EV Charger Installation in Melbourne
Home EV charging points assessed and installed for safe, reliable power. We handle the circuit design, switchboard capacity check and full installation for all major charger brands.
Home EV Charging Options
There are two main types of home EV charging:
- Level 1 (Standard Power Point) – plugs into a regular 10A outlet, charges at 2–5kW, typically 8–20 hours for a full charge
- Level 2 (Dedicated Charger) – purpose-built unit on a dedicated 20–40A circuit, charges at 7–22kW, typically 3–8 hours for a full charge
We recommend a Level 2 dedicated charger for everyday convenience. A dedicated circuit means faster charging without affecting your household power.
Switchboard & Capacity Assessment
Before installation, we assess your switchboard to confirm it can handle the additional load of an EV charger. An EV charger drawing 7kW on a single-phase supply requires approximately 30A — that is a significant portion of a typical household supply.
If your board does not have spare capacity, we can recommend a mains upgrade or load management solution that shares available power between the charger and your home other circuits.
Installation & Compliance
We handle the complete electrical installation:
- Circuit design – optimal route from switchboard to charger location
- Dedicated circuit – new RCD-protected circuit with appropriate cable sizing
- Isolator switch – mandatory disconnection point for maintenance
- Weatherproof mounting – outdoor-rated enclosures and IP-rated connections
- Compliance certification – all work tested and certified to AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 5139
