Benefits of Installing an EV Charger
A professionally installed EV charger improves charging speed, safety and control over energy use.

For commercial sites, EV chargers can support staff, customers, tenants and fleet vehicles. They also help improve site amenity and prepare the property for growing EV demand.
For industrial operations, EV charging infrastructure can support service vehicles, site vehicles, light commercial fleets and future electrification planning.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need an electrician to install an EV charger?
Yes. A dedicated EV charger must be installed by a licensed electrician. It requires correct circuit protection, cabling, load assessment and compliance checks.
Can I install an EV charger at home?
Yes. Most homes can have a home EV charger installed. Your switchboard capacity, available supply and cable route need to be assessed first.
Is a Tesla EV charger compatible with other electric vehicles?
Some Tesla wall connectors can charge non-Tesla vehicles when the plug type and charger settings are compatible. We can check your vehicle, charger model and site requirements.
What is the difference between a home EV charger and a standard power point?
A home EV charger is designed for regular electric vehicle charging. It is usually faster, safer and better protected than a standard power point.
Do commercial sites need load management for EV chargers?
Many commercial EV charger installations need load management, especially when multiple chargers operate at the same time. This helps reduce demand spikes and protects the site supply.
Can EV chargers work with solar power?
Yes. Some EV chargers can integrate with solar systems and charge using excess solar generation. Compatibility depends on the charger, inverter and site setup.
What should I do if my property loses power?
First determine whether neighbouring properties are also affected. If surrounding properties still have power, inspect your switchboard for tripped safety switches or circuit breakers. If power cannot be safely restored or the cause remains unknown, contact a licensed electrician and avoid attempting electrical repairs yourself.
Can you install EV chargers for industrial fleets?
Yes. We can assess industrial sites for EV charger installation, fleet charging, three-phase supply, load capacity and future expansion.

Common causes include earth leakage, water ingress, damaged cabling, charger faults, overloaded circuits or incorrect protection.
