- Australian households comparing electricity costs
- Worth noticing
- The appliance ranking uses a New South Wales reference rate and excludes the daily supply charge to avoid counting a fixed cost twice.
Field notes
The ranking gives each appliance an annual cost and estimated kWh use, from $1,392 for home EV charging to $28 for a ceiling fan. Its state comparison also lists annual supply charges separately from usage rates. The page links to a method and running-cost write-ups, while acknowledging that the displayed appliance figures use a New South Wales reference rate and that state differences can change them.
