I have an electric vehicle, does my inverter or battery have to be next to where I charge my car?

Not necessarily, your EV might be charged from a wired-in charger or power point connected to your electricity switchboard. Your solar and battery system will be connected to your switchboard.

If your EV charger supports integration with Solar/Battery system you will be able to charge your car using power from your solar or battery when needed, even if your car and battery aren’t close together.

For an overview of battery locations, see our Battery Location Fact Sheet.

And to plan your battery location, see our Battery Location Check List.
