Maximise Your Savings with Home EV Charging

Welcome to the future of affordable and convenient EV charging! At SAEV Charge, we believe in empowering you to take control of your EV charging costs by bringing the power home.

Discover how charging at home can lead to significant savings compared to using public fast chargers.

The Cost of Public Fast Chargers vs. Home Charging

Public fast chargers can cost as much as R7.40 per kW (kilowatt-hour). In contrast, typical energy tariffs at home, even at the highest rates in Cape Town, top out at R3.76 per kW.

This stark difference means you can save up to 50% on your charging costs simply by opting to charge your EV at home.

Savings Calculation Example

If you drive an EV that consumes 15 kW to travel 100 km, here’s what you’d pay:

  • Public Fast Charger: 15 kW x R7.40 = R111.00
  • Home Charging: 15 kW x R3.76 = R56.40

Savings per 100 km: R111.00 - R56.40 = R54.60

Over the course of a year, assuming you drive 15,000 km, the savings can add up significantly

  • Annual Cost with Public Fast Charger: 15,000 km / 100 km x R111.00 = R16,650
  • Annual Cost with Home Charging: 15,000 km / 100 km x R56.40 = R8,460

The Added Benefits of Home Charging

Convenience

Charge your EV overnight and wake up to a full battery every morning.
