Cheapest electricity plan for EV charging in Brisbane
27 retailers sell residential electricity through Brisbane's Energex network — enough choice that the plan you pick matters more than the car you drive.
The short answer
There are 1,049 plans available to Brisbane households. For a Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range charging overnight at 12,000km a year, that ranges from $80.18 on the cheapest plan to $730.29 on the priciest — a $650.11 spread for the same use.
OVO Energy's The EV Plan wins on price at 4.09 cents per kilowatt hour overnight, a rate reserved for EV charging and well below anything general-purpose.
