The EV plans you can get in NSW depend on which electricity network supplies your home: Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy or Essential Energy. Not every retailer offers its EV plan on all three, so this page shows what’s available on each network, with current rates and charging windows. Ausgrid customers in Sydney’s east, the Central Coast and the Hunter have the widest choice. Essential Energy customers in regional NSW have the fewest options.

How do I find out which electricity network I'm on in NSW?
Your network is listed on your electricity bill, usually under faults and emergencies. Ausgrid covers eastern, inner and northern Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter. Endeavour Energy covers Greater Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Southern Highlands and the Illawarra. Essential Energy covers most of regional and rural NSW.
Does the NSW Default Market Offer affect EV plans?
The Default Market Offer (DMO) is the maximum price retailers can charge NSW customers on standing offers. The Australian Energy Regulator sets it each year. EV plans are market offers, so the DMO doesn't cap their rates. Retailers must show how each plan compares with the DMO reference price, which gives you a quick way to check an EV plan's overall cost.
