As electric vehicle (and plug-in hybrid) technology develops and more people make the switch, electric vehicle innovations offer better, faster and more convenient ways to keep your EV powered up. Bunnings is the home of EV charging solutions, stocked with products to meet the charging needs of EV and PHEV owners.
Electric vehicle chargers
A hardwired electric vehicle charger (on a wall, or pole-mounted in the driveway) will be your primary charging solution for a drive-ready electric vehicle. Bunnings can equip you with the right charger for your home and your vehicle and even hook you up with a certified electrician to install it. Before you head in store, arm yourself with relevant information. First up, figure out what kind of power you’re on – single-phase power is standard but if you’re on three-phase power (check with a certified electrician), your home can better accommodate higher loads and, depending on your electric vehicle, it may charge more quickly. Also check your plug type – the majority of electric vehicles will use a Type 2 plug, but earlier models may vary. Some chargers, like the DeWalt IP65 smart charger, will offer additional smart functionality, which allows you to manage charging and monitor your power use via an app.

Electric vehicle innovations
Avoid range anxiety by equipping yourself with flexible electric vehicle charging solutions for on the road. If you’re staying away from home – visiting family, for example – you will need a Level 1 portable electric vehicle charging cable, which can be plugged into a standard power point. Some public charging stations have charging cables attached, but others do not; be prepared for these by carrying your own Deta Type 2 EV charging cable.
Electric vehicle accessories
From a case for a portable electric vehicle charger to a simple strap for coiled cords, Arlec electric vehicle accessories help keep your charging kit safe, clean and ordered. Electric vehicle charging cables can be up to seven metres long, so cable management solutions are a must to keep your set-up organised, the plug clear of dust and your garage floor free of trip hazards. Metres of robust cable are fairly hefty, so find a quality holder that can handle its weight.
