EV Chargers

An EV charger your switchboard can actually carry. We start with a load check, not a sales sheet, so you get the right charger for your supply and phase, load management where the board needs it, and the cost of any upgrade up front instead of after the deposit.

EV charging on an existing supply

Load management keeps it under the limit.

A smart charger watches the main and backs off when the house draws hard, so the total never trips the supply.

The charger throttles to 25 A so the total holds under the main.

Scope

What this job includes.

✓Home 7kW single-phase and 22kW three-phase chargers
✓Switchboard and supply load check before anything is quoted
✓Load management and OCPP for commercial, fleet and strata
✓Solar-smart charging from your excess generation
✓Destination and workplace charging with billing and access control

Our system: The switchboard load check comes first, every time. We confirm your phase and spare capacity, quote any board upgrade as a line, and set load management where the supply needs it, so the charger does not trip the house or sit on an unsafe shared circuit.

Indicative supply-and-install range

A system size with no load calc, or a quote that never mentions your switchboard, is the warning sign, not the price.

Why the spread? A power-point swap and a whole-home solar-and-battery system are both "electrical", but they are not the same job. The on-site assessment pins your exact price.

What a real electrical quote should itemise:

Switchboard condition, The single biggest lever on renewables and EV work. An old or full board with no RCDs has to be upgraded before new load or export is added, and that is a costed step.
Phase + supply, Single phase caps a charger at 7kW and limits export. Three phase opens up 22kW charging and bigger inverters, but the supply and main switch have to carry it.
Cable run + access, Distance from the board to the panels, battery or charger, plus roof type and access, sets the cable size and labour. A long run in conduit is real money.
System size + grade, Solar kW, panel and inverter grade, battery kWh and roof pitch or orientation all move the number. Premium gear costs more and lasts longer, and we name it.
Compliance + certification, Certificate of Compliance, as-builts, STC handling and any metering changes are line items, never assumed away.
Commercial conditions, After-hours work, live-site staging, traffic management and tenancy rules on a trading site all change the rate. We scope them up front.

What a real quote should include

Ask your electrician:

?Is the work sized with a load calc, and is the cable sized to the run?
?Has the switchboard been checked, and is any upgrade a separate line?
?Is the make and model named, with the Certificate of Compliance included?

And what the warranty actually splits into:

Layer 01

Our workmanship

10 years on the install: cabling, mounting, terminations and the board work. Excludes physical damage and faults in supply we did not touch.

Layer 02

Manufacturer

Panel product + performance, inverter, and battery each carry their own years. We name the product on your quote so you can read the actual warranty PDF.

Layer 03

Statutory (ACL + electrical)

Reasonable workmanship under Australian Consumer Law, plus the Certificate of Compliance that says the work meets AS/NZS 3000. Always applies.

Licensing and accreditation:

What a certifying electrician means

Get this quoted properly

A guide range only, not a quote. Your exact price depends on the load calc, the switchboard, the equipment and the site, confirmed on-site before any work.

We do not store your numbers. This runs entirely in your browser.

How we quote it

The same scope sheet, every time.

Whatever the job, your quote shows the load calc, the cable sizing and the compliance, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

The 7-line quote

1 Load calculation. Your actual demand worked out and shown, not a system size guessed off the roof.
2 Cable sizing + run length. Sized for the inverter or charger and the distance, not the cheapest roll on the van.
3 Switchboard assessment. Spare capacity, RCD and surge protection, fault level. Checked before anything is added.
4 System sized to your bill. Solar and battery sized to your usage and load profile, not to the headline rebate.
5 Make + model, named. The exact panel, inverter, battery or charger on the quote, not "good panels".
6 Warranties, itemised. Product, performance and workmanship listed separately with their years, so you can compare like for like.
7 Compliance paperwork. CES, Certificate of Compliance and as-builts named as deliverables, plus STCs handled and shown as a line.

If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

How it runs

What happens, step by step.

Site + load assessment

We measure the load, read the switchboard, check supply and phase, and look at roof or cable routes.

Design + scope sheet

You get the load calc, cable sizing, the named equipment and an itemised quote. The workings are on the page.

Contract + schedule

Fixed scope, STCs and rebates shown as a line, a start date that fits your trading or build program.

Install

Licensed install to AS/NZS 3000, staged around live sites and tenants where needed.

Test + certify

Every circuit tested, RCDs proven, Certificate of Compliance issued. Solar and battery commissioned and monitored.

Handover + docs

As-builts, test results, warranties, monitoring set up, and a walk-through of how it runs.

Questions, answered

Common EV Chargers questions.

Will my switchboard support a charger?

That is the first thing we check, before we quote. We open the board, confirm your phase, spare ways and main switch rating, and work out whether it can carry a charger as is or needs an upgrade. The switchboard scorecard on our pricing page gives you an early read, and the site check confirms it.

What is the difference between 7kW and 22kW?

Mostly your supply. A 7kW charger runs on single-phase power and fully charges most EVs overnight, which is plenty for a home. 22kW needs three-phase supply and charges far faster, which suits two-car homes, workplaces and fleets. If you are on single phase, 22kW means a supply upgrade, and we cost that before you decide.

Do I need load management?

Often, on a busy board or with more than one charger. Load management throttles the charger when the rest of the house or site is drawing hard, so you avoid nuisance tripping and an unsafe overload. For commercial and fleet sites with multiple chargers it is essential, and we set it up.

What does an install actually cost?

A 7kW home charger is typically in the $1,200 to $2,800 range installed. The variable is the switchboard: if it needs an upgrade or you need three-phase supply for 22kW, that is a real cost, between roughly $3,000 and $8,000, and we put it on the quote before you commit, never after.

Can I charge from my solar?

Yes, with a solar-smart charger. It can be set to draw only your excess solar, so you charge on free generation instead of buying from the grid, or to top up at a set rate when you need the range. We match the charger to your solar and how you drive.

Does OCPP lock me to one app or network?

Not if the charger is properly OCPP-compliant, which is what we fit for commercial and fleet sites. Open Charge Point Protocol lets you move between management platforms rather than being tied to one vendor. For workplaces it also handles billing, access control and load sharing across multiple chargers.
