Home charging is the cheapest and most convenient way to run an EV — especially paired with solar or an off-peak tariff. As licensed electricians, we handle the full job: assessment, any switchboard work, compliant installation and commissioning.
What's included
- Site assessment — cable routing, installation difficulty, switchboard capacity and any upgrades needed
- The right charger for your car — single-phase and three-phase options from quality brands
- Solar integration — divert excess solar into your EV automatically
- Compliant installation — by our in-house licensed electricians, to Australian standards
- 5-year installation workmanship warranty
Why the assessment matters
An EV charger is a large, continuous load — often the biggest single circuit in the house. Installing one on an old or crowded switchboard without assessment is how fires and failed inspections happen. We check first, quote a fixed price, and upgrade the switchboard if (and only if) it's genuinely needed.
FAQs
EV Charger Installation — common questions
Can my switchboard handle an EV charger?
That's the first thing we check. Many Melbourne homes need minor switchboard work to safely support a 7 kW charger; we assess capacity, cable routing and installation complexity before quoting, so there are no surprises.
Single-phase or three-phase charger?
Single-phase (up to ~7 kW) suits most homes and overnight charging. Three-phase (up to ~22 kW) charges faster where the supply exists. We'll recommend what your car and your wiring can actually use.
Can I charge my EV from my solar?
Yes — solar-aware chargers can divert excess solar generation into your car instead of exporting it. If you have (or are planning) solar, tell us and we'll design them together.
Do you install chargers at workplaces?
Yes — we install commercial EV charging for businesses, including load management across multiple chargers.
