How South Australia compares

South Australia has the 7th lowest median among the 7 states with a large enough sample to rank. The national median is A$0.50 across 828 priced stations. A median is the middle of the listed tariffs, not a quote: networks set their own prices, and a session or idle fee can be added on top.

A network needs five priced stations in the state or territory to appear here. One station can name more than one operator, so it can count under more than one row.

What the number includes

Only per-kWh tariffs are used. A value is treated as a listed price when it is greater than zero and no more than A$2.00 per kWh; anything outside that band reads as “price not listed” rather than being corrected or guessed. Session fees, connection fees, idle fees and parking charges are not included, and networks that bill by the minute or by the session are not converted.

South Australia has 53 priced stations, enough to compare with another state or territory.
