Installing a home EV charger properly is about more than convenience — it protects your car's warranty, keeps your home safe, and sets your electrical system up to handle the extra load. We assess your switchboard, size the circuit correctly, and install a compliant charging point rather than a quick, unsafe workaround.
Benefits of a Professional EV Charger Install
- ✓ Dedicated circuit correctly sized for your charger's amperage
- ✓ Compliant installation meeting current AS/NZS wiring rules
- ✓ Safety switch (RCD) protection fitted as standard
- ✓ Faster, safer charging than a standard powerpoint
- ✓ Correct placement and cable routing for practical day-to-day use
- ✓ Freedom to charge on your own schedule, including overnight or off-peak periods
- ✓ If your home has solar, daytime charging can help you make better use of what you already generate
Why Professional Installation Matters
An EV charger installation involves working with higher-current circuits than a standard powerpoint, so it's not a job for a DIY install or a general handyman. Here's why getting it done properly matters:
- ✓ Safety first — correctly rated cabling and circuit protection reduce the risk of overheating or electrical faults
- ✓ Compliance — installations are completed to Australian wiring standards, with a compliance certificate issued for the work
- ✓ Warranty protection — most EV and charger manufacturers require licensed installation to keep your warranty valid
- ✓ Right-sized for your home — every switchboard is different, so we check capacity before recommending a solution rather than assuming one size fits all
- ✓ Future-proofing — where practical, we consider what else you might add down the track (solar, a second EV, or a switchboard upgrade)

Types of EV Chargers
There are a few different types of EV charging setups, and the right one for your home depends on your vehicle and how quickly you need to charge.
Level 1 (Standard Powerpoint Charging)
The most basic option, using a standard 240V household outlet. It's the slowest way to charge, but can suit light, occasional use if a dedicated charger isn't needed yet.
Level 2 (Dedicated Home Charger)
The most common setup for home EV charging. A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240V circuit and charges significantly faster than a standard powerpoint — this is what most of our residential installs are.
DC Fast Charging
The fastest charging option, typically used for commercial and public charging stations rather than homes, due to the higher power supply required.
Smart Chargers
Many modern Level 2 chargers include smart features — letting you monitor charging, schedule off-peak sessions, and track usage via an app. We can advise on smart-charger options as part of your install.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an electrician to install an EV charger?
Yes — EV chargers must be installed by a licensed electrician and, in most cases, require a dedicated circuit and compliance certificate. A DIY install is not compliant and can void your vehicle or charger warranty.
Will my switchboard need upgrading for an EV charger?
It depends on the age and capacity of your existing switchboard. As part of our assessment we check whether your switchboard has enough capacity, and only recommend an upgrade if it's genuinely needed.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
Most residential EV charger installations are completed within a few hours to a single day, depending on the distance from your switchboard and whether any additional electrical work is required.
What type of charger is right for my home?
Most homes use a Level 2 charger on a dedicated circuit, as it charges far faster than a standard powerpoint. We'll recommend the right option for your vehicle and switchboard as part of the site assessment.
Can I get a smart charger with app control?
Yes. Many Level 2 chargers offer smart features like scheduling and usage tracking through an app. Let us know if this is important to you and we'll factor it into the charger recommendation.
