Frequently Asked Questions

How long does EV charger installation take?

Most installations completed in 4-6 hours. Simple external runs can be faster, complex concealed runs may take longer. All work completed same day.

Do I need 3-phase power for an EV charger?

No, but it's faster. Single phase = 7kW (adds ~35km range per hour). 3-phase = 22kW (adds ~110km range per hour). Most homes have single phase, which is fine for overnight charging.

Will it work with my electric vehicle?

Yes. Tesla Wall Connector works with ALL EVs (comes with Type 2 cable). Universal Type 2 chargers also work with all EVs. Both use the Australian Type 2 standard.

How much does it cost to run an EV charger?

Electricity only. A typical mid-size EV charged on off-peak rates is a fraction of the cost of a comparable petrol fillup. Huge running-cost savings.

Do you install at apartments/units?

Yes, if you have dedicated parking and can access the switchboard. Body corporate approval usually required. I can provide technical specs for your BC application.

What if my switchboard is full?

I'll assess capacity and recommend upgrades if needed. Sometimes requires larger switchboard or moving circuits. I'll quote all options.

Do I Need a Switchboard Upgrade Before Installing an EV Charger?

Short answer: usually no, but sometimes yes. Here's how I assess it during the EV charger quote.

You probably don't need a switchboard upgrade if:

• Your switchboard is modern (post-2010), with circuit breakers (not ceramic fuses) and at least one safety switch (RCD).
• There's at least one spare slot for a new circuit breaker, or room to add a sub-board.
• Your main supply (the cable from the street) can handle the additional load — most single-phase Adelaide homes can run a 7kW charger fine.

You probably do need a switchboard upgrade if:

• You still have ceramic fuses or rewirable fuses — these can't safely handle modern EV charging loads.
• The switchboard is full and there's no room to add a dedicated EV circuit.
• You want a 22kW Tesla Wall Connector and your home is currently single-phase — you'll need a three-phase upgrade.
• The board is rusted, water-damaged, or shows visible heat damage — fix the existing safety issues before adding load.
• Your home was built before 1990 and the switchboard hasn't been touched since — likely time for a refresh anyway.

How I assess it

When I quote your EV charger install, I check the switchboard, the main supply rating, and the planned cable run all in one visit. If an upgrade is needed, I'll tell you upfront — not halfway through the install. Sometimes a partial fix (a new sub-board for the EV circuit) is cheaper than a full replacement.
