There is no denying that the standout selling point for many Australian’s considering an electric vehicle right now comes straight from the wallet. The undeniable, indisputable truth of the modern day is that electric vehicles are much cheaper to charge than petrol cars are to fuel for the same distance covered.

While there are varying prices for charging your electric vehicle, the cost savings compared to a petrol car are significant, irrespective of how you charge it. According to Zecar, public fast chargers will yield a 34 per cent saving compared to charging from your home solar where the saving is an incredible 94 per cent. So as the majority of the nation feels the financial impact of high fuel prices, which are only set to go higher, owners of electric vehicles using a home charger, are spending an average of $113.70* per year to power their vehicle.



The Australian Government has committed significant funds to build additional charging infrastructure across the country to remove range anxiety and to support consumer choice. This investment, as well as Federal and State Government backed incentives, no doubt supports the recent rapid uptake of electric vehicles.
