METCO Charging Services brings Level 3 DC fast charging directly to you across Albury-Wodonga and surrounding regions. Emergency, fleet, and scheduled charging — we've got you covered.
As Australia transitions to electric vehicles, there's a lot to learn about this exciting new technology. Here's what you need to know.
An EV's battery capacity is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh), analogous to litres when discussing the fuel tank of a petrol or diesel vehicle. It represents the total amount of energy the vehicle can store and directly impacts how far you can travel on a single charge.
EV efficiency is measured in kilometres per kilowatt hour (km/kWh), the electric equivalent of litres per 100km. This tells you how far the vehicle can travel for each unit of energy consumed, and varies based on driving style, terrain, and conditions.
Range is calculated by dividing battery capacity (kWh) by efficiency (km/kWh). For example, a 75kWh battery with an efficiency of 6 km/kWh gives a theoretical range of 450km. Real-world range may vary based on conditions such as temperature, speed, and terrain.
Three main charging levels exist for electric vehicles, each suited to different situations and power requirements.
The most basic chargers, commonly used at home. They plug into a standard household outlet. Due to limited power, charge times can stretch to many hours or even multiple days, depending on your vehicle's battery size.
A significant step up in power and speed. Common at workplaces and public stations. Models above 7kW typically require three-phase 415V supply. The largest 22kW units can charge certain vehicles in just 3–4 hours.
The most powerful chargers available, outputting DC power directly to the vehicle's battery. These can fully charge most vehicles in well under an hour. This is what METCO brings to you — anywhere, anytime.
Level 1 and 2 chargers output AC (Alternating Current), which must be converted to DC by your vehicle's onboard converter before it can charge the battery. The capacity of this converter varies — premium models like some Tesla or BYD vehicles can accept the full 22kW, while budget models may be limited to 7kW.
Level 3 DC chargers bypass this limitation entirely by converting power externally and feeding DC directly into the battery. The only limit is the battery pack's ability to accept and dissipate heat from fast charging. Nearly all modern EVs can handle 50kW DC or more, with premium models accepting 300kW+.
METCO Charging Services brings Level 3 DC fast charging directly to you — anywhere across Albury-Wodonga and surrounding regions, anytime, 24/7.
Our charging vehicles are equipped with 60kW dual-port DC fast chargers with onboard power supply. We come to you — whether you're at home, at work, stranded roadside, or anywhere in between.
With our 60kW units, we can charge most vehicles from 0% to 80% in around 40 minutes. Our dual-port chargers can also simultaneously charge two vehicles at 30kW each.
Low on battery and can't reach a charging station? Call us anytime, day or night. We'll dispatch a mobile charger to your location to get you back on the road.

0466 937 324Simply call to book, and one of our mobile charging units will come to you. With its onboard power supply, it delivers up to 60kW output from our DC fast chargers. We support all makes and models compatible with CCS2. Whether you need a quick top-up or an emergency charge, we've got you covered — anywhere in the Albury-Wodonga region.
Yes! We offer the ability to schedule regular charging sessions to suit your routine. Whether you need daily, weekly, or custom scheduling for personal or fleet vehicles, give us a call to discuss your requirements and we'll set up a plan that works for you.
Our mobile charging vehicles are equipped with the latest 60kW dual-port DC fast chargers, capable of delivering up to 60kW to a single vehicle, or simultaneously charging two vehicles at 30kW each. At 60kW, most vehicles can charge from nearly 0% to 80% in about 40 minutes or less. However, charging times may vary due to vehicle-specific factors such as battery capacity (kWh), current charge level, and your car's maximum charging rate. Contact us for a more accurate estimate based on your specific vehicle.
We provide emergency charging assistance around the clock. If you find yourself low on battery and unable to reach a stationary charging station, call us immediately. We'll dispatch a mobile charger to your location as quickly as possible to provide enough power to get you to your destination or the nearest charging station.
