Estimates are based on the e VITARA 2WD, which uses 14.2 kWh/100km. e VITARA Ultra AWD 61kWh models use more energy (15.4kWh/100km), so charging costs will be slightly higher. Estimates also assume petrol at $2.39/L and 6 L/100km for a comparable petrol vehicle, a standard tariff of 34c/kWh and a smart overnight tariff of 8c/kWh (based on the AGL EV Saver plan, charging between 12am and 6am). Prices do not include your energy retailer's daily supply charge. We encourage you to shop around for the retail plan that best suits you. When charging with solar, a small amount of grid power may still be used to maintain charging (for example, during cloud cover). Figures are intentionally conservative, and savings may be greater with plans that include free charging periods, solar charging or higher petrol prices. Prices last reviewed: October 2026.
Charging an e VITARA 2WD at home costs around $2.84 a week on an off-peak plan, based on 250 km a week.
| Distance per week | Off-peak | Standard | Solar | Petrol |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 km | $2.84 | $12.07 | $0.00 | $35.85 |
| 192 km (10,000 km a year) | $2.18 | $9.28 | $0.00 | $27.58 |
| 288 km (15,000 km a year) | $3.28 | $13.93 | $0.00 | $41.37 |
Charging your EV at home provides convenience, cost savings, and preserves your EV’s battery health. You can set an Ohme EV home charger to charge at the cheapest time of day for your energy plan, or use solar excess to charge your car for free. The slower charging speed reduces wear on your battery, helping to extend its lifespan. Plus, you can avoid the hassle of queueing for a public fast charger.
A home EV charger uses your home's electricity connection to recharge your car battery. It's a wall-mounted unit that delivers power through a cable into the car's charge port, and smart models (like Ohme) let you schedule charging for cheaper off-peak rates or solar.
Yes, but only if it's on a dedicated circuit with sound wiring to AS/NZS 3000 standard. It's also much slower — around 2–2.4kW (10–15km of range per hour) versus 3.6–7kW from a proper wall charger — so it suits occasional top-ups better than daily charging.
You can install a charger that is much faster than a powerpoint, but not a true rapid DC charger like those at public stations. Home units are AC, typically 7kW on single-phase or up to 22kW on three-phase power, which covers most needs.
Most go in the garage, carport or driveway, near the switchboard to keep cable runs (and cost) down. An outdoor unit needs to be weatherproof-rated, and a licensed electrician should assess the site and switchboard capacity first.
There's growing evidence that having an EV charger appeals to buyers, especially as EV ownership rises and most owners prefer the convenience of charging at home. The exact value impact varies by property and market.
As a rough guide, EV home charger installation can be around $1,500 to $3,500 all up. Actual cost will depend on a few factors such as which charger you choose, distance from the switchboard, any upgrades required, and single-vs-three-phase power. State rebates may be available, so make sure you check with your local authority.
