EV CHARGER INSTALLATION — MORNINGTON PENINSULA

EV charger installation on the Mornington Peninsula

Got a new EV, or one on the way? I’m Josh, a licensed electrician based in Dromana. I install home EV chargers across the Peninsula so you can charge safely at home.

CHARGERS

Which charger?

The charger that came with your car

Most of my installs. It’s made for your car and is usually the simplest option.

Evnex smart chargers

If you’re buying a charger, I like Evnex. They’re smart, solar-ready home chargers designed in New Zealand, with an app to schedule and track charging.

PRICING

What affects the install

Every home is set up differently, so I quote each install individually, and quotes are free. The main things that affect it are:

  • How far the charger will be from your switchboard (the cable run)
  • Whether your switchboard has room and the right protection for a new circuit
  • Single- or three-phase power
  • Where it’s mounted — garage wall, carport post or driveway
  • Whether you want to charge from solar
HOW IT WORKS

From quote to charging

  1. Tell me about your setup

    Use the quote form below. Photos of your switchboard and where you want the charger help me quote accurately.

  2. Install day

    I run a dedicated circuit from your switchboard, then mount and connect the charger.

  3. Tested and ready

    Everything is tested, you get a Certificate of Electrical Safety, and I’ll show you how it all works.

QUESTIONS

Common questions

Which charger should I get?

Most of my installs are the charger that came with the car, and that’s usually the simplest option. If you’re buying one, I like Evnex: smart, solar-ready chargers that are well made and easy to use.

Do I need three-phase power?

No. Most homes on the Peninsula are single-phase and charge an EV overnight without any trouble. If you already have three-phase, some cars and chargers can use it to charge faster.

Will my switchboard need upgrading?

Sometimes. An EV charger needs its own circuit, and older boards may not have room or the right protection. A photo of your board helps me check this before I quote. See switchboard upgrades.

Can I charge from my solar?

Some chargers, including Evnex, can use your excess solar to charge the car. Mention you have solar in the quote form and I’ll factor it in.

Where can the charger go?

Usually on a garage wall or carport post close to where you park. The further it is from the switchboard, the longer the cable run, which is why the quote form asks about distance.
