Unlock Fast, Safe Home Charging for Your Electric Vehicle
Relying on public charging stations or slow 10-amp trickle plugs is inconvenient and inefficient. A dedicated Level 2 EV charging station installed in your garage or driveway allows you to recharge overnight using off-peak electricity tariffs.
Supported Vehicles & Charging Units
We install all leading Australian-approved charging systems:
- Tesla Wall Connector (Gen 3): Seamless integration with Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X.
- Universal Type 2 Charging Units: Ocular, Schneider EVlink, Zappi, Autel, and Fronius chargers compatible with BYD, Hyundai, Kia, MG, Polestar, and Volvo.
- Solar-Integrated Smart Chargers: Divert excess rooftop solar generation directly into your car battery rather than feeding the grid for low feed-in tariffs.
Safe Installation Standards
Under AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS IEC 61851, EV chargers require:
- A dedicated radial circuit from the main switchboard.
- Type A or Type B RCD protection designed for DC fault current detection.
- Appropriately derated 6mm² or 10mm² heavy copper conductors to withstand continuous 32A thermal loads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plug my electric car into a standard 10A power point?
A standard 10A socket provides slow trickle charging (approx 10-12 km of range per hour) and can overheat domestic sockets when run continuously for 15+ hours. A dedicated 32A hardwired wall charger delivers 40-75 km of range per hour safely.
Do I need three-phase power to install an EV charger?
No. Most Melbourne homes have single-phase power, which supports a 7kW / 32A charger — easily adding 250-300 km of range overnight. If your home has three-phase power, a 22kW charger can be installed.
Will an EV charger overload my home switchboard?
We calculate total household maximum demand before installation. If necessary, we install smart load management that automatically modulates EV charge speed when high-draw household appliances like ovens or ducted cooling are active.
