COMPAREAustralian buying guide · Home EV chargers
BYD models sold in Australia use Type 2 AC charging, but their onboard AC limits vary by vehicle and generation. Buying the largest wallbox number does not make a car accept more power.

View product →Things to consider
Check the owner's manual or current Australian specification for the exact model and build. Do not apply one BYD model's limit to the whole range.
Daily kilometres and time parked are more useful than battery size alone. Most homes only need to replace the energy used that day.
Surplus charging requires the charger to measure household import and export through compatible CTs or a meter, correctly commissioned at the switchboard.
Product comparison
The match score measures fit against this guide's published rules (55 baseline points plus up to 42 for matched preferences). Missing prices earn no affordability points. Equal scores mean equal rule matches, not equal tested performance. Prices are dated planning evidence, not live offers.
Scores use recorded catalogue attributes, not measured performance. Budget and premium selections compare remaining brand finalists, so they are alternatives to the overall pick.

Frequently asked questions
A standards-compliant Type 2 charger should be broadly compatible, but installation and vehicle settings must still be correct.
For many daily driving patterns it is, especially when the vehicle is parked overnight.
Compare its installed cost and features with independent chargers; matching badges alone do not guarantee better solar or load control.
