Thinking about an EV? Straight answers

Do I need a home charger if I buy an EV?

You can get by on the cable that comes with the car and public chargers, but almost every owner ends up wanting one. A wall charger adds around 40 km of range per hour instead of about 15, charges on cheap overnight rates or your own solar, and it’s far safer for hours-long charging than a standard powerpoint.

How much does it cost to charge an EV at home?

A typical EV uses about 15–18 kWh per 100 km. On an off-peak rate of around 25–30c per kWh that’s roughly $4–$5 per 100 km — a fraction of petrol. Charging from your own solar is close to free.

Will the charger work with my next car?

Yes. Every electric car sold in Australia, Teslas included, uses the same Type 2 plug for home charging. A good charger outlasts the car it was bought for.

Do I need three-phase power?

No. Most North Shore homes are single-phase, and a 7 kW charger adds about 40 km of range an hour — enough for nearly everyone overnight. Three-phase only helps if your car accepts 11 kW or more and you often need a big top-up quickly.

Can my switchboard handle a charger?

That’s the first thing we check. It needs a spare way, enough supply capacity and the right safety switch. Many 1970s–80s boards on the North Shore need an upgrade first — if yours does, we quote that separately so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I charge from my solar panels?

Yes. A solar-aware charger like the myenergi zappi watches what your panels are exporting and sends that power into the car instead — earning you far more than the feed-in tariff would.

How long does installation take?

Most installs are done in half a day. A long cable run, a detached garage or a switchboard upgrade can make it a full day. You’ll know which before we start.

I live in a strata building. Can I still get one?

Usually, yes — NSW strata law now makes it much harder for an owners corporation to refuse a reasonable EV charger request. We can help with what the committee needs to see.

Can you install a charger I’ve already bought?

Yes, as long as it’s compliant and suits your supply. If you haven’t bought one yet, we’ll tell you what actually matters for your car and your home.

Why are the prices here estimates?

The charger is a known price; the installation depends on your switchboard and how far the car parks from it. Our installation figures are averages — $1,400–$2,200 for a typical single-phase job. We confirm a fixed price before starting, and it doesn’t move.

Rather talk it through?

Call a licensed electrician — not a call centre. We’ll tell you what your car and your switchboard actually need.
