Fixed price installation, free quotes before any work starts

Will your switchboard handle an EV charger?
An EV charger draws a sustained high load for hours. We check spare capacity, safety switch protection and the cable route as part of every quote - at no charge. Many Maribyrnong homes need no upgrade at all; where older boards do, it's in the written quote from the start.
Where your electricity distributor - Jemena in Maribyrnong - requires notification before a charger circuit is energised, we handle that paperwork too.

Level 1, 2 and 3 - what the charger types mean
Trickle charging
Uses an existing 10A outlet. A backup, not a daily solution.
Dedicated home charging
Its own 32A circuit. 7kW fills almost any EV overnight; 22kW on three-phase cuts that to a third where your vehicle supports it.
DC fast charging
For commercial sites and fleets. Designed with load management.
The technical bit: a 7kW charger draws 32 amps on a 32A RCBO, typically 6mm² cable - long runs to detached garages often need 10mm² to keep voltage drop within AS/NZS 3000 limits. Most EVs cap AC charging at 7–11kW regardless of the charger, so we confirm your vehicle's limit before recommending anything.
Applications
Where can you install an EV charger?
Almost anywhere your car parks. Cable routing is planned before installation starts, and we keep visible conduit to a minimum.
Garage
Wall-mounted beside your bay on its own dedicated circuit, the most common home install.
Apartments & strata
Compliant car-park EV charging and metering, via your owners corporation.
Carport & external wall
Wall-mounted beside your parking spot, on a dedicated circuit. Weatherproof units rated for outdoor installation.
Workplaces
Staff and visitor EV charging with smart load management across your parking bays.
Detached garage & driveway
Longer cable runs, sub-boards and post-mounted units, all routine.
Fleet & commercial
Scalable multi-charger sites, DC fast options and cost-recovery billing.
Solar + EV
Charge your car from your roof
If you have solar, your EV can run largely on sunshine. A solar-aware charger like the Evnex monitors your PV output in real time and diverts surplus generation into your car before it's exported to the grid for a few cents.
On days the sun doesn't cooperate, scheduled off-peak charging takes over automatically - so every kilowatt-hour goes in at the cheapest possible rate, without you thinking about it.
Solar-surplus charging: drive on energy you'd otherwise export
Off-peak scheduling for grid top-ups
Battery and load balancing on single or three-phase supply
Configured for your system at handover, not left to you
Worth Knowing
The case for your own charger
Cheaper per kilometre than any servo
Home charging on off-peak rates - or free from surplus solar - costs a fraction of public fast charging, and a fraction again of petrol. The charger typically pays for itself well within its lifespan.
Adds value to your property
With EV ownership climbing, a professionally installed, certified charger is increasingly a selling point, infrastructure already done, compliant and transferable to the next owner.

Frequently asked questions
-
Most residential installations fall between $800 and $2,500, depending on the charger, the cable run from your switchboard, and whether a switchboard upgrade is needed. You receive a fixed written quote covering all work before anything starts. -
No. EV charger installation is regulated electrical work in Victoria and must be done by a licensed electrician. DIY installation is illegal, voids the charger warranty, can void home insurance, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety can only be issued by a licensed contractor.
-
Not necessarily — many Pascoe Vale homes have spare capacity. We assess this free as part of every quote, and any required work is included upfront with no separate invoice.
-
Most installs are done in a single visit of two to four hours. Longer cable runs or switchboard upgrades can extend that to a full day — your quote includes a clear timeframe.
-
Usually not. Most Pascoe Vale homes run single-phase, and a 7kW charger adds around 40km of range per hour — a full overnight charge for most vehicles. Three-phase allows a 22kW charger, but most EVs cap AC charging at 7–11kW, so we confirm your vehicle's limit before recommending it.
-
Sometimes, and it's a step most homeowners don't know exists. Jemena is the electricity distributor for Pascoe Vale, and notification can be required before a dedicated charger circuit is energised — particularly above 7kW. We handle this for you.
-
Yes — these are routine installs. The considerations are the cable run from the switchboard, any sub-board in the outbuilding, and conduit or trenching required. All assessed before we quote, and long runs are cabled correctly to keep voltage drop within AS/NZS 3000 limits.
-
Both. We supply and install Evnex, Tesla Wall Connectors and universal Type 2 units, and we're happy to fit a compliant charger you've purchased — contact us to confirm compatibility first.
