Coffs Harbour EV Chargers
Switching to an electric vehicle is a smart move, but without a proper charger at home or work, it can quickly become inconvenient. That’s why we make EV charger installations simple, safe and suited to your setup. At Ray Smith Electrical, we install EV chargers for both residential and commercial properties in Coffs Harbour, tailoring each install to your power supply, vehicle type and charging habits.
Whether you need a wall-mounted unit in your garage or a more robust setup for your business, we’ll make sure your system is compliant, efficient and future-ready. We also help you understand charging speeds, circuit loads and how your charger fits into your broader energy usage.
If you’re ready to make EV charging easy and reliable, give us a call on 02 6652 4242. We’ll help you find the right setup for your needs.
Smart Installations That Work
Not all EV chargers are the same, and not all homes or businesses are wired for them right out of the box. That’s why we take the time to assess your existing electrical system before we install anything.
We’ll look at your switchboard capacity, distance from the charger to the meter, and whether single or three-phase power is in place. From there, we install the most compatible charging unit, ensure safe circuit loading and provide tips for day-to-day use. We can even integrate your charger with solar or battery systems if you’re looking to charge your car using stored energy. Everything is done to Australian standards, with a neat finish and proper handover.
If you’re not sure where to start with EV charging, we’re happy to chat through your options. Just give us a call on 02 6652 4242.
Can I install an EV charger at home myself?
No. EV charger installation must be done by a licensed electrician. These chargers require dedicated circuits, correct load calculations and safety testing to meet Australian electrical standards. DIY installs are dangerous and can void warranties or insurance. A qualified electrician will assess your home’s wiring, install the charger safely, and ensure it operates efficiently without overloading your system.
Can I connect my EV charger to solar panels?
Yes, many EV chargers can be integrated with solar systems. This allows you to use excess solar energy to charge your vehicle, reducing your reliance on grid electricity and cutting costs. Some chargers come with smart load balancing or solar tracking features to optimise usage based on solar production. You’ll need to work with an installer familiar with solar integration to ensure everything is configured properly.
How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle at home?
Charging time depends on your charger’s power output and your vehicle’s battery size. A typical 7kW charger (single-phase) can take 6–10 hours to fully charge a standard EV, while a 22kW three-phase charger can reduce that to 2–4 hours if both the vehicle and system support it. Charging overnight is common for most households, ensuring the vehicle is ready each morning.
