Power Drive Day
No electricity usage costs for midday charging
No electricity usage costs to charge your electric car, every day between midday and 2pm.*
Solar-style rates, without the solar cost
No electricity usage costs while the sun’s at its peak, without paying for an expensive solar system –and get it all year round, even on cloudy winter days.
* Daily supply charges still apply.
Power Drive
Power up while you sleep
Charge your car while you sleep with a super off-peak rate between midnight and 4am – and wake up every morning ready to roll.
Charge for as little as $7 a week*
With a wall charger you could spend as little as $7 a week on charging – while driving every day.
Get the range you need in one night
A single night's charge gives the average city driver enough range to work with – so you're already ready to go for the day.
* Based on a customer on the Citipower distribution network in Victoria, using a super off-peak rate of 10.62c per kWh with a 7.2kw wall-mounted charger, charging a Tesla model 3 RWD to full over two days. Costs are calculated based on driving an average of 30km per day.

Cost of charging an EV at home
For electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, you can estimate your charging cost from the vehicle battery charged and the cost of the electricity rate during charge session.
For example, if your electricity is 25c/kWh and you drive a Tesla Model 3 with a 50kWh battery, the cost to charge will be $0.25 x 50 = $12.50
Energy monitoring
Powershop’s app lets you get energy insights at the tap of a button, so you can better manage your EV’s charging.
You can see your daily usage, current usage, usage patterns and you can annotate to help explain any spikes or drops in your power usage.
