Another EV soon followed &#8211; an Electric Mini Cooper S for his partner, Chantel.<\/p>\n<p>It was during the Electric Mini purchase Finn realised some Australian EV buyers are likely not considering or being properly informed about crucial aspects of electric car ownership; particularly in relation to time- and cost-efficient EV charging. Finn was also being asked a lot of questions about his EV, his charging setup at home and the tie-in with solar power, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/\">home EV charger<\/a> should I buy?<\/li>\n<li>How much does home electric vehicle charging cost?<\/li>\n<li>What are the differences between Level 1, 2 and 3 charging?<\/li>\n<li>How many extra solar panels should I install on my home to support an EV?<\/li>\n<li>Can I charge an electric car from a home battery? Should I?<\/li>\n<li>Can I power my home with an electric car&#8217;s battery?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While SolarQuotes isn&#8217;t about to become an EV website as such, Finn decided to create a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/\">EV section<\/a> to answer these questions and many more. So, in addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/category\/electric-vehicles\/\">blog posts on electric vehicles<\/a>, here&#8217;s what&#8217;s on offer now (for starters):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/ev-charging-guide\/\">EV Charging 101<\/a>: This comprehensive guide covers pretty much everything you&#8217;ll need to know about EV charging at home and away from it; and all explained clearly.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/compare-ev-chargers\/\">Compare EV chargers<\/a>: A comparison table showing specifications and estimated pricing of home EV chargers currently available in Australia.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/ev-charger-map\/\">Australian Public EV Charger Locations<\/a>: This searchable map indicates locations and details of public EV charging stations across Australia, and is continuously updated.<\/li>\n<li><b>UPDATED<\/b>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev\/solar-electric-cars\/\">Homeowner\u2019s Guide To Solar And EVs<\/a>: Answers to the most common questions Finn gets about solar power, batteries, and how they tie in with electric vehicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>.. and:<\/p>\n<h2>Home EV Charger Quotes<\/h2>\n<p>SolarQuotes currently has a network of 490 solar installers across Australia Finn has personally pre-vetted. A few months back he asked those installers whether they were also supplying and installing &#8211; or considering installing &#8211; EV chargers; and a bunch of them already were.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being able to receive quotes for solar power systems, home batteries, system maintenance and repairs from professionals Finn trusts, Australians can now also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/quote\/\">get up to 3 quotes<\/a> for EV chargers through the SolarQuotes service. This can be as part of a solar system installation, or as a stand-alone acquisition (even if you don&#8217;t and won&#8217;t have solar panels installed).<\/p>\n<p>These hand-picked installers know their stuff. If you decide to get a free, no-obligation EV charger quote through SQ, you can be confident you&#8217;ll receive solid advice on the best charging solution for your circumstances &#8211; and a great installation experience.<\/p>\n<p>Finn has much more planned in the electric vehicle space, so stay tuned and sign up for the weekly SolarQuotes newsletter (use the button below) to keep informed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SolarQuotes is filling a gap in knowledge in Australia on electric vehicle charging with new tools, guides and advice added to the SQ web site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":62490,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[686],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcements","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
