Do I need a dedicated circuit for a home EV charger?
Yes. EV chargers must run on their own dedicated, RCBO-protected circuit sized for the charger's continuous current. Sharing a circuit with garage power points is unsafe and not compliant.
EV Charger Installation
Home and small commercial EV charger installation across Logan, Brisbane Southside and the Northern Gold Coast — clean cable runs, dedicated circuits and proper load assessment.
An EV charger is only as reliable as the circuit feeding it. We size the supply, check switchboard capacity, install the charger on its own dedicated RCBO-protected circuit, and commission it against the manufacturer's spec. No daisy-chained outlets. No undersized cabling.
What this covers
- 7kW single-phase home wall chargers
- 22kW three-phase chargers for premium homes and small commercial
- Switchboard load checks and upgrades where required
- Tidy cable routing through roof spaces and external conduit
- Compliance certificate and commissioning report on completion
Common questions
Can older homes support EV charging?
Often yes — but the switchboard usually needs to be reviewed first. We check spare capacity, RCD coverage and main supply rating before quoting the install. If a board upgrade is needed, we say so up front.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
A standard single-phase home install with no switchboard work is usually a half-day job. Three-phase installs and runs through difficult roof spaces take longer — we confirm the time on site before we start.
