Adelaide EV Charging Solutions

Not all chargers are equal. As the EV market expands, selecting the right charging solution for your needs is essential. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you through options, whether it's single-phase, three-phase, DC fast charging, multi-vehicle charging, or public charging stations. We consider all variables to provide the best solution for you.

AC or DC Charger?

Every EV charger draws AC power from the grid, but vehicle batteries can only store DC power. Therefore, an AC to DC conversion must take place to charge the battery. The main difference between AC and DC EV chargers lies in where this conversion happens.

AC EV Chargers supply AC power to the vehicle, and the AC to DC conversion is handled by the vehicle's onboard charger. Most vehicles' onboard chargers are currently limited to either 7kW or 11kW, which impacts the charging time.

DC EV Chargers perform the AC to DC conversion within the charger itself, bypassing the vehicle's onboard charger and charging the battery directly. This allows DC EV chargers to supply larger currents, enabling them to charge batteries in as little as 10 minutes.

Charging from Solar

Smart chargers can be programmed to charge vehicles only when solar power is being generated. This allows your vehicle to be charged with 100% renewable energy, resulting in zero emissions and effectively providing a “free battery charge.” Smart chargers also come with mobile apps, enabling you to start and stop charging remotely, schedule automatic charging times, monitor the charging rate, record historical charging data, and more.
