Got it for $459 from Bunnings price beat, can use Bunnings Gift card for further saving.
Decent price for Tesla owners.

Mod Update 4:45PM AEST: Bunnings has matched the price, so unable to price-beat anymore.

An application for the winding up of EV Charging Australia was commenced on 23/07/2024 in the Queensland Supreme Court, Action No. 9651/24 3/9/2024. The company renewed its business registration on 19/3/2025. Comment from dahe88 quoted recent reviews regarding product non-fulfilment and failure to recover monies.

    For me, Bunnings staff in-store declined the price match, stating they don’t price match Tesla products. However, I was able to get the price matched through online chat.

      Damn at this price I automatically assumed it was a 6kW wall charger with the 6 in the title.

      Glad I got those price error chargers from a while back. $250 for an EVSE 22kW 3 phase charger.

    • caprimulgus on 18/05/2026 - 12:41

      To be fair, these are well built portable EVSE capable of up to 32A / 7kw with the right tail. A lot more expensive than a normal granny charger - but the majority of those are limited to 10A/15A. Compared to other 32A capable ones, it's not unreasonable.

      Tesla UMC is only single phase though, which has some drawbacks for country usage, apparently:
      https://www.tocwa.org.au/2022/10/06/the-downsides-to-road-tr…

      There are three phase alternatives, that can do up to 22kw (for cars capable of 22kw AC, or to avoid the 7kw single phase issues noted above): eg. the Juice Booster 2 (expensive), Kwik (similar to the Tesla UMC) and Khons (cheap). I don't have one myself, but if I was looking to get one, I'd look at the Khons unit personally.

      I went cheap and bought a third party one. I probably should have got this.

      The official Tesla one allows you to unplug it if I am standing with the phone key and touch it. I don't have to press "unlock charge port" either on the phone/car/watch.

      In a recent software update, you can hold the rear left passenger door handle open for 3 seconds to unlock the port, so that's OK but it's not… just beautiful.

      Maybe this isn't worth the extra $300 or so to some people but I think is worth knowing before you go cheap and get a third party. Also as mentioned this bad boy can do 32A too with a tail. Also depends if you use the mobile charger as your daily charger. If it's just to carry on roadtrips/emergency then don't bother.

      Makes sense for Tesla owners as there is a button to unlock the charge port on the handle itself, so worth the cost for some people

      For a 32A EVSE there's plenty of other options other than this + a 32A tail… considering that the button on the handle is useless for essentially 100% of non-Tesla owners

  • Ooops on 18/05/2026 - 13:46

    The charging capacities of 10A and 15A are only available when used with Tesla vehicles with software 2021.12.25 or later installed and can only be achieved after at least one charge cycle and a software update are completed.

    • 1
    • orangecarpet-22 on 18/05/2026 - 14:17

      That's 2021 software and all Teslas can update beyond that.

      The reason is Tesla limited 10A to 8A and 15A to 12A because in some countries, you can't often rely on a circuit to provide the full juice for long periods of time.

      In Australia, this isn't the typical case. You can reliably pull 10A and 15A off their respective circuits and don't need to limit yourself (all wiring is probably 16A anyway).

      The only "bad" thing to happen is you trip it by having other high draw devices on the circuit, rather than start a fire by melting cable that can't do sustained 10A or 15A.

      One charge cycle is to ensure the car updates the firmware on the charger once the charger is idle (full charge on car).

      • coxymla on 18/05/2026 - 14:29

        It's still a valid point. If you buy this EVSE for your non-Tesla EV, you will be limited to 8A and 12A, which limits the value proposition.

        • 1
        • caprimulgus on 18/05/2026 - 14:53

          AFAIK, you just need to update the firmware on the UMC once, and then it will work at 10A/15A.

          Can take it to a Tesla Service Centre to update for you, or if you know someone with a Tesla get them to update it (although even some Teslas have issues with updating them, apparently).

          (But yeah, I would probably just buy a different portable EVSE if I had a non-tesla.)

            @caprimulgus: FYI, there is a bug in the current Model 3 and Y software preventing them from pushing out the Firmware update.

            Currently, the only way to push the update to the UMC is by plugging into a Model S or X.

            If you don't have a Tesla, I would recommend avoiding the UMC.

              …or, taking it to a Tesla Service Centre, as I already said.

              (Not that I am recommending non-Tesla owners to buy one - I've already said three times in this deal that I would buy the Khons instead! I'm just saying that the initial power limit is not the deal-breaker it's being made out to be. If a non-Tesla driver really wants to own a Tesla UMC for whatever reason…they certainly can. I wouldnt myself.)

                  @Friskies: So it's doable right?

                  So if a person wants a Tesla UMC (for some reason), they could arrange for it to be unlocked, right?

                  Not sure why this is so hard to understand…all I am saying is that it is possible to unlock it at a service centre. Not saying you SHOULD do this. Not saying it will happen on the spot, immediately, at your whim. Just saying it's possible to be arranged, if one really really wants a Tesla UMC for their non-Tesla (for whatever reason). All I am saying is that it is possible - nothing more, nothing less.

                  Source: I just went through the whole process and had a great chat with the team 🥲

          The ones they're selling will have newer firmware than 2021 and will do 10 and 16A.

          If not, just get a Tesla or the service centre to update it for you, but I believe this is unlikely to be necessary.

          The best feature (Auto Unlock) requires a Tesla anyway, so I don't know why other EV buyers would want this anyway.

          • 1
    • Dogsrule on 19/05/2026 - 08:52

      That hasn't been true for over 4 years. The problem was limited to UMC's that were originally sold with the tails rated to 8A/12A - this rating is printed on the tails themselves and they are incapable of charging above that rating no matter the firmware version. You can however swap them out for 10A/15A tails and the UMC will charge at those speeds after the firmware update.

      The later UMC's came with tails rated to 10A/15A and the appropriate firmware. Those have always been able to charge any vehicle at 10A/15A.

      I know this because I got the older version UMC when I bought my car. That one started throwing errors after a couple of charges, so they sent me a new one with the higher rated tails. That one charges our BZ4X at 10A/15A with the new tails, and only 8A/12A with the older tails when I tested them.

    Question, is it really worth getting first party charger at this price than something from Amazon that can give you amp control on the device and also come with 10/15A options. Sadly the product is no longer on Amazon but this was the description:

    EV Charger Type 2 [3.5 kW|6M|10A to 15A Adapter] dé Portable EV Chargers with Australian 15A Charger EV, Adjustable Current Compatible with Tesla Model Y/3, BYD/MG/Polestar/Kia and Other PHEV/BEV

    • 0
    • caprimulgus on 18/05/2026 - 15:43

      FWIW, the Tesla UMC comes with 10A & 15A tails, but can go up to 32A with the right tail (additional purchase). So it's not a direct comparison for the one you linked (which is limited to 15A).

      (There are other third party options that do 32A, and there are also ones that are three phase and can do 22kw - this Tesla UMC is single phase, and can only do 7kw).

      Whether the Tesla UMC is "worth it" compared to other options is up to you to decide. For me personally, I would buy the Khons 22kw three phase unit, if I was going to buy one (I was going to buy one, but decided I didn't need it).

    • coxymla on 18/05/2026 - 15:55

      I'm not a fan of those generic 15A EVSE that use a dodgy 10A to 15A tail and rely on the user setting the amperage correctly.

    • Brianqpr on 19/05/2026 - 07:29

      I decided it was worth it after reading reviews that suggest the cheaper ones aren't that safe in terms of things like overheating. Also if you have a Tesla then the Tesla charger works better with the app etc.

      • samkenny on 19/05/2026 - 10:56

        Interesting that the Tesla charger seems to interact with the app. Does that mean it connects to the internet?
        I’ve been running the one I have for more than a year now at 8A, initially 6A, to make sure I don’t overload the circuit. I didn’t think that level of control was possible with Tesla’s own chargers.
        That said, I can see you can adjust the charging amps directly from the car or the phone app…double safety then?

    Just a reminder that EVChargingAus is a fraudulent store who seemingly exist just to be a way to try to scam a price match, as has been noted every other time someone 'discovers' the website and posts a 'deal' here.

    If you're both willing and able to manage to trick the staff into a price match then fair enough, but this shouldn't really be considered a deal post considering it isn't really obtainable to most unless you get lucky with a staff member that doesn't know better.

          There are bi-directional chargers around that already work with existing Tesla vehicles, such as the Sigenergy DC. However that isn't the real issue. The real issue with Tesla is that you can't do bidirectional charging without voiding the warranty (unless you have the CT or Y L).

            @noz: Maybe, but the model 3 came out here in 2019 so the battery warranty is about to expire on those cars delivered.

            I'm less concerned about the warranty and more concerned about the functionality on my 2022 MY.

              @eddyah: Well if you're not worried about warranty, then go for it. People are using their Tesla for V2G/V2H with Sig DC charger, but you obviously need at least a Sig battery inverter as well. Or you can get a portable V2L device that can do up to 5kW, such as this: https://www.myteslaaccessories.com.au/products/tesla-v2l-veh… .
