Half a dayWhat most EV charger installs take
01
EV charger installation
Got an electric car coming?
A home charger is not a powerpoint. It needs a dedicated circuit, the right breaker, and often a switchboard that can actually handle it. We do the lot, and we tell you up front if your board needs work.
- Any brand of chargerTesla, Zappi, Fronius, Ocular, or one we supply
- Switchboard checked firstWe tell you before the job, not halfway through it
- Single or three phaseIncluding upgrades where the supply allows
- Compliance certificateIssued on completion wherever one is required
- Apartments and strataWe'll talk to your body corporate
- Workplace chargersFleet and customer charging for commercial sites

- We quote a fixed priceCharger, cable run and any board work, all in
- We install and test itUsually half a day, tidy cable runs, no mess left behind
- You get the paperworkCompliance certificate and a walk-through of how it works
Powerpoint, or a proper charger?
This is the question we get asked most. Here is roughly how much driving range each one puts back into the car per hour of charging.
The car sets the ceiling, not the charger. Most EVs cap their home charging somewhere between 7 kW and 11 kW, so the biggest unit is very often not the right one. Tell us what you drive and we will say which is actually worth the money — including when the answer is “stick with the powerpoint for now”.
Before you ask us for a number
What actually changes the price
Factor 01
Distance to the board
A charger on the garage wall beside the switchboard is the cheap version. A long run through a roof cavity is not.
Factor 02
The state of your board
If it needs upgrading before a charger can go on it, that is the single biggest swing in the number.
Factor 03
Single or three phase
Three phase opens up faster charging, but what is possible depends on what the street already supplies you.
Factor 04
The charger itself
Bring your own and we install it. Or we can supply one to suit the car and how you actually drive.
We don't publish a price here, because any number we put on a page would be a guess about your house. We work the four things above out first, then give you one fixed price before we start.

60-second check
Is your switchboard ready for an EV?
Four questions. No email, no sign-up. It won't replace a sparky looking at it, but it will tell you roughly what you're in for before you ring anyone.
Answer the questions

Common questions
The ones we get asked most.
Will my switchboard handle an EV charger?
Often yes, sometimes no. Older boards with ceramic fuses and no safety switches usually need an upgrade first. Send us a photo of your board and we'll tell you before we quote, not after we've started.
How long does an EV charger install take?
Most are a half-day job if the switchboard is in good shape and the cable run is straightforward. A long run through a roof cavity, or a board upgrade at the same time, can make it a full day.
What changes the price of an EV install?
Four things, mostly: how far the charger is from the switchboard, whether the board needs upgrading first, single or three phase, and the charger itself. We work all of that out before quoting, so the number we give you is the number you pay.
Do you charge for quotes?
No. Quotes are free, and the price we give you is the price you pay unless we find something genuinely unexpected — in which case we stop and ring you first.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Electrical Licence 151591, Electrical Contractor Licence 88370 and QBCC Licence 1523961. They're at the bottom of this page, and we're happy for you to check them.
Do you do landlord smoke alarm compliance?
Yes. Queensland rules require interconnected photoelectric alarms in rental properties, and the NSW requirements across the border are different again. Tell us which side you're on and we'll install, test and issue the paperwork your agent needs.
What if it's an emergency?
Ring 0425 065 359 rather than filling in the form. If there's a burning smell, sparks, or water near power, turn the power off at the switchboard first if it's safe to do so.
