portal before installing. Smaller chargers don't.

Can I charge my EV from solar in Adelaide?

Yes, with a charger that can follow your spare solar, or by scheduling charging for the middle of the day when your solar is producing.

Can I get a charger in a unit or rental in Adelaide?

Often, yes, with permission first: from the owners corporation or strata company for most units, and from your landlord if you rent.
