EV Charging Installation Services

Just as a traditionally powered automobile won’t start without gas in the tank, an electric vehicle won’t run without an adequate battery charge. While most drivers need to stop at a gas station for a fill-up, EV owners have numerous options for recharging their ride.

There are a growing number of public EV charging stations in Australia, both in residential areas and popular travel destinations for popular vehicles such as the Tesla. Some shopping centres, hotels, and tourist attractions and provide EV charging to customers who use their services.

Of course, the easiest way to charge your electric car is at home using an EV car charging station. Home EV car charging stations can provide up to 10x the power of a standard wall outlet. With an EV home charger, all you have to do is hook up your electric car and it will charge overnight while you sleep. An electric car charger installation makes pumping gas appear obsolete!

However, there are some key details involved in charging your EV at home you should be aware of to get the most out of vehicle charrgers.

Electricians for EV Home Car Charging Stations

An EV home station offers the convenience of plugging in your car at night and waking up with a fully charged vehicle.

EV home charging stations must be installed by an experienced, licensed electrician. Call Calibre Connect for assistance with your EV installation. One of our technicians will come to your home for an evaluation. They will assess your installation site and your home’s electrical specifications before working up a quote.

● plug type
● single- vs. three-phase electrical capability
● socketed vs. tethered cable
● solar charge

The Three Types of EV Chargers Installed

Australia’s EV charging infrastructure primarily consists of three distinct types of electric vehicle chargers, each with their own unique set of features and maximum charge times:

Level 1 Chargers: These are the cheapest and slowest of the EV charger options and can be found mostly in residential areas. A level 1 charger can charge an electric vehicle at a rate of about 5 kilometres per hour from a standard 120-volt outlet.

Level 2 Chargers: These are an upgrade from Level 1 chargers, allowing for a faster charging rate of 10-40 kilometres per hour. The 240-volt outlets required by level 2 chargers are standard in most commercial and industrial settings as well as at public charging stations.

DC Fast Chargers: The most expensive and rapid chargers are direct current (DC) fast chargers, which can add up to 100 kilometres of range in just 30 minutes. DC fast chargers are available at highway rest areas, gas stations, and other public charging locations that have access to high-voltage power sources. These are also called commercial EV charger installations

EV Charger Installation – FAQs

Choose the charger location to align with your car’s charging port and how you park—front-in or reverse. For example, if you park front-in and your car’s port is on the left, install the charger on the left side of your parking spot. This minimises cable length and keeps charging convenient in Sydney homes.

If your garage is detached or far from your consumer unit, trenching may be required to run cables underground safely. This involves digging a trench, laying conduit, and backfilling. Groundworks ensure protection from weather and physical damage, common in Sydney’s suburban properties.

Challenges include cable length restrictions, routing through walls or ceilings, and avoiding obstacles. Longer cable runs may require trenching or conduit installation. Ensuring compliance with AS/NZS 3000:2018 and local Sydney regulations is essential for safety and effectiveness.

Yes, but you must coordinate with building management or your body corporate. Permissions and electrical infrastructure upgrades may be needed. Installation complexity and costs can increase due to shared access and compliance with strata rules.

Upgrading to three-phase power can enable faster charging (up to 22 kW), but check if your EV supports this speed. Many Sydney homes have single-phase supply, suitable for 7 kW chargers. An electrician can assess if an upgrade is necessary based on your vehicle and household load.

Installations must comply with AS/NZS 3000:2018 and local NSW regulations. This includes a dedicated circuit, proper cable sizing, RCD protection, and possibly an isolator switch. Only licensed electricians can perform installations to ensure safety and legal compliance.

The charger should be installed close to the side where your car’s charging port is located to avoid long cable runs and tripping hazards. For example, if the port is on the rear left, mount the charger on the left side of your parking area for easy access.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended to ensure reliability. Follow manufacturer guidelines and arrange for licensed electricians to check electrical connections, protective devices, and charger functionality periodically. This is especially important in Sydney’s varied climate conditions.
