Key takeaways
- Smart chargers ramp with your solar generation automatically.
- 7 kW suits most homes; 22 kW is overkill for typical commutes.
- Pairing with a battery enables overnight charging on stored solar.
An EV charger paired with rooftop solar is the cheapest 'fuel' you'll ever buy.
Smart chargers can be set to 'solar-only' modes that ramp up and down with your solar generation, so you never import grid power to charge.
A 7kW home charger is plenty for most households; 22kW is overkill unless you do high daily kilometres.
