EV charger installation
Home EV charging installed properly: load assessment, dedicated circuit, any major charger brand.
A wall charger turns an EV from a planning exercise into a car that is simply full every morning. But a 7kW charger is the biggest single load in your house, and it needs a proper load assessment, not just a big cable.
I install Tesla Wall Connectors, Zappi, Fronius, Wallbox and most major brands on a dedicated protected circuit, with load management where the switchboard needs it.
If your board cannot take the extra load, I will tell you before any work starts and quote the upgrade as a separate line, not a surprise.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Common questions
Can I charge my EV from a normal power point?
Yes, at about 10km of range per hour. A dedicated 7kW wall charger adds around 40km per hour and charges overnight easily. The wall charger also protects the circuit properly for continuous load.
Does my switchboard need upgrading for an EV charger?
Sometimes. A load assessment during the quote tells you before anything is installed. Many modern boards take a charger with a simple circuit addition; older boards may need an upgrade first.
