Thinking about making the switch to an electric vehicle? Or maybe you already own an EV and want to learn more about home charging solutions? Then don’t miss our EV Experience Day at Mornington Kia!

📅 When? Friday 11th & Saturday 12th April 2025
⏰ Time? 9:00am – 5:00pm
📍 Where? Mornington Kia

What’s Happening?

🚗 Test Drive the Kia EV Range – Get behind the wheel of the EV3, EV5, EV6, and EV9 and see what makes them some of the best EVs on the market.

🔌 Explore the Best Home EV Chargers – Not all EV chargers are the same! Our experts, Tas and Ben, will be there to walk you through the differences between standard and smart chargers, and help you choose the right one for your needs.

Dunton Group EV Chargers on Display

We’ll be showcasing some of the best EV chargers available, including:

  • Tesla Wall Connector – Seamless and powerful home charging solution for Tesla owners, offering fast charging speeds and easy integration with your Tesla app.

  • MyEnergi Zappi – Smart charger that can be powered by your home’s solar system, making it an energy-efficient choice for those looking to maximise self-consumption.

  • Fronius Wattpilot – A flexible charging solution that can switch between single-phase and three-phase power, perfect for both home and travel use.

Standard vs Smart Chargers – What’s the Difference?

A standard EV charger simply charges your vehicle, while a smart charger gives you added control over when and how you charge. Smart chargers can:
✅ Integrate with your solar system to use excess energy
✅ Allow scheduled charging to take advantage of off-peak rates
✅ Provide real-time monitoring via smartphone apps

If you’re unsure which charger is best for your home, this is the perfect opportunity to ask!

Why join us at EV Experience Day

✅ Try before you buy – Experience the latest EV technology firsthand
✅ Get expert advice – Learn how to make the most of EV charging at home
✅ Exclusive offers – We’re working on some special deals for attendees

No need to register – just drop in, take a test drive, and have a chat with our team!
