Frequently Asked Questions

Can you plug an electric car into a regular outlet?

Yes, all electric car subscriptions come with a slow (trickle) charger that can be connected to a general-purpose outlet, or household power point. Charging your car with these chargers can be slow but they can safely charge the battery all day, or night without damaging it. Most feature automatic cycles that turn off the charger when the battery is at its optimum capacity.

Where can you charge my electric car if you’re not home?

While home charging may be cheaper and easier day-to-day, it won’t serve you on longer journeys. For these trips, you’ll need to turn to the growing number of public charging stations. The Electric Vehicle Council provides a map of charging stations across Australia. Note that these may require a fee in the same way that you pay for petrol.

What happens if I run out of battery on the road?

Your electric car subscription comes with Australia-wide roadside assistance. This covers you and any approved drivers 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. And as a carbar subscriber through the Aurora Energy partnership, you have unlimited callouts for flat batteries (charges), key lock-outs, flat tyre changes, breakdown, towing and more.

Do I need to be an Aurora Energy customer to subscribe to an electric car?

No. You can still sign up to carbar’s electric car subscription service through the Aurora Energy partnership even if you’re not currently an Aurora Energy customer.
