What does a home EV charger installation involve?

Most Canberra homes suit a 7 kW single phase wall charger on its own circuit, with safety switch (RCD) protection and a cable run from the switchboard to where you park. It adds about 40 km of range an hour, enough to refill most daily driving overnight.

Your switchboard decides the job: it needs room and capacity for the new circuit, or load management. Three phase only pays off if you already have it. EV chargers are eligible for ACT Sustainable Household Scheme loans at 3% for most households.

I needed a power point and some light switches replaced recently and having used Fused Electrical last year and happy with their service, I contacted them again. Nick, as ever, responded promptly and once again, completed the work expertly and quickly.

Hi Folks, i had a circuit breaker continually tripping and thus no powerpoints working. Nicolas skilffully trouble shooted the whole thing, and worked with remarkable speed and professionaliam. I thought i had identified all the powerpoints, but i had missed a critical one on the end of the line, and as fate would have it, the solar hot water pump had a short circuit and was plugged into that one. As i say, nicolas was tops. Being a DIY person i was very interested in his work and he explained it all to me as he went along. The call out cost seemed high, but i have nothing to compare it against. And nicolas more than earned the fee and i was super pleased with the price. His focus was getting the job done without going beyond the callout fee. He made that happen. I will definately use this company again. Great experience.

These guys are the best. Initially they came over to put a couple of power points in my bedroom then they ended up installing the TV on the wall. Their second visit was to change all of my light fitting to down lights and fans in the bedrooms. And also updated the meter box to make it compliant. They’ve done a fantastic job. So reliable and efficient. Lovely guys and their work is amazing. I would recommend them 100%.

I am very impressed with Nick at Fused electrical on the recent solar installation . There are a few reasons for this:
They are on time;
Their quote was the best value for money;
Their work is neat and tidy, leaving the site clean;
They explain the installation as well as setting up the app for monitoring;
And, they are friendly and knowledgeable.
I am very happy with the quality and performance of their work and the company.

I can’t speak highly enough of the job Nick and Andre did for me. They updated the power box, installed cameras front and back and removed my gas stovetop and replaced it with an induction cooktop. Highly recommend Fusion Electical.

Nic and Andrea installed and set to work a 10kW, 1P 32kW SigStore battery on Friday last week with full backup. From start to finish Nic was professional and friendly and it was so good know the guy doing the selling also does the install! Cable management is professional and switchboard upgrade super neat. Really impressed.

We heard about Fused from Facebook and chose them for our solar and battery install (Aiko 14kw and 32kwh Sig). Nick came out to the house, gave us a personalised quote and made changes as requested. He explained every part of the quote and the timeline was great for us.
The system is flawless, we have been off-grid since and love being able to use power anytime we want!

There is a reason they have so many 5-star reviews, and we have recommended them to friends and family.
Thank you guys!

How an EV charger install works

  1. Send us a few photos

    Your switchboard, your meter box and where you park the car. From those we can usually tell whether it is a simple install or the board or supply needs work.

  2. Fixed-price quote

    We recommend a charger, plan the cable route and list any switchboard or load management work, so you know the full price before we start.

  3. Board and supply work if needed

    If the board has no room we sort that first. If you want three phase and do not have it, the supply upgrade goes through Evoenergy.

  4. Installation

    We run a dedicated circuit with the RCD protection the charger maker specifies, mount the charger and set up the app, scheduling and solar charging.

  5. Testing and certificate

    We test the circuit and the charger, issue your Certificate of Electrical Safety and show you how to use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to install an EV charger in Canberra?
It depends on the charger, the distance from your switchboard to where you park, whether the board has room for a new circuit, and whether you want three phase. A switchboard upgrade or a long run to a detached garage adds the most. We look at your board and parking spot, then give you a free fixed-price quote.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
A straightforward install, with the charger mounted close to a modern switchboard, is usually done in a single visit. A switchboard upgrade, trenching to a detached garage or a three phase supply upgrade adds time. We tell you how long your job will take when we quote.
Do I need three phase power for a home EV charger?
Not for most homes. A 7 kW single phase charger suits most Canberra houses. Three phase delivers faster charging, and Evoenergy recommends three phase for chargers above 7 kW, but it is mainly worth it if you already have it, run two EVs or drive long distances every day. Some cars also limit how fast they accept AC charging.
Can I charge my EV from a normal power point?
Yes. The portable cable that comes with most cars plugs into a power point and adds roughly 10 to 20 km of range per hour, according to Evoenergy. That can cover a short daily commute. It should be a dedicated, suitably rated outlet, not a power point shared with other big appliances.
How can I use solar energy to charge my EV?
We can install a solar-aware charger that follows your solar output and charges the car with power you would otherwise export. It works best when the car is home during the day, and usually needs an energy monitor at the switchboard.
Which charger should I get for my Tesla, BYD or MG?
Most EVs sold in Australia use the same Type 2 plug for AC charging, so most wall chargers work with most cars. The better question is charging speed, whether you want solar charging or load management, and how far the charger sits from your car’s charge port. We help you choose when we quote.
Can my owners corporation stop me installing an EV charger in the ACT?
Not without good reason. ACT law was changed so an owners corporation cannot, without good reason, prevent or restrict EV chargers. You still need to ask them first, and questions about where the power comes from and how it is billed are common. A clear proposal from your electrician helps.
Can I get a loan for an EV charger in Canberra?
Yes. EV charging equipment is an eligible product under the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme, with loans at 3% interest for most eligible households after a free workshop. Schemes change, so check the current terms before you apply.
