COMPAREAustralian buying guide · Home EV chargers
Australian Tesla vehicles use Type 2 AC charging, so owners are not limited to one wallbox brand. The right charger depends on the home's phase supply, solar system, tariff and how quickly the car needs to recover daily kilometres.

View product →Things to consider
Model and build-year details matter. The car's onboard AC charger sets the ceiling even when the wallbox can deliver more.
A tethered Type 2 lead is easy to use at home. A socketed charger is neater and cable-replaceable, but requires the charging cable each time.
A charger that can reduce output when the house is busy may avoid an unnecessarily large supply upgrade, subject to the electrician's design.
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.
