Our impact.
We love doing things differently.
Our mission extends beyond just providing excellent, high-quality electrical services to our local community in Hobart and around Tasmania.
We exist to create a fairer and more sustainable world.
As Tasmania’s first and only solar powered electrician, we provide electrical services in our second-hand electric van powered by the sunshine.
Unlike a traditional for profit business, we reinvest all of our profits back into our core mission, which is taking climate action.
We are a verified social enterprise with People and Planet First.
Our profits fund clean energy education projects in schools and support communities to phase out the use of gas and fossil fuels.
Support us by spreading the word and get in touch for your electrical projects.

Please note: this product is only available to purchase for Tasmanian customers of This is Electric. For other customers, please purchase this product directly from Evnex.
We are required to refund any purchases made where we are not installing the product ourselves.
The Evnex E2 Flex is a 7.4kW single-phase EV charger perfect for homes without solar.
It charges quickly and safely from the grid, and comes complete with smart scheduling and overload protection, so you can keep your home safe and your car moving with just a few taps.
If you get solar later down the track, you can upgrade to solar smarts for a one-off fee of $349. If you're planning on getting solar installed in the next 12 months, we'd suggest getting our E2 Core or E2 Plus.
What's included?
Evnex E2 Flex smart EV charger (7.4kW)
5m tethered charging cable
Mobile app (including access to charging features)
Home overload protection
Includes power sensor (CT)
7-day local customer service, product updates, and ongoing support
User manual
Installation manual (for use by professional electricians only)

Upgradable features
Add on solar smarts for $349 - a software update that will not require a return visit from your electrician.
If you've got solar now, or plan to in the near future, we suggest exploring our E2 Core or E2 Pluschargers, which come complete with built-in solar diversion.
Important notes
The E2 Flex does not come with the Tesla charge port integration or the Tesla battery state of charge integration. For these features, please look at our E2 Plus model.
All Evnex chargers require an internet connection for continued operation. This can be provided via WiFi, 4G SIM (cellular), or Ethernet (depending on the charger model). Chargers can operate (without smart features) for up to 28 days at a time without connection.
Wall Connector is a convenient charging solution for houses, apartments, hospitality properties and workplaces. Wall Connector can add up to 75 km of range per hour (or 11 kW) and receives over-the-air updates, so it becomes better over time.
