Plug in your car

It’s important to know which plug type is compatible with your car. The majority of EVs in Australia use the CCS2 charging standard, though there are some cars that use CHAdeMO, like the Nissan Leaf

  • Remove the correct plug from the dock and plug it into your car. Make sure it’s inserted all the way in.
  • Did you know, you can filter by plug type in the Evie App, so you only see the number of plugs relevant to you at each station?
