    Which Connection Type Is Right for Your Home?

    The right EV charger connection depends on your home's electrical supply. Glenn assesses every property individually and recommends the option that genuinely suits your situation.

    20A Primary Tariff (4.6kW) — Glenn's Recommendation for Most Homes For most single-phase Queensland homes, the 20A primary tariff connection is the best option. It charges overnight without issue, uses your solar during the day, and doesn't require any Ergon or Energex involvement — no extra approvals, relay charges, or waiting. Your power is always available. As a real-world example, a 20A connection charges a Kia EV5 from 40% to 80% in about 5 hours.

    32A (7kW) Secondary Tariff — Faster on Paper, but with Trade-offs A 32A secondary tariff connection charges faster when the car accepts full power, and uses cheaper off-peak electricity rates. However, most cars won't always draw the full 32A — the actual speed depends on the vehicle's state of charge, its own settings, and temperature. Ergon controls when power is available — it may be interrupted during peak demand. You also can't use solar generation with this setup, and there are additional Ergon charges for relay installation.

    32A with Active Management — Ergon charges will apply (not just "may"). This is an additional cost on top of your installation.

    32A (22kW) Three-Phase — Maximum Speed If your home has three-phase power, you can run a 32A charger at 22kW without any Ergon involvement (they only require notification above 40 amps per phase). This is the fastest residential charging option, and you can fully use your solar generation.

    Not sure which option suits your home? Glenn will check your switchboard, confirm your supply phase, and recommend the most cost-effective connection for your driving habits. [Get a free quote](/contact) or call [0489 082 307](tel:0489082307).

    Is Your Home Ready for EV Charging?

    When You Need Home EV Charging Station Installation

    Recognise these situations that indicate your property needs professional home EV charging infrastructure:

    You've Recently Purchased an Electric Vehicle

    Public charging is inconvenient and expensive for daily use. Home charging stations provide overnight charging convenience, waking to a fully charged vehicle each morning without queuing at public chargers or paying premium charging rates. Professional installation ensures safe, reliable home charging from day one.

    You're Planning to Purchase an EV

    Installing charging infrastructure before purchasing an electric vehicle removes range anxiety and ensures you're ready to charge immediately upon delivery. Many EV buyers install home chargers during the purchase planning phase, allowing informed decisions about vehicle range requirements.

    Public Charging Costs Are Adding Up

    Public fast charging costs significantly more than home electricity rates. A home charging station allows charging at off-peak electricity rates (around $0.31/kWh compared to $0.50-$0.80/kWh at public chargers), dramatically reducing operating costs over the vehicle's life.

    You Want Increased Property Value

    EV charging infrastructure increases property appeal and value as electric vehicles become mainstream. Future buyers view installed charging stations as valuable amenities, similar to solar panels or air conditioning. Professional installation with proper documentation adds marketable value.

    You're Building or Renovating

    New construction or major renovations provide ideal opportunities to install EV charging infrastructure cost-effectively. Running dedicated circuits during building works is significantly cheaper than retrofitting later. Professional planning during design phases ensures adequate electrical capacity and optimal charger placement.

    Your Current Charging Solution Is Inadequate

    Charging from standard power points (10 amp) is slow and potentially dangerous if used regularly for EV charging. Dedicated charging stations provide faster, safer charging specifically designed for electric vehicle requirements. Professional installation eliminates safety risks from improvised charging solutions.

    Our Simple Process

    Our Home EV Charging Station Installation Process

    1. Home Electrical Assessment and Charger Planning (30-45 Minutes)

      Glenn conducts comprehensive evaluation of your property's electrical infrastructure. Electrical Capacity Review: Assessing switchboard capacity for additional high-load circuits, checking main cable rating for EV charger demand, evaluating whether switchboard upgrades are needed, and determining available capacity for dedicated EV circuit. Optimal Charger Location: Identifying parking location for charging access, planning cable route from switchboard to charger position, assessing garage, carport, or outdoor installation requirements, and considering future flexibility (second vehicle, relocated parking). Charger Type Recommendations: Single-phase vs three-phase charging based on vehicle compatibility, charging speed requirements (7kW, 11kW, 22kW options), tethered cable vs socket-only configurations, and smart charger features (app control, solar integration, load management). Installation Complexity: Distance from switchboard to charger location, cable routing challenges (underground, overhead, through walls), weatherproof enclosure requirements for outdoor installations, and any structural work needed for mounting.

    2. Charger Selection and Detailed Quote

      Based on assessment, you receive tailored recommendations. Charger Options: Specific models suited to your vehicle and electrical capacity, single-phase 7kW chargers (most common residential option), three-phase 11kW or 22kW chargers (faster charging if capacity allows), and budget vs premium options with feature comparisons. Complete Cost Breakdown: Charger unit supply cost, installation labour including circuit installation, any required switchboard upgrades, weatherproof enclosures or mounting equipment, and testing, certification, and compliance documentation. Timeline and Process: Installation scheduling (typically half to full day), any lead times for charger supply, and switchboard upgrade timing if required.

    3. Professional Installation to Australian Standards

      On installation day, Glenn completes all electrical work. Dedicated Circuit Installation: Installing appropriately rated circuit breaker in switchboard, running dedicated cables from switchboard to charger location, using cable sizing appropriate for charging load and cable length, and installing RCD protection as required by Australian Standards. Charger Mounting and Connection: Securely mounting charging station to wall or post, installing weatherproof enclosures for outdoor locations, making final electrical connections to charger unit, and ensuring cable management and professional finish. Safety and Compliance: All work complying with AS/NZS 3000:2018 wiring standards, proper earthing and equipotential bonding, RCD protection for electric shock safety, and weatherproof installation for outdoor charging points. Throughout installation, we protect your property, work cleanly, and complete professionally finished installations.

    4. Testing, Configuration, and Handover

      Before completing, comprehensive testing ensures reliable operation. Testing circuit protection devices and RCD operation, verifying correct charger operation and charging function, configuring smart charger features (if applicable), demonstrating charger operation and safety features, providing Electrical Safety Certificate documenting compliant installation, and explaining charging best practices and maintenance requirements. You receive complete documentation including manufacturer warranties, operation manuals, and certification for insurance or property sale purposes.

    Why Install a Dedicated Home EV Charging Station?

    Key Differences: Home Charging Station vs Portable/Public Charging

    Dedicated home charging stations offer significant advantages over portable and public charging options.

    Convenience and Time Savings

    Home charging stations allow overnight charging whilst you sleep, eliminating time spent at public chargers. You wake to a fully charged vehicle daily without planning charging stops. This convenience alone justifies installation for most EV owners.

    Significant Cost Savings

    Charging at home electricity rates (especially off-peak) costs 40-60% less than public fast charging. Over a vehicle's lifetime, home charging saves thousands of dollars in fuel costs. Professional installation pays for itself through reduced charging expenses.

    Faster Charging Than Standard Power Points

    Dedicated charging stations provide 7-22kW charging compared to 2.4kW from standard 10-amp power points. This means 3-9 times faster charging, typically achieving full charge overnight rather than requiring 24+ hours.

    Safety and Reliability

    Purpose-built charging stations include safety features specifically designed for EV charging loads. Standard power points aren't designed for sustained high loads and can overheat or fail when used for regular EV charging. Professional installation eliminates these safety risks.

    Smart Features and Control

    Modern home charging stations offer app control, scheduling for off-peak charging, solar integration, and usage monitoring. These features optimise charging costs and grid impact whilst providing convenient remote management.

    Property Value Enhancement

    Installed charging infrastructure increases property marketability and value. Future buyers view charging stations as desirable amenities, similar to air conditioning or solar systems. Professional installation with documentation maximises this value addition.

    Compliance Requirements for Home EV Charging Stations

    All home EV charging installations must meet strict electrical safety standards.

    AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Standards:
    • Dedicated circuits with appropriate cable sizing
    • Circuit protection devices (circuit breakers, RCDs)
    • Proper earthing and equipotential bonding
    • Weatherproofing for outdoor installations

    Licensed Electrician Requirements: Queensland law requires licensed electricians install all fixed electrical equipment including EV charging stations. DIY installation is illegal and dangerous, potentially voiding insurance coverage.

    Electrical Capacity Considerations:
    • Switchboard must have capacity for additional high-load circuit
    • Main cable may require upgrading for adequate supply
    • Load calculations ensure safe total electrical demand
    Charger Unit Standards:
    • Charging stations must meet Australian electrical safety standards
    • Quality chargers include built-in safety features (earth fault protection, overcurrent protection, temperature monitoring)
    Certification Requirements:
    • Electrical Safety Certificate provided documenting compliant installation
    • Certificate required for insurance purposes and property sales
    • Documentation of charger specifications and installation details

    Professional installation ensures every compliance requirement is met, protecting your investment and ensuring safe operation.
