EV CHARGER FOR EASY INTEGRATION
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) at home is one of the the most convenient ways to keep your car ready for the road. No more queuing at public stations, simply plug in overnight and wake up to a full battery each day.
In Australia, where many households are adopting EVs, home chargers make daily driving hassle-free and cost-effective. Our AC chargers are designed for everyday use, fitting seamlessly into your garage or carport providing safe and efficient charging.
Benefits of Installing an AC Charger at Home
Benefits of Installing an AC Charger at Home. AC chargers, also known as Level 2 chargers, offer significant advantages over using a standard power outlet.
Faster charging: Charge your EV up to 10 times quicker than a regular socket (vehicle and home dependent), adding 30-70km of range per hour depending on your setup.
Convenience and Savings: Schedule charging during off-peak hours to lower electricity bills. Many users save hundreds annually compared to public charging.
Safety and Reliability: Built-in protections prevent electrical issues, and smart features let you monitor usage via an app.
Environmental Impact: Pair with solar for zero-local-emission charging, reducing your carbon footprint. These benefits are especially relevant in Australia, where rising EV adoption (over 400,000 vehicles on roads as of January 2026) demands efficient home solutions.
Understanding Single-Phase vs. Three-Phase Charging
Single Phase:
Standard in most Australian homes; one live wire. Charger can be wired to a 32A circuit (suggest 40A breaker) to provide up-to 7.4kW charging.
A full charge possible in about 8 hours for a 60kWh battery.
Three Phase:
Used in approx. 10% of Australian homes; three live wires. Charger can be wired to a three-phase 32A circuit (suggest 3P/40A breaker) to provide up-to 22kW charging. A full charge possible in under 3 hours for a 60kWh battery. However, its common for vehicles to be limited to 11kW charging, meaning a 22kW charger will be restricted by the vehicle to 11kW. In this case a full charge will take under 6 hours.
What is DC Charging, and Should I install it at home?
Installing a DC fast charger at home is like using a Bugatti for the supermarket run, yes its fast, but its serious overkill for home usage.
A DC charger typically requires a three-phase power supply, which means your home must already have three-phase wiring (or you'll need a costly upgrade). Even then, a standard three-phase residential setup can only support a 22-25 kW DC charger, allowing you to fully recharge a typical EV (with a 60-80 kWh battery) in about 2-3 hours. However, the installation cost for this setup often exceeds $20,000, mostly for the charger itself, electrical upgrades, and permits.
In contrast, a Level 2 AC charger (7-22 kW) can do the job overnight for around $3,000 installed. Unless you're running a an EV fleet, the AC route is far more practical and cost-effective.

Taking Advantage of Solar
Australia's sunny climate makes solar-EV integration a smart choice. Excess solar energy can directly power your charger, cutting grid reliance and bills. Dynamic load management automatically adjusts charging based on home energy use e.g., pausing during peak appliance times to avoid tripping.
Benefits include:
Solar Surplus Optimisation: Charge for free using daytime solar generation.
Load Balancing: Distributes power safely across your home, solar, and EV.
App Integration: Monitor and schedule via mobile for peak efficiency.
This setup is increasingly popular, but not all changers have these features. If the above requirements are part of your search, consider the Teltonika range of chargers on our website.
TELTONIKA EVC2 EC Charger
DYNAMIC LOAD BALANCING
With EVC 2 load balancing, your EV charges smoothly without straining the grid. Power is shared intelligently between stations, so you always get reliable charging – even during peak times. This means lower costs for operators and a stress-free experience for drivers.
SOLAR PANEL INTEGRATION
EVC 2 uses solar integration, and dynamic load balancing to get the most from your site’s power. That means faster charging when capacity is available and lower costs by tapping into energy market rates. In short – every kilometre driven costs you less.
ENGINEERED
TO LAST
Rain or shine, heat or cold – EVC 2 keeps on charging. Made in the EU with strict quality checks at every step, it’s built to perform in real-world conditions. With IP56 dust and water resistance, IK10 impact protection, and an operating range from -30 °C to +50 °C, reliability comes as standard.
And with a 36-month warranty, extendable to 60 months, you can count on it for the long run.
