Charge Your EV at Home — Powered by the Sun
MAKN Energy supplies and installs smart EV chargers across Adelaide. Charge faster at home, take advantage of cheaper off-peak electricity, and control when and how your EV charges.
The Smart Way to Charge Your Electric Vehicle
As electric vehicles become mainstream in Australia, having a fast, reliable home charger is no longer a luxury — it's a necessity. A dedicated EV charger installed by a licensed electrician charges your car up to 10x faster than a standard power point, and when paired with your solar system, you can charge your EV entirely from free solar energy. Makn Energy is your local SA specialist for EV charger supply, installation, and solar integration.
10x Faster Than a Power Point
A standard 10A power point adds just 10–15km of range per hour. A dedicated 7.4kW home charger adds 40–50km per hour — a full charge overnight, every night.
Charge Free with Solar
Pair your EV charger with your solar system and charge your car entirely from free solar energy during the day. Eliminate your fuel costs completely.
Charge from Battery at Night
With a home battery, store your solar energy during the day and charge your EV overnight from stored solar — not the grid. Maximum savings, zero compromise.
Smart Scheduling & Monitoring
Modern smart chargers let you schedule charging during off-peak tariff periods, monitor energy use, and control everything from your smartphone.
Increase Property Value
A professionally installed EV charger is an increasingly desirable feature for homebuyers. Future-proof your property as EV adoption accelerates.
Safe, Compliant Installation
All our EV charger installations are performed by licensed electricians and comply with AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and network operator requirements.
How Fast Can You Charge?
A 25kW DC charger sends power directly to the battery, bypassing the vehicle's onboard AC charger — so most compatible EVs receive close to the charger's full output.
| Charging method | Max power | Range per hour | 60kWh charge time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal 10A GPO | 2.3kW | 10–15km | 27–32 hours |
| 7kW AC charger | 7kW | 35–45km | 9–10 hours |
| 11kW AC charger | 11kW | 55–70km | 5.5–7 hours |
| 22kW AC charger | 22kW | 100–130km | Around 3 hours |
| 12kW DC charger — Sigenergy | 12kW | 60–80km | Around 5–6 hours |
| 25kW DC charger — Sigenergy | 25kW | 120–160km | Around 2.5–3 hours |
Actual charging times depend on the vehicle, battery size, temperature and charge level. Check your EVs Maximum Charging rate as most are limited to 7kW or 11kW even when connected to a higher-rated charger. DC charging usually has a much higher limit - 100kW+

Solar + EV: The Perfect Combination
The average Australian drives around 40km a day, requiring approximately 8–10kWh of electricity. Charge directly from your solar during the day, or take advantage of selected EV electricity plans offering overnight charging from around 4 cents per kWh. That means 40km of driving could cost as little as 32–40 cents in electricity. Add a home battery to store excess solar and reduce your energy costs even further.
