The sale of electric luxury cars will be available in Australia on Wednesday, December 10, but the $100,000 Tesla sedan may pull it out because its special charger is too big for most local power grids.
Unlike other electric vehicles, Tesla cannot charge through normal power points and needs to install a special charger at home or work at a cost of up to $10,000 --
Local substations may also need to be upgraded at a cost of over $50,000, according to experts.

So far, there is only one unique charging point outside the St Leonas dealer near North Sydney: the parking lot of Sydney star casino.
Tesla released a map showing that Queensland, new state and Victoria will install future charging points by 2016, but no location has yet been determined.
Electric cars already on sale in Australia can be charged with 10 am p home power or will need a relatively simple 400 p upgrade for about $15 am.
But since Tesla needs a single-phase charger of 40 amps, the Society of electricians says there may be limits to upgrading home power and connecting to the local grid. Only one . . .

When Tesla finally switches to a three-phase 32-amp charger, the upgrade cost of the average home power system will be close to $10,000.
Most modern households with single-phase power supply have a maximum capacity of 63 amps, but there is a limit on how much energy can be consumed by any one item, and each household needs to check to determine how much spare capacity is availableif any —

At two o'clock P. M. on December 10, 2014, Tesla issued a clarification stating that its charger could be adjusted to match the low output of the Australian family, although it acknowledged that the charging time would be longer than using a 40 amp charger, and the car has a unique adapter that is different from the use of Australian homes.
Tesla has released a map showing future charging points for Queensland, new state and Victoria, but the company says it has no plans to open showrooms in Queensland, although many home buyers are based in the country.
The Society of electricians says that most homes may be able to adapt to this unique charger once the Tesla charger is programmed to reduce the power it needs to consume.
