ev charging standards australia Page 5

In Australia, the de facto standard is Type 2 (Mennekes) for AC and CCS2 for DC fast charging; CHAdeMO still exists but it’s fading faster than last year’s footy tips.

Home charging is typically 230 V at 10 A (~2.3 kW) or 15 A (~3.6 kW), while wallboxes do 7.4 kW (single-phase) or 11–22 kW (three-phase).

Public DC ranges from the common 50 kW up to 150–350 kW on high-power sites, assuming your EV can actually swallow that much without indigestion.

Tesla in Australia now uses CCS2 for Supercharging; older cars may need an adapter, which is less dramatic than it sounds.

Whatever you install at home must be fitted by a licensed electrician and comply with Australian wiring rules—no DIY heroics with a Bunnings extension lead.

Consult official documentation for exact figures.
