Can I just plug my car into a normal powerpoint?

You can, with the portable charger most cars come with, but it is slow and it was never meant to be the everyday solution. A wall charger on its own circuit charges far faster and does not tie up a general power circuit for twelve hours at a time.

How long does an apartment charger install take to organise?

The electrical work is usually a day. Getting owner corporation approval and building access sorted is what takes the time, and that varies a lot between buildings.

What is the difference between 7kW and 22kW charging?

A 7kW charger runs on single phase, which is what most homes have. 22kW needs a three phase supply. Three phase is worth asking about if you have it, but for overnight charging at home a 7kW unit covers most driving comfortably.

Do you install chargers for businesses?

Yes. Workplace charging starts with what supply the site actually has spare, because multiple chargers can add up quickly. We look at that before recommending anything.

Where should the charger be mounted?

Wherever the cable reaches the charge port comfortably with the car parked how you normally park it. Which side the port is on matters more than people expect, so it is worth walking through at the quote.

Houses, Units and Everything Between

In a house the switchboard decides how the job goes. In a unit block it is the meter location, the cable route through common property and what the owner corporation will allow. We handle both, and we will tell you which parts will take time.

EV Charger Installation in Hawthorn

Starting at the Switchboard

In a house the board decides things. In an apartment the question is where your meter sits and what the building will allow to be supplied from it.

Switchboard Upgrades →

The Cable Run

Apartment installs depend on where the board is, whether cable can cross common property, and what the owner corporation permits. That side usually takes longer than the wiring.
