EV charger installation
A home EV charger is a dedicated high-load circuit, so it's electrical first: is there capacity on the board, is the cable run right, does it need load management. We answer those before we talk about which charger.
What we do
Assessment of your switchboard and supply, a dedicated circuit, the charger installed and commissioned, load management where the supply needs it, and solar-aware charging so the car fills from the roof when the sun's out.
If you already have solar
A solar-aware charger follows what your panels are exporting, so on a sunny day the car fills from the roof rather than the grid. We set it up as part of the install.
An honest note
A 7 kW charger will fill most cars overnight. Bigger isn't better if your switchboard can't carry it, and a battery feeding a car rarely stacks up financially. We'll tell you which set-up suits.
Questions people ask
Do I need three-phase power?
Not usually. A 7 kW single-phase charger covers most households. We'll tell you if you're the exception.
Can you install in an apartment?
Yes — we work with strata committees on common-property and car-space charging, and can talk to your building manager directly
Let's look at your switchboard and your driveway.
About 45 minutes, no charge, no pitch. I'll give you a straight answer about what's worth doing, and a proposal with three options within 48 hours. — Daniel
