Charging at home vs public / petrol
Home charging on a residential tariff is far cheaper per km than public fast-charging, and cheaper than petrol for equivalent distance. Most owners recover the charger cost through the savings and the convenience of never queuing at a public station.
Are there grants?
Landed homes: no grant applies. Condominiums/NLPR: the ECCG may apply to shared/common-area chargers. Commercial fleets: the EHVCG covers up to 50% per DC charger. We'll tell you honestly what applies to your case.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?
For most homes, the main costs are the charger unit plus installation. The exact figure depends on your cable run and any electrical works — we quote transparently after a free site survey, with no hidden costs. An LTA fee applies to AC chargers.
Is home EV charging cheaper than petrol?
Yes. Charging at home on a residential electricity tariff costs significantly less per kilometre than petrol, and less than most public DC charging. The savings typically offset the installation over time.
