The Best EV Chargers In Australia: According To Aussie Installers

According to installers we trust, what are the best EV charger brands in Australia in 2025?

It was tough competition for the top spot – with only a handful of votes separating first and third place. Find out the winners below.

How Did We Survey Our Installers?

We asked the 594 installers in the SolarQuotes installer network one question:

If installing a system on your own house today, what brand’s EV chargers would you use?

140 replied – here’s the results.

Best EV Chargers In Australia: 2025

Best EV Chargers 2025: First place – Fronius

With 18% of the vote, Fronius has claimed the top spot this year.

With a legendary reputation for quality, it’s no surprise many installers see the Fronius Wattpilot charger as the natural charger choice for a Fronius household. It comes in a hard-wired and portable variant (the Wattpilot GO).

Keeping things within an ecosystem means you have one point of contact for warranty issues and only one app to use on your phone.

The downside? It’s one of the more expensive chargers on the market—around $1,800. This also makes its two-year warranty disappointingly short for the price.

Best EV Chargers 2025: Second place – Tesla

Taking second place with 17% of the vote is Tesla with their Wall Connector.

Tesla offers one of the cheapest name-brand chargers on the market.

The Tesla Wall Connector costs $800 and comes with a four-year warranty.

This makes it easy to recommend if you have a Tesla car and a Tesla Powerwall.

If you don’t have a Tesla car and Powerwall, the wall connector is a ‘dumb’ charger—for now. That’s because almost all the charging smarts are communicated directly between the battery (which knows your consumption and solar generation) and the car (which sets the charging speed), bypassing the wall charger.

If you have a Tesla, you can make the charger smart without buying a Powerwall by using the ChargeHQ app which can talk to most solar inverters and your Tesla car,  – but that has an ongoing monthly subscription fee of $7.

Best EV Chargers 2025: Third place – Sigenergy

Sigenergy is a new brand in Australia that has experienced a fast rise in popularity. It’s impressive that it took third place with 16% of the vote in its first year in the country.

Sigenergy offers both AC and DC charger options. I was impressed with how easy their 25kW bi-directional ready DC charging unit was to install and commission—it worked flawlessly the first time.

Both their AC and DC chargers are OCPP enabled, so they can use third-party apps like ChargeHQ.

Price-wise, the 25kW DC charging module runs an eye-watering $8,600, while the single-phase AC charger runs a much more reasonable $1,200.

SQ employee Jono just had the AC charger installed at his place. Watch this space for the video of his installation coming soon.

What Do These EV Chargers Cost?

My EV charger comparison table shows pricing for all the winners plus heaps of other brands.

To compare this year’s winners:

• Fronius Wattpilot – $1,800
• Tesla Wall Connector – $800
• Sigenergy AC charger – $1,200
• Sigenergy DC charger (25 kW) – $8,600

These prices don’t include installation costs, which vary depending on the complexity of the job.

An easy install—with a pre-wired garage—could cost as low as $600. A harder install involving long cable runs, dynamic load control and underground trenching could cost as much as $4,000.
