Our Approach to Installation
We follow a structured installation process for EV chargers to ensure safety and functionality across all property types in Bellingen. This includes checking your existing electrical infrastructure, determining compatibility, and planning the best mounting location for the charger. We assess switchboard load capacity and may recommend upgrades if your system needs support for higher current demand. Our installations are completed to Australian Standards and designed for secure, long-term use.
Our team handles all hardwiring, circuit protection and cable management, as well as any trenching or conduit work if needed for external installations. We also work closely with property owners or managers when chargers are being installed for commercial or shared use.
From planning and connection to testing and handover, everything is completed with care and attention to detail. You’ll receive guidance on safe operation and optional features such as remote monitoring or charge control. If you’re located in or around Bellingen, we’re available to answer any questions before, during or after the installation.
What type of EV charger do I need at home?
The type of EV charger you need at home depends on your vehicle, charging speed preferences, and electrical setup. Most homeowners choose a Level 2 charger, which requires a 240V supply and offers much faster charging than a standard wall outlet (Level 1). It’s ideal for overnight charging and regular use. However, your home’s switchboard capacity and wiring must be assessed by a licensed electrician to ensure compatibility and safety before installation.
How long does it take to install an EV charger?
Installing a home EV charger typically takes between 2–4 hours, depending on the complexity of the setup. Factors that influence installation time include the type of charger, the distance from the switchboard, accessibility of wiring paths, and whether switchboard upgrades or additional safety devices are needed. A licensed electrician will assess these factors beforehand to ensure the job is completed safely and in line with Australian standards.
Can I charge my EV using a standard power point?
You can, but it’s not the most efficient or safest long-term option. Charging from a regular outlet (usually 10A) is slow and can take 24+ hours for a full charge. It can also place strain on older wiring if used regularly. A dedicated EV charger is faster, safer, and more suitable for consistent use. It provides surge protection, circuit monitoring, and safer power flow tailored to EV requirements.
