FAQs
EV charging questions
Quick answers to common questions. If yours isn't here, give us a call.
Not necessarily. Some vehicles can charge using an appropriate standard outlet and manufacturer-approved charging equipment, but a dedicated wall charger can offer faster, more convenient charging. We’ll help you assess what suits your home.
Yes. Many home EV chargers are designed for single-phase installations. The suitable charger rating depends on your electrical supply, available capacity and installation requirements.
It can be, provided your vehicle supports the higher AC charging rate and your electrical installation has sufficient capacity. A 22 kW charger won’t necessarily charge every vehicle at 22 kW.
Yes. Compatible smart chargers can use available surplus solar energy when correctly configured with suitable monitoring and controls. The amount of solar charging available depends on generation, household consumption and charging conditions.
Not always. We’ll assess the existing switchboard, available electrical capacity and protection requirements before confirming whether any upgrades are needed.
In many cases, yes, provided the charger is suitable for Australian installation, compatible with the property and supported by the necessary installation documentation.
Common locations include garages, carports and suitable outdoor parking areas. We’ll assess access, cable routes, weather exposure and manufacturer installation requirements before recommending a location.
Many straightforward residential installations can be completed within a day. More complex cable routes, switchboard work or additional electrical upgrades may require longer. We’ll explain the expected scope when quoting.
