electric car charging station cost

Looking to juice up your electric vehicle at home without selling a kidney? Installation of a Level 2 electric car charging station in Australia typically sets you back around $1,000 to $3,000 AUD, depending on your home's electrical setup and the charger brand. Public fast chargers, on the other hand, are a different beast altogether, often costing operators upwards of $20,000 AUD to install due to hefty infrastructure and grid connection fees. Keep in mind, usage costs vary: home charging is generally cheaper per kWh, while public stations might charge a premium.
