How much does it cost to use an EV charger?

Public DC fast charging in Australia typically costs between 40c and 80c per kWh, a range the NSW Government says is set by the market and varies with the network, charging speed and location⁴. Operators such as Evie and NRMA now show their exact rates only in their apps, so prices at a given site can sit anywhere in that range. Slower AC chargers usually cost less and some are free, and a full charge typically lands between about $14 and $47 depending on vehicle size (Evie's estimate)⁵.
