Fast and Safe EV Charger Installation Perth Experts

A home EV charger gives you more convenience, savings, & benefits in the longer term.

Convenience & Time Saving: Charge it overnight at home, avoid queues for public chargers, and always be road ready.

Cost-Effective: Enjoy off-peak rates, solar benefits, and potential government rebates.

Faster & Reliable: Charge your EV quicker than standard outlets and have peace of mind on how far you’ll be able to travel.

Increase Property Value: A home with an EV charger is appealing to potential buyers, and is preparing your property for the growth of EV adoption.

Environmental: Reduced carbon footprint, particularly when combined with renewable energy.

Obtain an appropriate EV charger: Select an EV charger with either built-in solar integration or solar optimisation functionalities.

Connect to your switchboard or battery: Your electrician will connect the charger to your home’s switchboard to use excess solar energy directly, or to a battery system to use stored solar energy.

Use smart monitoring: Many systems now come with smart apps to enable you to monitor charging progress, cost and what the energy source was, helping you to make maximum use of your clean, renewable energy.

Public Chargers: Report the issue to the operator (listed on the charger or in the app) and look at PlugShare for nearby working chargers.

Home or Private Chargers: Contact the company that installed or supplied the charger to ask for assistance. If that is not an option, check in with the licensed EV charger electrician.

Electrical Emergencies: For significant issues like power outages, frequent trips of the circuit breaker or sparks, you should contact a 24/7 emergency electrician right away.

Single-Phase: The majority of homes have a single-phase connection which can, at most, support a standard Level 2 single-phase charger, providing charging speeds of up to 7.4kW or 11kW. This does generally suffice for daily use.

Three-Phase: To achieve faster charging speeds, such as 22kW, a three-phase power supply would be need, so this is uncommon in homes. You would need an existing three-phase supply or to pay for an upgrade to a three-phase supply can be quite expensive.

Charging at Home: Most smart chargers have apps that track charging progress, set scheduled charging times, and allow you to monitor energy used while charging remotely.

Chargers in Public:

Chargefox – Find locations of charging stations, start charging sessions, track your session progress, and make payments.

Exploren – Find chargers, start charging (either by scanning the Q code or by using RFID), and track your charging progress.

Energy Usage:

• Use your electricity provider’s application to track overall consumption.
• Use a smart monitoring system that provides real-time insight into energy consumption if you have multiple vehicles.

Extra Tip: Use community apps like PlugShare to find charging locations and see what other users are saying.

Most home EV charger installations in Perth land somewhere between roughly $1,000 and $2,500, depending on the charger you choose, the distance from your switchboard and whether any upgrades are needed. The only accurate number is a quote for your home, and ours is always upfront with no hidden costs. Get a free quote here.

A straightforward home install usually takes two to four hours. Jobs that need a switchboard upgrade, a long cable run or three phase work can take longer, and we’ll tell you upfront when we quote so there are no surprises on the day.

Yes. In WA, a hardwired EV charger must be installed by a licensed electrician to meet the Australian wiring rules and keep your warranty and insurance valid. Plugging into a standard power point with a portable cable is legal, but it’s slow and not recommended for daily charging.

The best charger is the one matched to your car, your power supply and how you drive. For most Perth homes, a 7kW single phase Level 2 charger is the sweet spot. If you have three phase power and want faster top-ups, an 11kW or 22kW unit may suit. We’ll recommend the right brand and size when we assess your property.

You can, but it’s slow. A standard 10A power point trickle-charges at around 2kW, which can mean 24 hours or more for a full charge. A dedicated home charger is three to four times faster and far safer for everyday use, which is why most EV owners install one.

A 7kW single phase charger adds roughly 40km of range per hour, so most EVs charge fully overnight. A three phase 22kW charger is faster again, though your car’s onboard charger sets the real ceiling, so it’s worth checking your vehicle’s maximum AC charge rate before sizing up.

Charging at home is almost always cheaper, especially on an off-peak or EV-specific electricity plan, and cheaper still if you charge from your own solar during the day. Public fast chargers are handy on the road but cost more per kWh.

Sometimes. Older switchboards or homes already running heavy loads may need an upgrade or a dedicated circuit to handle a charger safely. We check this during the assessment and include any required work in your upfront quote.

In a rental you’ll need your landlord’s approval, and in an apartment or strata complex you’ll usually need body corporate sign-off and a plan for metering shared power. We’re happy to talk through the options and what’s involved for your situation.

Your bill will rise because you’re fuelling your car with electricity instead of petrol, but the total cost per kilometre is typically much lower than fuel. Charging off-peak or from solar keeps it lower again, and many drivers find the savings add up fast.
