Frequently Asked Questions
Our AmpCharge on the road charging points have industry standard CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors attached to charging connectors as required by ARENA, which are generally compatible with most EVs available in Australia. You shouldn't need to bring your own charging cable to site. However, you may need to bring your plug adapter.

Please note other external factors influence charging time including, but not limited to, your vehicle specifications, state of charge, air temperature etc.
*Charging point confidence range is the maximum distance that someone would be confident driving on electric power between charges. Real range will depend on various factors including driving conditions, outside temperature, heating/air conditioning and driving style, etc.
+Charging time may be limited by the maximum charging rate of the electric vehicle.
