Do I need a smart meter?
For the EV Night Charge plan, yes — it measures off-peak usage separately. CovaU can arrange installation.
Does it work with my charger?
Yes — it works with any home EV charger or standard outlet. You control the schedule via your vehicle or charger app.
What if I have solar?
Solar + EV is the most cost-effective combination — charge from rooftop by day and the grid off-peak at night.
Will my bill increase?
Your usage rises but cost-per-kWh for charging drops sharply — most households net a saving vs a second petrol car.

EV charging FAQs
How much does it cost to charge an EV at home?
On CovaU’s EV Night Charge off-peak rate, a typical 60kWh EV costs roughly $6–9 to fully charge overnight — compared to $80–120 to fill a petrol car of equivalent range.
Is a smart meter required?
For the EV Night Charge plan with time-of-use rates, yes. A smart meter records usage by time period so the off-peak rate can be applied correctly. CovaU can arrange installation.
Can I add GreenPower to my EV plan?
Yes. CovaU offers GreenPower as an add-on to any plan, including EV plans. GreenPower matches your consumption with renewable energy certificates, making your charging genuinely carbon-neutral.
What if I also have solar panels?
You can combine an EV plan with CovaU’s solar feed-in tariff. Charge your EV from your rooftop during the day and from the grid at off-peak rates at night — the most cost-effective setup for EV owners.
