What's included

EV Charger Services We Provide

Switchboard showing a dedicated EV charger circuit alongside standard household circuits
A dedicated EV charger circuit and RCD, clearly labelled among the standard house circuits.

Every EV charger installation we do runs on its own dedicated circuit with its own RCD, cable sized specifically for the charger's rating and the length of the run from your switchboard, calculated against AS/NZS 3008 rather than guessed at. A 7kW single-phase charger typically draws around 32 amps, and the correct cable size for that load depends entirely on how far it has to travel and how it's installed, whether that's through an internal wall cavity, a roof space, or underground to a detached garage.

Home EV Charger Installation

Single-phase and three-phase home charger installation with a properly sized dedicated circuit and its own RCD.

Switchboard Capacity Assessment

We check your existing board before quoting, so if a switchboard upgrade is needed first, you know upfront, not partway through.

Commercial & Strata EV Charger Installation

EV charger installation for commercial premises and strata common areas, coordinated with body corporates where needed.

Cable Sizing & Circuit Runs

Cable sized specifically for your charger's rating and the run length, whether that's an internal wall cavity or a detached garage.

Network Notification Handling

DNSP notification to Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy lodged as part of the job for most single-phase installs.

Compliance Certification

Every install comes with a compliance certificate confirming the work meets current wiring rules, kept on file for insurance and resale.

What actually happens on the day

How An Installation Actually Works

1

Switchboard Check

We confirm there's a spare circuit position and enough capacity, and map out the exact route the cable will take from your switchboard to the charger location.

2

Circuit Sized For Your Property

Cable is sized against the charger's actual current rating and the length of the run, calculated to AS/NZS 3008 so voltage drop stays within safe limits over that specific distance.

3

Dedicated Circuit & RCD Fitted

Power's isolated first. The new circuit is run, through conduit where needed, and the dedicated breaker and RCD are fitted at the board, separate from the rest of the home's protection.

4

Charger Mounted & Network Notified

The charger's mounted and wired in, and for most single-phase installs, the network notification to Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy is lodged as part of the job.

5

Tested Before We Leave

The circuit and RCD are tested under real load, and the charger's run through an actual charging cycle. You leave with a working charger and a compliance certificate.

What if the garage is detached from the house?

A fully detached garage or carport further from the switchboard is the scenario that most affects both cost and cable sizing, since the run often needs to go underground or overhead across open ground, protected in conduit rated for outdoor exposure. This is worth flagging when you're getting quotes, since it changes the approach compared to an attached garage with a short internal run.

Real 2026 pricing

What It Actually Costs

No rough estimates, no vague ranges. Here's what a genuine EV charger installation costs, and what actually moves the number.

$1,300–$3,500 Standard Single-Phase 7kW Install
+$500–$1,000 Additional Cost for Three-Phase Installation
$0 NSW State Rebate (None Currently Available)

Final price depends on cable run length, installation method, and whether your switchboard needs work first. We assess this on site before quoting, not after. Complexity and accessibility play a pivotal role in estimating costs.

What the rules actually require

Compliance, Done Properly

Dedicated Circuit Required

An EV charger can't legally share a circuit with power points or other appliances. It's a requirement, not a preference.

Its Own RCD

Every EV charger circuit needs its own RCD, separate from the ones protecting the rest of the home.

Network Notification

Most 7kW single-phase installs need a straightforward notification to Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy, handled as part of the job.

Strata Approval, Not Refusal

Apartments need strata approval, but strata cannot unreasonably refuse a reasonable EV charger request under NSW legislation.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A standard single-phase 7kW installation costs $1,300 to $3,500, depending on the cable run and your switchboard's condition. Three-phase adds $500 to $1,000 more. The final number depends on how far the charger sits from your switchboard and whether the board needs any work first.

Sometimes. If there's a spare circuit position and enough capacity, no. If not, the charger installation becomes a switchboard job first. This needs an on-site check, since it depends entirely on your board's age and how much is already running off it.

No, there's currently no dedicated NSW rebate for home EV charger installation. Some council programs offer grants for multi-dwelling installations, and employer novated lease arrangements can carry federal FBT benefits, but there's no direct homeowner installation rebate at state level right now.

Not unreasonably. NSW legislation requires strata approval for EV charger installations in apartment buildings, but strata corporations cannot unreasonably refuse a reasonable request. It's a genuine legislated right, though the practical process still involves an application through the strata committee.
