Subaru home EV chargers
Find home EV charger options for Subaru electric vehicles including the Solterra.
The Subaru Solterra is an all-electric SUV offered in Australia. Charging specifications differ by model year. Subaru's current MY26 Australian specifications list a maximum of 7 kW single-phase AC charging and up to 22 kW three-phase AC charging. Earlier Australian Solterra models were documented with lower three-phase AC charging capability.
A higher-power wallbox is useful only when the Solterra and the property's electrical supply can support it. Owners of an earlier Solterra should not assume the MY26 charging figures apply to their vehicle. A single-phase wallbox can still be a practical option when overnight charging meets the household's driving needs.
Before installing a charger, consider the vehicle's model year, available electrical phases, parking location and any existing solar or household energy-management equipment. A licensed electrician can assess circuit capacity, protection and whether load management is needed. HomeChargerMatch can help compare charger options using the vehicle and property information.

Subaru EV charging FAQs
Do I need a Subaru-branded home charger for my electric vehicle?
A Subaru electric vehicle with a Type 2 AC charging inlet can use a compatible Type 2 home charger. A Subaru-branded wallbox is not generally necessary. Confirm the charging connector and requirements of your exact vehicle before purchasing equipment.
How fast can my Subaru charge using a home wallbox?
Charging speed depends on your Subaru's maximum onboard AC charging rate, the charger's configured output and your home's electrical supply. Battery capacity and the amount of charge needed also affect charging time. Check your exact vehicle specifications rather than assuming every Subaru supports the same charging rate.
Is a 22 kW charger worthwhile for a Subaru EV?
A 22 kW charger may be worth considering if your property has suitable three-phase power or you are planning for other vehicles. However, your Subaru will only draw power up to its supported AC charging limit. A licensed electrician should assess whether the higher-capacity installation is appropriate.
Can I charge my Subaru using rooftop solar or off-peak electricity?
A compatible smart charger may allow scheduled charging during off-peak electricity periods. Solar-aware charging can also be supported when the charger has access to suitable solar generation and household consumption data. These features may require additional meters, CT clamps or other compatible equipment.
What should I check before installing a home charger for my Subaru?
Check your vehicle's charging requirements and where it will be parked. A licensed electrician should assess your home's electrical supply, switchboard capacity, circuit protection and cable route. They can also advise whether load management or an electrical upgrade is needed.
