Home EV charging, done to code.
Most Adelaide homes want a dedicated Level 2 AC charger — typically 7 kW single-phase (about 40 km of range per hour for many EVs) or 11–22 kW where three-phase supply allows. That is a wall-mounted unit with a Type 2 plug (the standard for Tesla, BYD, Hyundai, Kia, MG and most current EVs sold in Australia), not a normal power point.
We install tethered units (cable fixed to the box) and socket-style chargers (you use the cable that came with the car). Brands we commonly fit include Tesla Wall Connector, Zappi, Fronius, EO and other AS/NZS-compliant units — or we install a charger you have already bought once we confirm it suits your supply and parking spot.
Every job starts with your switchboard and meter: spare capacity, safety switches, cable route to the garage or carport, and whether a board upgrade is needed before the charger goes on the wall. You get clear pricing before we start — charger supply, electrical work and any board work quoted together so there are no surprises on install day.

What we install
Wall chargers built for overnight charging.
We mount and commission Level 2 units where you park — garage, carport or driveway wall — with a dedicated circuit from the switchboard.
- 7 kW single-phase for most Adelaide homes (full overnight top-up).
- 11–22 kW where three-phase supply is available and the car can use it.
- Tethered or universal socket units — we match what suits your car and budget.
- Smart chargers with app control and solar/load management where requested.
Before install day
Switchboard and supply come first.
A charger is only as good as the board behind it. We assess load, spare ways and RCD protection before we quote the install.
- Check whether your existing board has capacity — or price an upgrade in the same quote.
- Plan the cable route: roof space, trench or surface conduit where that is the honest option.
- Confirm parking position, wall strength and distance from the switchboard.
Install day
Mounted, tested, and walked through with you.
We do not leave a box on the wall and disappear. You know how to start a charge, what the lights mean, and when to call us.
- Mount the unit, run and terminate the circuit, test and commission.
- Set up the app if it is a smart unit — Wi-Fi, schedules, lock-off if needed.
- Label the new circuit at the board and leave the work area tidy.
Why not a power point?
A GPO is slow — and often not safe for the load.
A 10 A general-purpose outlet might add a handful of kilometres per hour and runs for hours on end. A proper charger is faster, on its own circuit, and what insurers and wiring rules expect.
- Dedicated circuit and correct cable size — no sharing with the laundry.
- RCD protection and compliance documentation for a fixed appliance.
- Room to add a second charger later if the board is sized properly now.
