FAQs

Do I need a licensed electrician to install an EV charger?

Yes. EV chargers must be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure they are safely connected, correctly protected and compliant with Australian Standards.

Can I charge my electric vehicle from a standard power point?

While it is possible for some vehicles, a dedicated EV charger is much faster, safer and more efficient. It also reduces wear on your household power outlets and provides better long-term performance.

Will I need a switchboard upgrade for an EV charger?

Not always. We assess your existing electrical system before installation. If your switchboard requires upgrading or additional capacity, we can complete the necessary electrical work as part of the installation.

How long does EV charger installation take?

Most residential EV charger installations can be completed within a day. More complex installations involving switchboard upgrades or long cable runs may take longer.

Can you install EV chargers for businesses?

Yes. We install commercial EV charging stations for offices, retail centres, apartment buildings, hotels, fleet operators and other commercial properties throughout Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

Can an EV charger work with solar power?

Yes. Many modern smart EV chargers can integrate with solar systems, allowing you to charge your vehicle using excess solar energy and reduce electricity costs.
