The cheapest way
to charge at home.

Every EV electricity plan in Australia, run against your driving and your household usage — with the exact setup each plan requires, and what it costs to get there.

Your situation

Every plan available to you, ranked by annual cost

Rates are indicative published retail rates as at July 2026 and vary by distribution network and postcode — confirm current rates with the retailer or on the federal government's Energy Made Easy comparison site before switching. Figures assume a typical residential load shape (30% peak / 35% shoulder / 35% off-peak) and include ~12% charging losses. WE DRIVER is not an energy retailer or broker and receives no commission from the plans listed — this tool exists to make the comparison legible.

Setup for your best-match plan.

EV tariffs have entry conditions. These are the ones that apply to the plan ranked first for your situation — including anything worth upgrading to actually capture the cheap window.

Two ways to switch.

Every plan above has an Apply link straight to the retailer and their phone number. Or let us handle the whole sequence — plan switch, smart meter request, charger install, and a three-phase upgrade if your home needs one — in one request.

01

Apply direct to the retailer

Fastest route. Have your current bill (NMI number), your address, and proof of EV ownership ready. Switching takes 2–5 business days and there is no cost or interruption to supply — your new retailer handles the transfer.

Use the Apply button on any plan card above

02

Request a smart meter

You request this from your retailer, not the network company. Under AER rules they must arrange installation within 20 business days, and there is no upfront cost when the retailer initiates it. Ask for it at the same time as your plan switch — that way it is bundled and free.

No cost when bundled · 20 business days

03

Book the charger install

A wall charger must be installed by a licensed electrician to AS/NZS 3000. Book this before your plan switch completes so you can use the cheap window from day one. We match your property to partner installers.

04

Upgrade to three-phase — only if you need it

Most homes don't: single-phase 7kW adds ~250km overnight. Three-phase makes sense for 22kW charging, two EVs, or a very short cheap window. The upgrade runs through a licensed electrician (in NSW, an accredited Level 2 provider) who lodges a connection application with your network distributor — you never contact the distributor yourself. Tick the assessment box below and we scope it before you spend anything.

$3,000 – $8,000 · allow 2–6 weeks

05

Let WE DRIVER arrange it

One request, and we sequence the whole thing: confirm the plan against your actual usage, prepare the smart meter request for your retailer, and book a licensed installer if you need a charger or a supply upgrade.

What do you need arranged?

Need the charger before the plan pays off?

Most cheap windows are short — a 7kW wall charger is what turns them into real savings. Get matched quotes from licensed installers for your property.
