Tesla Wall Connector, Wallbox Pulsar, or whatever you've already bought — fitted properly by a licensed sparky, load-checked against your switchboard, signed off with a CCEW. Sydney metro, estimate online.
What you need to decide
Most Sydney homes go 7kW single-phase. Here's the short version of when 22kW three-phase makes sense.
Adds ~40km of range per hour on the charger. Full overnight charge from empty on most EVs. Cheaper, simpler, fits any Sydney home with single-phase power.
Good for: One EV, typical daily commute, overnight charging.
Adds ~120km of range per hour. Overkill for most home use but future-proofs for dual EVs, fleet, or rare long-trip turnarounds. Requires three-phase power at the switchboard.
Good for: Two EVs, heavy daily driving, three-phase home, small business fleet.
The install
I check your switchboard can handle the charger draw without tripping. If it can't, I price the upgrade too — no nasty surprise post-install.
Cable from switchboard to charger location (garage, carport, driveway). I'll use conduit where it's visible, in-wall where possible. You get a clean, tidy finish — no cables flapping.
Charger wall-mounted, wired, tested. I pair it with your car, run through the app with you, show you how to schedule off-peak charging to save money.

What it costs
Base install starts at $850 (short cable run, you supply the charger). A supplied 7kW unit + medium cable run lands around $1,800–$2,400. 22kW three-phase: $2,500–$3,500. Build a quote — the tool accounts for your cable length, supply option, and load check.
EV FAQ
Technically yes, but it's slow (~10km range/hour) and hard on the GPO. A proper 7kW wall charger is 4× faster and purpose-built for daily EV charging. Most people regret not doing it properly from day one.
Yes. If you've only got single-phase, 7kW is your max (and fine for 99% of use cases). Switching to three-phase is possible but expensive — usually only worth it if you're also adding solar, a pool, or a heat pump.
If you drive a Tesla, the Tesla Wall Connector is $750 and integrates with the car perfectly. For any other EV, the Wallbox Pulsar Max or the Fronius Wattpilot are solid choices (~$1,100–$1,500). I can supply whichever you want, or install yours.
Yes. Solar-diverted charging means your charger only kicks in when your solar is generating surplus — so you're charging the car on free sun instead of grid power. Needs a compatible charger (Fronius Wattpilot, Wallbox with Eco-Smart). Happy to talk through it.
