Home EV charger installation in Cleveland

A new EV in the driveway and a standard power point that took over 24 hours to charge. We installed a dedicated 7kW wall charger.

What was wrong

  • The family had just bought an electric car and were charging from a standard 10A power point — a full charge took more than 24 hours.
  • The garage power point was on a shared circuit with the outdoor lights, so charging overnight risked overloading it.
  • They wanted charging to be fast, safe and on its own circuit before relying on the car for the daily commute.

What we installed

  • A 7kW wall-mounted EV charger on the garage wall, next to where the car parks
  • A dedicated 32A circuit run from the switchboard, with its own safety switch
  • Load management so the charger automatically slows down if the house is using a lot of power
  • Full testing, certification and a walkthrough of the charger's scheduling app for off-peak charging

The result

A full overnight charge now takes around 7 hours instead of 24-plus, and the charger is set to run on off-peak tariffs to keep running costs down.

The dedicated circuit means no more sharing with outdoor lights — everything is protected by its own safety switch and certified to Australian Standards.
