Why Install a Home EV Charger in Bilyana?
Bilyana has 91% car ownership, well above average. As more households transition to electric vehicles, home charging becomes essential for convenient, low-cost daily charging. Rather than competing for public stations, a home wallbox lets you charge overnight and wake up to a full battery every morning.
With only 2 public chargers in Bilyana, having a home wallbox removes reliance on public infrastructure. You control when you charge, and you benefit from lower household electricity rates.
Charging overnight on off-peak rates of 16c/kWh in QLD can save significantly compared to public charging networks, which typically charge 45 to 65c/kWh. Over a year of driving (15,000 km), that works out to roughly $432 in electricity at home.
Bilyana already has 1,114 solar systems installed. Pairing rooftop solar with a home EV charger means you can charge your car during the day for essentially free โ making the economics even stronger than off-peak grid charging.
With a median household income of $67,392 in Bilyana and annual fuel savings of $2,182, a home EV charger pays for itself in 1 years โ then keeps saving you money every year after.
