EV Charger Installation Cost in South Australia (SA)

A 7kW home charger installed in South Australia runs $1,200 to $3,000, and up to $4,500 if your switchboard needs upgrading first.

What it costs to charge in SA

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. South Australia off-peak sits at about 20c/kWh.

$3.20

per 100km charging overnight at SA off-peak (20c/kWh)

$6.08

per 100km on the SA peak rate (38c/kWh)

$15.36

per 100km for petrol at $1.85/L (ACCC national average)

Charging off-peak in South Australia is about 79% cheaper per kilometre than petrol, a saving of roughly $12.16 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 SA 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.
