If you're buying a home charger rather than using one supplied with the car, the choice can feel overwhelming. In practice, a handful of chargers dominate Australian homes — and the "best" one depends mostly on whether you have solar and which inverter you run. Here's the short version.
The chargers people actually buy
- Tesla Wall Connector — clean, well-built and popular well beyond Tesla owners, since it uses a Type 2 connector. A great no-fuss choice, especially if you like the Tesla app.
- myenergi Zappi — the go-to if solar matters to you. It can charge your car from your excess solar without needing a particular inverter brand, and comes in 7 kW and 22 kW versions.
- Wallbox Pulsar Plus — compact and smart, with a Type 2 connector and single- or three-phase options. A popular all-rounder.
- Fronius Wattpilot — the natural pick if you already have a Fronius solar system, since it slots neatly into that ecosystem.
What actually matters when choosing
- Solar. If you have panels, a solar-aware charger (like the Zappi or Wattpilot) can top up mostly on your own daytime generation — usually a bigger saving than raw speed.
- Single vs three-phase. Around 85% of Sydney homes are single-phase, where a 7 kW charger fills overnight. A 22 kW charger only helps if you have three-phase and a car that accepts it.
- Smart features and warranty. App scheduling to charge on off-peak power, and a solid warranty, matter more day to day than headline kW.
We install all the major brands and we don't push a single product — we recommend the charger that suits your home, your solar and your car, then fit it. If you've already bought one, we install that instead.

Common questions
What is the best home EV charger in Australia?
There's no single best — it depends on your home. If you have solar, a solar-aware charger like the myenergi Zappi or Fronius Wattpilot pays off; Tesla owners often prefer the Tesla Wall Connector; the Wallbox Pulsar Plus is a popular all-rounder. We recommend based on your solar, power supply and car.
Do I need a smart EV charger?
Not strictly, but a smart charger lets you schedule charging for off-peak power and, with solar, top up from your own panels — usually a bigger saving than raw charging speed.
Do all home chargers work with my EV?
Type 2 chargers (Zappi, Wallbox, and the Tesla Wall Connector in Australia) are compatible with virtually all EVs sold here. We confirm compatibility as part of your assessment.
