Frequently asked questions
Do I need a special electrical panel for an EV charger?
Not necessarily, but it depends on your current electrical setup. Many modern homes can accommodate a Level 2 charger with their existing panel, but older homes might require an upgrade. During our initial assessment, we'll evaluate your electrical panel's capacity and recommend any necessary upgrades to safely support your EV charging needs while maintaining compliance with Australian electrical standards.
How long does it take to install an EV charging station?
Most standard residential EV charger installations take between 4-8 hours to complete, assuming no major electrical upgrades are required. More complex installations that require panel upgrades, extensive wiring, or challenging mounting locations may take 1-2 days. Commercial installations for multiple charging stations may require several days. We'll provide a specific timeframe after assessing your property.
What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
Level 1 charging uses a standard 10A household outlet (240V in Australia) and typically provides about 10-15km of range per hour of charging. Level 2 charging requires a dedicated circuit (usually 20-40A) and specialised equipment, delivering approximately 40-80km of range per hour depending on your vehicle and charger specifications. For most EV owners who drive regularly, we recommend Level 2 charging for the significant improvement in charging speed and convenience.
Can I install a charging station if I live in an apartment or townhouse?
Yes, but it requires additional considerations. For apartments and townhouses, you'll need body corporate approval and potentially a dedicated metering solution. We have experience working with strata committees across the Northern Beaches to implement EV charging solutions in shared parking areas. We can help navigate the approval process and design a system that addresses shared power concerns and billing requirements.
Are there any rebates or incentives available for installing an EV charger?
Various incentives exist for EV charger installations in New South Wales, including potential rebates from energy providers and government programs. These incentives change periodically, so during our consultation, we'll provide up-to-date information on available rebates and help you navigate the application process to maximise your savings. Additionally, some EV manufacturers offer installation credits when purchasing a new vehicle.
