Overview

Charging the Seal at home

The Seal accepts 11 kW three-phase AC. If your switchboard already carries three-phase, a 22 kW Zappi cuts overnight charge time roughly in half compared to a 7 kW unit.

Best for: Three-phase homes wanting a rear-drive sports sedan with real range.

What makes it different

Why the Seal stands out

11 kW three-phase onboard — one of the few sub-$70k sedans that uses it
82 kWh Blade battery, safe to charge to 100% nightly
Performance AWD does 0–100 in 3.8 s, faster than a Porsche 911 Carrera
V2L 3.3 kW output built in

Worth knowing

The Seal is one of the cheapest EVs that fully uses three-phase power

If your Perth home has three-phase (common in newer builds and any home with ducted air-con), a 22 kW Zappi cuts the Seal's charge time roughly in half compared to a 7 kW unit.

On 7 kW single-phase

Empty to full: about 11 hours 30 min

On 22 kW three-phase

Empty to full: about 7 hours 30 min (car caps at 11 kW)

Daily top-up

A day's driving (60 km) recovers in about 45 min on 22 kW

Our pick for the Seal

myenergi Zappi 22 kW

We match the charger to what your car can actually accept. Buying a 22 kW unit for a Seal that only takes 11 kW AC is money spent on kilowatts you'll never use. This recommendation gets you charged overnight without overspending.
