What Our EV Charger Installation Service Covers
From a single home charger to a full commercial multi-bay setup, our licensed electricians handle every aspect of EV charging infrastructure across Parramatta.
Residential EV Charger Installation
For Parramatta homeowners, we handle the complete installation, including switchboard assessment, circuit installation, charger mounting, wiring, and full commissioning. Most residential installations are completed in a single visit.
Switchboard Assessment & Upgrades
A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 32A circuit. Older switchboards across Parramatta’s housing stock often require an upgrade to support this load. We include any necessary work in our upfront quote.

Modern smart chargers allow for scheduled charging during off-peak windows, load balancing, and remote monitoring via apps. We ensure these features are configured to work as intended.
Solar Integration
Pairing your solar system with a smart EV charger allows you to prioritise charging from your own generation. Our team handles the configuration between the charger, inverter, and monitoring system.
Commercial EV Charger Installation
We design and install commercial setups for businesses in Parramatta, Westmead, and Merrylands, ensuring proper load management for the building’s infrastructure.

What Is EV Charger Installation – And Why Does It Matter?
A standard wall socket – a regular 10A GPO – will charge an electric vehicle, but slowly. Depending on your vehicle and battery size, a full charge from a standard socket can take 24 hours or more. That’s not a practical everyday solution for most households.
A dedicated home EV charger must be:
- Properly wired
- Correctly rated
- Installed by a licensed electrician
The result is a solution that charges your EV dramatically faster, is safer for the vehicle and your home’s electrical system, and integrates properly with your switchboard rather than drawing sustained high current through a circuit that wasn’t designed for it.
EV home charger installation means your vehicle charges overnight and is ready every single morning — the same way you’d expect a phone to charge. It’s the difference between EV ownership being seamless and it being a constant logistical consideration.
Level 1 vs. Level 2 – What You’re Actually Choosing Between
Understanding the difference between charger types is the starting point for any home EV charging decision.
Level 1 Charging
This is a standard 10A wall socket. It works, but it’s slow — typically adding around 10-15km of range per hour of charging. For low-mileage drivers with small battery vehicles, it may be sufficient. But for most households, it isn’t.
Level 2 Charging
A dedicated 32A circuit with a wall-mounted EV charger unit — this is what most EV owners install at home. Level 2 adds roughly 30-50km of range per hour depending on the vehicle, meaning a typical overnight charge covers most weekly driving.
Our team can handle EV home charger installation, including full commissioning and compliance, all across Parramatta and the wider region. The right choice for you depends on:
- Your Vehicle: Different EVs have different onboard charger capacities. We match the charger to what your vehicle can actually use.
- Your Daily Driving Distance: A household covering 30km a day has different needs to one covering 150km. We size the solution to your actual usage.
- Your Existing Electrical Setup: Your switchboard may already have capacity for a new 32A circuit, or it may need upgrading. We assess this upfront.

Frequently Asked Question
What is a standard EV charger installation?
A standard EV charger installation involves setting up an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) at your home or workplace, which provides a safe and efficient way to charge your electric vehicle. The process includes assessing the electrical infrastructure, selecting the appropriate charger type and capacity, obtaining necessary permits, and installing the charger by a licensed electrician. The installation typically includes mounting the charging unit, connecting it to a dedicated circuit breaker, and ensuring all safety measures are in place for optimal functionality and protection.
How much does it cost to install an electric car charger in Australia?
The cost of installing an electric car charger in Australia can vary depending on factors such as the type of charger, location, and any additional electrical upgrades needed. Generally, the cost ranges from AUD 500 to AUD 2,000 for a standard installation. This includes the cost of the charger itself, as well as labour and materials for installation. However, costs may increase if your electrical panel needs upgrading or if the installation requires complex wiring. Keep in mind that government incentives and rebates may be available to offset some of these costs.
What is the difference between Level 1 and 2 EV chargers?
Level 1 and Level 2 EV chargers differ in charging speed and power supply. Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V AC outlet and offer a slow charging rate, typically providing 3.5 to 6.5 km of driving range per hour of charging. These chargers are suitable for overnight charging and can be plugged into a standard household outlet.
Level 2 chargers use a 240V AC power supply and provide a faster charging rate, generally offering 20 to 40 km of driving range per hour of charging. They require a dedicated circuit and professional installation by a licensed electrician. Level 2 chargers are more suitable for drivers with longer commutes or those looking for quicker charging times.
