Use the rate you can actually access.
Some plans cover all general household usage in a window. Origin EV Power Up applies an effective credit to controlled charging sessions. ENGIE advertises a credit against an underlying tariff. Amber uses changing wholesale prices with a monthly subscription. Those are different price structures.
For a useful estimate, put your address-specific rate into the charging-cost calculator and use your actual charging hours. Include your daily supply, other household usage and any subscription when comparing retailers.
State labels are indicative service areas. They do not establish that every address can join. This selection does not claim to contain every Australian electricity plan. Read the calculation method or compare public charging prices.
