RedEarth introduced a local V2G and V2H EV charger and provided the cost of installation and pricing.
Brisbane-based clean energy storage and electric vehicle (EV) Charger Company RedEarth has offered an update on its Australian-made vehicle-to-grid (V2G) bi-directional EV charger. The RedEarth V2G charger will allow owners of compatible EVs to power their home with their car’s battery (Vehicle to Home - V2H), and to export energy and utility from their car’s battery to the grid (Vehicle to Grid - V2G). The chargers will be manufactured in RedEarth’s Brisbane factory. RedEarth says pre-ordering for the 11kW three-phase bi-directional model will begin next month, with customer orders expected to begin being fulfilled in February 2026. There will be a 7.4 kW single-phase charger, followed by a commercial grade 22kW three-phase charger.
“The Gecko has been designed for simplicity and speeds of installation, helping installers respond to the increased market demand driven by the Cheaper Home Batteries Program,” said Marc Sheldon, Chief Operating Officer of RedEarth. “When paired with our Private Power Plant platform, customers gain complete control over their energy, giving them the opportunity to participate in the energy market.” The 11kW charger will have a retail price of $9,990 ex GST or $10,989 inclusive of GST plus installation costs. While installing an EV charger could potentially cost as little as a few hundred dollars, the final cost will certainly depend on installation complexity. Generally, most people can expect to pay more than $1,000 - $1,500 as installation costs which would be on top of the charger hardware cost.
In the near future, customers can expect the launch of the Gecko system and the release of the Troppo Ultra Battery which offers a 40% increase in core capacity. RedEarth aims on having customers pursue energy independence like choose how they store, trade and share their energy.
