Installing a home EV charger is more involved than plugging in a regular appliance, it draws significant, sustained load, so it needs to be assessed and wired correctly.
An electrician checks your switchboard's existing capacity, your home's supply, and where the charger will be mounted relative to your parking space and switchboard.
Chargers vary in charging speed and features (such as app connectivity or scheduled charging). The right choice depends on your vehicle, budget, and how quickly you need to charge.
This typically involves running a dedicated circuit from the switchboard to the charger location, installing appropriate circuit protection, and mounting the charger unit securely.
Once installed, the charger and circuit are tested, and a compliance certificate is issued confirming the work meets Australian electrical standards.
