EV chargers
A wall charger is faster and safer than a powerpoint and a cable. We check your switchboard and supply first, so the charger and the rest of the house can run at the same time.
Signs it's time.
Any one of these is a good reason to have an electrician take a look.
- Charging from a normal powerpoint is too slow
- You've ordered an EV and want charging ready when it arrives
- You have solar and want to charge from it
- The garage or carport has no suitable power
- Your switchboard is old or full
- You want charging that won't trip the power
Always included.
Whatever the size of the job.
- A check of your switchboard and electricity supply
- A charger to suit your car and supply
- Its own circuit and safety switch
- Load management, so the house doesn't trip
- A weatherproof install outdoors
- Testing and a Certificate of Electrical Safety

Questions about EV chargers. Answered.

How much faster is a wall charger?
Several times faster than a normal powerpoint. Exactly how fast depends on your car and your supply, and we explain it on the quote.
Do I need three-phase power?
No. Most homes charge well on single phase. If you already have three phase, a faster charger may be an option.
Can I charge from my solar?
Many chargers can use solar first. We set it up if your system supports it.
Often booked together.
We do EV chargers in Preston and Reservoir and Northcote and Thornbury, and across the rest of Melbourne's north.
