# EV Charger Installation Cost Calculator & Price Guide

This is the text version of https://www.supertrades.com.au/calculators/ev-charger-cost-calculator.

The EV charger installation cost in Australia depends mainly on charger type, cable run distance and any switchboard work needed. For a typical electric car charger installation cost, prices in this guide start at about AUD 1,400 for a 7.2 kW single-phase wall charger and can reach AUD 18,000 for a 25–30 kW DC wallbox, before distance multipliers and optional electrical upgrades are applied.

## EV Charger Installation price breakdown

Typical job based on 1 charger (< 5 m). Prices are supply-and-install midpoints. Actual quotes vary.

| Type | Cost per charger (< 5 m) | Typical 1 charger (< 5 m) job |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 7.2 kW single-phase wall charger | $1,400 | $1,400 |
| 11 kW three-phase wall charger | $1,900 | $1,900 |
| 22 kW three-phase wall charger | $2,800 | $2,800 |
| 25–30 kW DC wallbox (light commercial) | $18,000 | $18,000 |

## What affects EV Charger Installation cost

- **Charger type and power output:** The biggest driver of electric vehicle charging station cost is the charger itself. Supply and installation for a 7.2 kW single-phase wall charger starts at AUD 1,400, while an 11 kW three-phase unit is AUD 1,900, a 22 kW three-phase unit is AUD 2,800, and a 25–30 kW DC wallbox is AUD 18,000.
- **Cable run distance:** Pricing assumes a standard installation distance of under 5 m. If the charger is 5–15 m from the switchboard, costs are multiplied by 1.2, and for 15 m+ they are multiplied by 1.5.
- **Switchboard upgrades:** Some homes need extra electrical capacity before a charger can be installed safely. A minor switchboard upgrade adds AUD 400 per job, while a full switchboard replacement adds AUD 1,500 per job.
- **Number of chargers:** This calculator prices jobs by the number of chargers installed, so the base supply-and-install cost increases per unit. Optional switchboard add-ons are charged once per job rather than per charger.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the average EV charger installation cost in Australia?

For one charger with a cable run under 5 m, the most common home option is a 7.2 kW single-phase wall charger at AUD 1,400 supplied and installed. Faster options cost AUD 1,900 for 11 kW three-phase and AUD 2,800 for 22 kW three-phase. Estimates are typically shown as a range of plus or minus 15% around the midpoint.

### How much is the electric car charger installation cost for a standard home charger?

A standard home charger is usually a 7.2 kW single-phase wall charger, priced at AUD 1,400 for supply and installation when the run is under 5 m. If the distance is 5–15 m, apply the 1.2 multiplier, and if it is 15 m+, apply the 1.5 multiplier. If switchboard work is needed, add AUD 400 for a minor upgrade or AUD 1,500 for a full replacement.

### What affects the EV charging station installation cost the most?

The main factors are charger size, installation distance and whether the switchboard needs upgrading. For example, a 22 kW three-phase charger costs AUD 2,800 under 5 m, but the same unit becomes more expensive with the 1.2 or 1.5 distance multiplier. Optional switchboard costs are added per job, not per charger.

### How much does an electric car charging point installation cost for a three-phase charger?

For a single charger installed within 5 m, an 11 kW three-phase wall charger costs AUD 1,900 and a 22 kW three-phase wall charger costs AUD 2,800. These are supply-and-install prices. If the property does not already have suitable electrical capacity, you may also need a AUD 400 minor switchboard upgrade or a AUD 1,500 full replacement.

### What is the cost of installing electric charging station equipment for a small business or workplace?

For light commercial use, a 25–30 kW DC wallbox is priced at AUD 18,000 per charger for installations under 5 m. This suits small business, strata or workplace settings where faster charging is needed. Longer cable runs increase the total using the 1.2 or 1.5 multiplier, and switchboard upgrades may add AUD 400 or AUD 1,500 per job.

### How are charging station cost estimates calculated in this guide?

The calculator uses a per-charger rate based on charger type, then applies a distance multiplier for under 5 m, 5–15 m or 15 m+. After that, any optional switchboard add-ons are included once per job. The displayed estimate range is plus or minus 15% around the midpoint, with a minimum job charge of AUD 800 if the calculation falls below that.
