COMPAREAustralian buying guide · Home EV chargers
Three-phase power can support 11 kW or 22 kW charging hardware, but the car's onboard charger still decides how much AC power it accepts. A larger wallbox is useful only when the rest of the chain agrees.

View product →Things to consider
Some EVs charge single-phase even at a three-phase home. Confirm the exact onboard AC charger before assuming three-phase hardware shortens charging time.
Large charging loads can overlap with air-conditioning, cooking and hot water. Dynamic load management can reduce charging before the home exceeds its safe limit.
Higher power is valuable when only a short free or off-peak period is available, provided the car can accept it and the required energy justifies it.
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.
