Still Charging From a Power Point? Here's Why That's Holding You Back
A lot of EV owners start out plugging into a standard 10-amp outlet at home. It works – but barely. A typical power point delivers a trickle charge that can take 24 hours or more to fully charge your vehicle overnight. As your driving increases, that just doesn’t cut it. And beyond the inconvenience, running high loads through a standard outlet for hours on end puts unnecessary strain on your home’s wiring.
Here’s what we commonly hear from EV owners:
- Charging overnight on a standard power point but the car still isn’t full by morning
- Not sure what charger suits their vehicle, budget or home setup
- Wanting to charge faster without paying for more power than they need
- Planning ahead for solar integration or load management
- Unsure whether their switchboard can handle a dedicated EV circuit
- Recently moved into a new home and want a proper charging setup from day one
Slow Charging, Wrong Charger, Switchboard That Can't Keep Up?
A lot of EV charger installations go wrong because the electrician didn’t assess the home’s electrical capacity beforehand, recommended a charger based on margin rather than fit, or cut corners on the installation itself. The result is a charger that trips your switchboard, doesn’t deliver the charge rate it should, or causes problems down the track when you add solar or upgrade your vehicle.
Getting it right from the start means understanding your full electrical setup, not just plugging in a charger and calling it done. That’s how we approach every job.

What our clients are saying
1. How long does an EV charger installation take?
Most residential EV charger installations are completed within a few hours. If a switchboard upgrade is also required, allow a full day. We'll give you a clear timeframe before we start.
2. Do I need to upgrade my switchboard first?
Not always, it depends on your current switchboard and available capacity. We assess this as part of every job and let you know before anything is quoted or booked.
3. Which EV charger should I get?
It depends on your vehicle, how far you drive daily and your home's electrical setup. We work with all major brands including Tesla, BYD, MG, Wallbox and others, and we'll recommend what's right for you, not what has the best margin.
4. Can I integrate my EV charger with solar?
Yes, and it's worth planning for this upfront. We can install a charger that's solar-compatible and discuss load management options so you're charging from your panels as much as possible.
5. What's the difference between a single-phase and three-phase charger?
Single-phase chargers are suitable for most homes and deliver a solid overnight charge. Three-phase chargers charge significantly faster and are worth considering if you drive high kilometres or your home already has three-phase power. We'll walk you through the options.
6. How much does an EV charger installation cost?
It depends on the charger, your home's setup and whether any additional work is required. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what's involved before committing.
