What is the EV charger rebate?

The EV charger rebate is a cash incentive available to eligible South Australian households that install an approved electric vehicle (EV) charger and connect it to an approved demand response aggregator.

These aggregators allow charging to be managed during peak demand periods, helping support the electricity network while still giving you control over when you charge your vehicle.

Incentives are delivered under the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) and are available through accredited providers like MAC Trade Services.

A person’s hand plugs a charging cable into a yellow electric car, with buildings and another car visible in the blurred background—perfect for those looking to maximise savings with a battery rebate.

Frequently Asked Questions

We strive to keep our list of eligible models updated, but new products enter the market regularly. If your model is not listed, please contact us with the specific model details, and we will inform you if it is eligible. If it meets the criteria, we will update our website's model list so that you can proceed with your application.

The REPS program has Priority Group and Non-Priority Group targets. Priority or Hardship Households may be eligible for an additional rebate of up to 30%. Therefore, we need to know if you have a concession or health care card to determine your eligibility for the extra rebate.

In order to approve REPS rebates, we must provide evidence of eligibility to retailers and the South Australian Government. The requested photos and documents serve as the most convenient and effective way to fulfill these eligibility requirements.

The processing of rebate payments may take up to 60 days from the date your application is verified and approved. Our team conducts assessments on each application to ensure compliance, which contributes to the processing time.

Yes, the rebate can be combined with other promotions, including "cash back" offers.
