Electric vehicle home charging

Standard installation of our Zappi or Wall Connector 7kW / 32 AMP single phase EV charger includes:

• Dedicated circuit of around 15 metres of wall and/or ceiling mounted cable
• Single phase isolation switch, mounted
• All associated electrical containment and hardware fixings
• Switchboard electrical circuit protection
• Compliant with AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical Installation Wiring Rules
• Located within metro Melbourne
• 5-year workmanship warranty.

Non-standard installations may be required depending on the distance and route between your switchboard and the charging location, as sometimes additional electrical or earthworks are required to get you connected. Your installation quote will also reflect whether your home has three-phase power, solar, solar batteries, or your charger requires internet connectivity. Installations outside of metro Melbourne may incur a regional travel fee. We’ll identify these as we prepare your quote.

Home EV charging costs vary depending on what vehicle you have, how far you drive each day, how much you pay for electricity and when you charge. 

To get an estimate of how much you could save use the Green Vehicle Guide Home Charging Calculator.

If you have rooftop solar, you could power your vehicle with renewable energy and reduce your running costs even further.

Single phase and three-phase power are power supply connection systems with different power levels to suit different electrical needs. 

Single-phase power is generally used in residential homes where the electrical equipment and systems are smaller and have lower energy needs.
Three-phase power is suited to workshops, large buildings and larger homes with many large energy-intensive appliances.

Most residential homes run effectively on single-phase power. Generally, if you‘re unsure which type of power connection have in your home it's likely to be single phase.

A quick way to check is to go to your meter box and look at the fuse cartridges. If you have one main switch or fuse cartridge, you have a single-phase connection. If you have three, you have three-phase power.

If you're not sure what connection type you have, we’ll guide you through this when you request a quote.

In most cases, there won’t be a need to upgrade your incoming supply mains power.  

In the unlikely event you’re reaching the upper limits of your home’s maximum demand and spare capacity, you may consider upgrading your incoming power supply to avoid nuisance tripping and enjoy maximum charging speeds. Our qualified electricians can guide you through this during charger installation.
