Answer / verdict (illustrative scenario, not a quote). For a single 180 kW DC fast charger at an Australian logistics park, modelled over a 25-year horizon at an 8.00% discount rate with USD 90,000 landed CapEx and USD 9,000/yr OpEx, the computed NPV is USD 376,641.50, simple payback is 1.99 years, and discounted payback is 2.26 years. TCO per km is USD 0.0890 (EV) vs USD 0.2560 (ICE), a saving of USD 0.1670/km (USD 1,670,000 over the 25-year horizon). The page is a generic OEM-agnostic reference template — no specific product model, SKU, OEM manual revision or torque/SOC/voltage limits are identified. Evidence date: 2026-09-21.

This page is a reference template for the class of product (180 kW DC EVSE for an Australian logistics park), not a recommendation, datasheet, or quote for any specific make or model. No specific OEM, no specific model number, no specific SKU, no OEM manual title, no manual revision, and no specific torque / SOC / voltage limits are stated. To convert this template into a procurement-grade landed-cost estimate, the buyer must name a specific OEM product family (e.g. Sungrow, Huawei, BYD, Growatt, or equivalent), cite its public datasheet PDF or product page, and supply a binding FOB/CIF quotation.
No third-party reviews, rankings, supplier logos or "No.1" claims are published on this page. No review stars, certification body logos, OEM logos, or comparative rankings appear in the body or in the markup. Any certificate numbers, test reports or supplier identities must be quoted by the named OEM at RFQ stage and verified against the original certification body.

Method: payback (years) = CapEx ÷ [180 kW × 8,760 h × utilisation × (service − electricity) − OpEx] with CapEx = USD 90,000, OpEx = USD 9,000/yr (year 1; same OpEx used across the grid as a fixed-year-1 proxy), electricity = USD 0.12/kWh. Values are recomputed using the model's CapEx/OpEx convention, not the prior draft's hand‑rounded numbers, and published verbatim below.

Sum of nominal cash flows years 0–5, using the computed cash-flow table above: −90,000 + 45,400 + 45,220 + 45,036.40 + 44,849.13 + 44,658.11 = +USD 135,163.64 (nominal). On a discounted basis over 5 years (sum of the discounted-net column): −90,000 + 42,037.04 + 38,768.86 + 35,751.35 + 32,965.45 + 30,393.56 = +USD 89,916.26 (discounted). The previously cited "positive USD 135,000" figure is the nominal 5-year cumulative cash position, not a discounted figure and not "5-yr net profit"; the discounted 5-year net position is +USD 89,916.26. Both figures must be quoted with the basis they refer to.

The Australian Border Force Working Tariff must be queried with the exact HS national line at the time of import; this page marks the line PENDING until a current lookup is recorded by a licensed broker.
Electrical products supplied in Australia generally require RCM evidence of compliance with applicable ACMA / EESS rules; the specific EVSE scheme and acceptable evidence should be confirmed with the regulator prior to supply.
The scenario gives a simple payback of 1.99 years, a discounted payback of 2.26 years, and an NPV of USD 376,641.50 over a 25-year horizon at 8.00% discount. These are scenario outputs, not a quote.
IEC 61851-1 and IEC 62196 are the common international references for DC EVSE; the Australian-adopted edition must be verified at procurement against the OEM's test dossier.
No fixed number is published on this generic template. The duty rates, GST and shipping surcharges change; the OEM quote is binding only after the RFQ is returned.
CIP Port of Destination is a practical starting point — the exporter retains freight and insurance responsibility up to the AU port while you keep local customs clearance, GST input recovery and last-mile logistics in your control.
