EV Charger Installation In Melbourne

About Our EV Charger Installation

Most EV charger installs involve running a dedicated circuit from your switchboard to the charger location, whether that’s a garage, carport, or outdoor wall, then fitting the correct protection and completing compliant testing.

We check your available supply, whether it is single phase or three phase, assess your switchboard, confirm the cable path, and explain clearly if any upgrades are recommended before installation.

If required, we can also complete a switchboard upgrade before the charger install.

Which EV Charger Do I Need?

The right charger depends on your power supply, switchboard capacity, charger location, and how quickly you want to charge your vehicle.

Single-Phase (most homes)

Many Melbourne homes charge perfectly well with a charger set up for single-phase supply, which is commonly enough for overnight charging.

Three-Phase

If your property has three-phase power, faster charging may be possible depending on your available supply and selected charger.

We’ll Help You Choose

We’ll confirm your supply, check your switchboard, and recommend the simplest setup that suits your home and vehicle without overcomplicating things.

What Is Load Management?

Load management helps ensure your EV charger does not overload your electrical supply when other appliances are running in the home.

It works by adjusting the charging output based on how much power is already being used elsewhere in the property. For some homes, this can be a smart way to improve safety and avoid overloading the switchboard.

Helps prevent overloads when multiple appliances are running at once

Can improve safety where switchboard capacity is limited

May avoid unnecessary upgrades in some situations

We’ll assess whether load management is recommended for your installation and explain it clearly before proceeding.

What If I Want Solar Integration?

If you want your EV charger integrated with an existing solar or battery setup, that may require additional equipment, programming, or input from your solar or battery installer.

We can discuss the electrical installation side and advise on what is involved, but solar-specific integration or programming may need to be completed by the relevant solar provider or an external specialist depending on the system.
