EV charging
What we check and install
A charger to suit your car
We recommend a wall charger that suits your vehicle, your supply and where you park.
Charge from your solar
Some chargers can use surplus solar automatically. We'll tell you whether that works with your inverter.
Licensed installation
Installed on a dedicated circuit by licensed electricians, with the electrical safety certification required in your state.
Workplace and multi-user
Chargers for staff, fleet or visitor parking, including load management where several chargers share one supply.
Works alongside a battery
If you have, or plan to add, a home battery, we'll set up charging to fit around how your battery is used.

Incentives
Are there EV charger incentives?
EV charger incentives are limited and vary by state and territory. For example, the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme offers low-interest loans that can include EV chargers, subject to eligibility. Check the official list for what's available where you live.
Common questions
Do I need three-phase power?
No. Most home chargers run on single-phase power. Three-phase can allow faster charging if your car supports it. We'll check your supply and explain the options.
Can I just use a normal power point?
Many EVs come with a portable cable for a standard power point, which charges slowly. A wall charger on its own circuit charges faster and is designed for regular use.
Will I need a switchboard upgrade?
Sometimes, depending on the age and capacity of your switchboard and supply. If it's needed, it's listed separately on your quote.
Can I charge only from solar?
Some chargers can follow your solar output. How much you can charge from solar depends on the weather, your system size, when the car is home and whether your charger and inverter work together.
