Buying the charger is the easy part. Making sure it suits your car, switchboard and home supply is the important part. ⚡🚗
Before installation, a licensed electrician should assess:
✔ Your vehicle and charger compatibility
✔ Your home’s available electrical capacity
✔ Switchboard space and protection
✔ The cable route to the parking location
✔ Other major loads, including heating, hot water, solar and batteries
The Australian Government advises that a dedicated home EV charger must be installed by a licensed electrician and may require a switchboard or supply upgrade. That doesn’t mean every home needs an upgrade—a site assessment determines the sensible option.
Some compatible chargers offer load-management features that can balance charging against household demand. Suitability depends on the property, charger and vehicle.
If you could charge at home, would your charger be in the garage, driveway or carport?
