EV charger installation
Charging from a normal power point adds only about 10 to 15 km of range per hour. A wall charger on its own circuit adds around 40 to 50 km per hour, so the car is full every morning. We install home and strata chargers properly.

Short answer
A 7 kW single-phase home EV charger typically costs $900 to $2,000 to install in Sydney, plus the charger itself, which usually costs $900 to $2,000. The price depends on the distance from the switchboard and whether the board needs an upgrade. Three-phase homes can install a 22 kW charger if the car supports it.
We check your switchboard, supply and the cable route to the garage or carport, then recommend a charger. Smart chargers can run on off-peak times and manage the load so the main supply isn’t overloaded.
For apartment buildings, we assess the building’s capacity and design charging that can grow with demand.

FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers to what customers ask us most. Can’t see yours? Call us and talk to an electrician, not a call centre.
Can I just use a power point?
You can charge slowly from a standard outlet, but it’s not designed for hours of continuous high load. A dedicated circuit or wall charger is safer and much faster.
Can you install a charger in my apartment building?
Yes, with strata approval. We assess capacity and design a solution for the building.
