What it costs to charge in NSW
The install is one-off. This is the number that decides whether the charger pays for itself, and it depends on your state's electricity rates. New South Wales off-peak sits at about 17c/kWh.

Charging off-peak in New South Wales is about 82% cheaper per kilometre than petrol, a saving of roughly $12.64 per 100km. A timer on the charger is what captures it, which is why the install matters more than the charger brand. Based on 16kWh/100km and 8.3L/100km petrol.
Why NSW quotes vary
The charger is the predictable part. What moves an EV quote is the switchboard, the cable run from the board to the garage, and whether the property needs a load-management device.
