Typically, new electric vehicle (EV) purchases come with a basic charger that can be connected to a standard household power outlet. However, for those looking for a quicker and more advanced charging experience, there are faster chargers available for an additional cost.  These upgraded charging units offer quicker charging times and added features such as monitoring and recharging capabilities.

The cost of these advanced charging units can range from $1,000 to $3,000, and they are not typically included as part of a novated lease package. While these chargers do come at an extra cost, they offer benefits such as faster charging times and more advanced monitoring capabilities, making them a worthwhile investment for those looking to optimise their EV charging experience.

Note:  The capital cost of the home charging / portal charging equipment is considered a capital cost an subject to fringe benefits tax.  See ATO website for further details
