Charging From a Powerpoint Is Not a Long-Term Plan

A standard outlet will trickle charge a car, but it takes most of a weekend to do what a proper wall charger does overnight. It also means a lead running across a driveway or through a garage door.

The part that catches people out is the switchboard. An EV charger draws steadily for hours, which is a completely different load to a kettle cycling on and off, and plenty of older boards in the eastern suburbs have neither the spare capacity nor the protection for it.

That is worth knowing at the quoting stage rather than on the day the installer arrives.

A Charger That Fits Your House

We look at the switchboard, the mains and the existing load before we price anything, so the quote covers the whole job rather than the easy part of it.

On site we work out where the charger should go, which comes down to where the car actually parks and which side the charge port is on, then run the dedicated circuit back to the board.

The unit goes on, gets tested and commissioned, and we show you how it works before we leave.

If the board does need upgrading first, we will tell you what that involves and quote it together so there are no surprises mid-job.

    I didn't know Sam - I just pulled him out of the electronic ether to give me a quote on my EV wall-charger installation. He attended by arrangement at the right time, got the quote done easily and efficiently, and then he and his off-sider Ashton did the job on the agreed date and time. They were both punctual, courteous and affable. We encountered a problem at the end of the job but he fixed it within a day and within contract price. I have nothing but praise for Sam and Ashton, and I was very happy with MillerCo for my job. The services he offers seem very comprehensive, and he was professional, helpful and prompt at all times. Highly recommended - five stars with no hesitation!

    Sam from Miller Co was great replied the same day, came out the next, and was professional and honest. The job ended up being too complex for our setup (not his skills), but he still took the time to explain everything clearly. Really appreciated his responsiveness and integrity. Highly recommend!

Asked Questions

Home EV Charging Questions

  • A straightforward install is usually a day. A long cable run to a detached garage, or a switchboard that needs work first, will take longer. We tell you what to expect before booking.

  • We check before quoting. Many older boards need upgrading first because an EV charger runs at a steady load for hours. If yours does, it goes in the same quote.

  • Wherever the cable reaches the car's port comfortably without crossing a walkway. We work that out with you on site, because the charge port position differs between makes.

  • You can trickle charge from one, but it is slow and it usually means a lead across the driveway. A dedicated charger on its own circuit is faster and safer for daily use.

  • Tesla, BYD, BMW and Mercedes among others. If you have already bought a unit we will install it.
