Buying an EV charger at Bunnings? What to check before you do

Why it matters: The Tesla Wall Connector is a well-proven charger, and Bunnings is often the cheapest place to buy it, so there's no reason to avoid it there.

Bunnings now sells home EV chargers in store and online. The headline item is Tesla's Gen 3 Wall Connector at $750, a little under its usual $800 and below JET Charge's $770 sale price, alongside DeWalt's 7 kW charger at $899, a Deta 7 kW unit at $379 and special-order brands such as SEVR. Bunnings can also arrange installation from $699 at selected stores, covering a basic job in the same building as your switchboard, with up to 10 m of cable, a 40 A breaker and Wi-Fi setup. Switchboard upgrades, longer cable runs, trenching and asbestos are extra, and SolarQuotes was also charged an $84 attendance fee on its quote. Not every brand has lasted: Deta and Arlec wall chargers are no longer sold in South Australia, where new chargers must meet state smart-charging rules.

How we work it out, and our sources

Weekly cost = the car's energy use × 250 km × your electricity or fuel price, with 90% of charging at home. Prices are list prices at November 2026; check with the dealer.

  • Electricity: 2026–27 default rates (AER, Victorian Default Offer, state retailers). Public charging: Sydney network prices, July 2026.
  • Petrol and diesel: capital-city daily averages from state government price feeds, via FuelRadar, 12 November 2026. Diesel for Hobart, Canberra and Darwin is estimated from the national fall.
  • Cars: maker figures via CarExpert, Drive, CarsGuide and EV Central. Plug-in electric range is taken as 80% of the claim.
  • Servicing: published capped prices; marked as an estimate where not yet published (CarExpert comparison).
  • Tyres: an EV set lasts about 35,000 km, a petrol or hybrid set 50,000 km (RACV); prices from Gridly.
  • Home charger: about $2,000 installed ($1,000–$3,000). Novated leases: PwC summary.
