Cheapest electricity plan for EV charging in Hobart
Homes in Hobart are connected to the grid through TasNetworks, and only 5 retailers sell electricity here, the fewest of any capital. That choice is worth real money.
The short answer
96 residential electricity plans serve Hobart. Charging a Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range overnight and driving 12,000km a year, the cheapest costs $221.60 a year and the dearest $636.02.
Same car, same kilometres, same house, $414.42 apart. That is the narrowest gap of any capital, which is what a small retail market looks like.
The cheapest plan in Hobart is Solstice Energy on Select Residential Consumer Energy Resources, at 11.31 cents per kilowatt hour between midnight and 6am. It reaches that rate through a time of use tariff rather than a flat one, so the saving depends on charging inside the cheap window.
