Professional EV Charger Installation Across Australia
A dedicated wall charger charges your EV faster and more safely than a standard power point. Correct installation means checking your switchboard capacity, cable sizing for the run to your parking spot, RCD protection, and — where needed — load management so charging does not overload your mains supply.
Why use a licensed electrician?
- Legal requirement: fixed EV circuits must be installed by a licensed electrician
- Correct circuit breaker and cable size for your chosen charger kW rating
- Compliance with AS/NZS 3000 and manufacturer warranty conditions
- Load management options if your mains supply is near capacity
- Certificate of electrical safety for insurance and property records
Typical home setups
Most Australian homes install a 7 kW single-phase wallbox (32 A), which adds roughly 40–50 km of range per hour on typical EVs. Three-phase homes can support 11–22 kW units for faster charging. Tethered units include the cable; socket-only units let you use your own Type 2 lead. Your installer will confirm what your switchboard and supply agreement allow.
Frequently asked questions
Expect roughly $1,000 to $2,500 installed for a standard 7 kW wallbox on a single-phase home with a short cable run from the switchboard. Longer trenching, switchboard upgrades, or three-phase work increases cost. The charger hardware itself ranges from about $800 to $2,500 depending on brand and smart features.
Many EVs include a portable granny charger for occasional top-ups, but it is slow (often 2 kW or less) and not ideal as a daily solution. A dedicated wall charger is faster, safer on a permanent circuit, and better for battery health over years of daily use.
No. Most homes charge fine on single-phase 7 kW. Three-phase is optional if you want 11–22 kW charging or have multiple EVs. Your electrician will check your incoming supply and switchboard before quoting.
