How Much Does It Cost to Install an EV Charger at Home?

Installing an EV charger at home in Australia typically costs between $800 and $3,000, depending on the charger type and complexity of installation. The three most common chargers we install are: Zappi, Tesla and Ohme.

The main factors that impact installation cost, is the distance of the cable run, the charger selected and whether its single or three phase.

Other factors include the building types, for example, single or double story, tin roof or tile roof and weatherboard or brick homes. EV chargers require larger cables than most other appliances and they can be tricky to run in some building types where access is limited.

    Charging Speed

    The most common charger type is the single phase type 2 charger. These chargers use 7.4kw or 32 amps. This effectively gives you 40kms of range for every hour of charge. For the average person, this is usually more than enough to cover their daily commute.

    3 phase chargers (11/22kw)

    Homes that are equipped with 3 phase power have the option to install 3 phase chargers. It's important to keep in mind that not every car can charge at a full 22kw. Most cars limit their charging to 11kw or 16 amps per phase. This gives you about 60kms of range per hour of charge.

    AC vs DC chargers

    AC chargers are the most common type used in residential applications. They are more affordable and use less power. They are also better for you electric vehicles battery health in the long term.
    DC chargers are more commonly used in commercial applications as they usually have the capacity to handle the power draw. Whilst DC chargers are convenient and fast, they do put more strain on your EV battery.

    Tethered vs Untethered

    Tethered chargers are the most common type that we install, however untethered chargers can be a great choice in some cases. Without a fixed cable hanging from the unit, the setup looks cleaner, neater, and more discreet against your property.
    There’s less visual clutter and nothing to wind up or hang awkwardly when not in use.
    They’re also less likely to be damaged or stolen, especially in exposed or shared environments like driveways, carports, or apartment blocks. You simply use your own charging cable when needed, then take it with you — keeping the unit itself secure and tidy.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The price to have an electrician put in an EV charger usually ranges from $800 to $3,000. It changes based on the charger type, who supplies the unit, and installation factors like cable distance and the difficulty of the cable run. There might be additional costs if your switchboard requires any upgrades to support an EV charger.
    New apartment buildings are required to be EV ready which means allowing space for dedicated EV charging car parks, and enough capacity in the electrical system to handle several EV chargers.
    Unfortunately, older apartment buildings don't have any room for dedicated EV charging stations and their electrical infrastructure is not capable of supporting them. Especially apartments that were built 40-50 years ago when gas was prominent, and there weren't any electrical appliances like EV chargers or induction cookers.
    Our recommendation for apartment owners who are serious about getting EV chargers, is to book a meeting with one of our team to assess your buildings infrastructure and look at possible solutions.

    A smart charger, or solar-aware charger, uses a special clamp that monitors your incoming and outgoing power at the main switchboard. The main benefits of these chargers are dynamic load control and the ability to charger from excess solar.
    Dynamic load control means that the charger can increase or decrease its power consumption based on how much demand is on the switchboard and any given time. This prevents nuisance tripping if you're using a lot of electrical appliances while charging the car.
    Smart chargers also have presets to match the energy retailer that you use, as each retailer have different EV charging offers. This allows you to automatically charge when its the most cost effective.
