As more drivers transition to electric while charger installations lag, MSI is launching two EV charging solutions tailored specifically for Australian needs: the MSI EZgo Portable Charger and the MSI EV Series. Both products will be showcased at Everything Electric Australia NSW from 7–9 March, supporting the nation’s shift towards cleaner, electrified transport.
Addressing Australia’s EV Charger Gap
“Australia’s 2050 net-zero target, combined with an open market and free-trade policies, creates an ideal environment for innovation and competition,” said Jerry Lu, General Manager of MSI Australia. “By aligning our technology with government initiatives like the $500 million Driving the Nation Program to accelerate EV adoption, we’re assisting Aussie drivers in seamlessly transitioning to electric vehicles in urban and remote areas.”
Australian EV sales hit 9.65% of total car sales in 2024 — almost one in 10 new vehicles — demonstrating significant growth from 8.45% in 2023. Despite this surge, charging infrastructure hasn’t kept pace. However, the number of public fast chargers recently doubled to over 1,800 across 1,000 locations, and overage remains a concern, forcing many drivers to depend heavily on home charging. As Australia transitions to a greener economy, there’s a clear need for high-quality, versatile charging solutions—both at home and on the road.
EZgo Portable Charger: Tackling range anxiety with local partnerships
After a successful debut at CES in January, the MSI EZgo Portable Charger delivers plug-and-play convenience for on-the-go charging. By partnering with local smart socket provider NOX Energy and its Intelligent Power Socket (IPS), EZgo integrates load management, flexible scheduling, and remote monitoring—all controlled through an intuitive phone app.
Compact and lightweight enough for road trips, EZgo helps alleviate “range anxiety,” empowering Aussies to explore wherever life takes them. With public charging coverage still developing, it also serves as an ideal interim solution, ensuring drivers have reliable access to power while the infrastructure catches up.
MSI EV Series: Built for Australia’s tough outdoor conditions
Alongside EZgo, MSI introduces its EV Series, which is specifically designed for Australia’s challenging climate. Engineered to withstand temperatures up to 55°C, these chargers feature IP55 dust and water resistance, IK08 impact protection, and ASTM B117 salt-spray testing, making them ideal for the country’s extreme climate. Backed by a two-year warranty, local service support, and USD 5 million in product insurance, the EV Series provides peace of mind for home and commercial applications.
All MSI EV chargers fully comply with the Australian RCM standard to ensure product safety.
More innovation on the way
Later this year, MSI plans to introduce a solar-ready EV charger, further aligning with Australia’s growing emphasis on renewable energy. Driven by decades of research and development and a dedicated local team, MSI’s strategic roadmap promises continued innovation to meet the country’s evolving sustainability goals.
“MSI’s mission is to deliver reliable, forward-looking solutions that power Australia’s green future,” added Jerry Lu. “By continuously refining our hardware and software, we aim to meet current EV needs and stay one step ahead as the market expands and consumer expectations rise.”
