EV charging

Fast, safe EV charging at home

A properly installed home charger is faster, safer and cheaper than a powerpoint. We install chargers for every EV and set them up to use your solar first.

Home EV chargers

The right charger for your car and home

A dedicated 7 kW charger fills most EVs overnight and, paired with solar, can run your car on sunshine for next to nothing. We install the Tesla Wall Connector, myenergi Zappi and Wallbox chargers, along with the dedicated circuit and protection each one needs.

Every install starts with a look at your switchboard. If it needs an upgrade to handle the load, we tell you up front and quote it in one go.

Free site assessment

We come out, look at your roof, switchboard and power bills, and talk through what you actually want. A system sized from a satellite photo is a guess. Ours isn't.

Clean installation

Our own licensed team does the install, usually in a day. Tidy cable runs, conduit kept out of sight, and we leave the place cleaner than we found it.

Handover & aftercare

We set up your monitoring app, register the manufacturer warranties, lodge the grid connection and rebate paperwork, and stay one phone call away.

FAQ

Common questions

A standard powerpoint adds around 10 km of range per hour. A 7 kW charger adds around 40 km per hour and is designed for continuous load, so it's both faster and safer.

Yes. Solar-aware chargers like the Zappi and Wallbox watch your export and charge the car only on excess solar, or on a schedule when off-peak rates kick in.

Most modern boards will. Older boards or homes with ducted air con and induction cooking may need an upgrade. We check on site and tell you before quoting.

Most installs are done in half a day, including switchboard work if the run is straightforward.
