About EV Charger Installation
An EV charger is a hard-wired appliance and your electrical system needs to be able to support it safely. It must allow the EV charger to do its job efficiently without affecting its capacity to power the rest of the premises as normal, without incurring damage and without compromising safety.
There are a number of things we examine prior to installation:
- Your electrical system
- Power available to the property
- Switchboard
- Installation location
- Safe mounting options
Sometimes your electrical system may require upgrades (such as your switchboard) to support the new appliance and bring it to compliance. This is common in older buildings as switchboard regulations have changed over the years, as have our lifestyles and appliance usage (and appliances themselves!). You may need some additional cabling and wiring – our expert team will let you know if this is the case.
Single-Phase and Three-Phase EV chargers
Single-phase EV chargers (7kw) are small-scale chargers, best suited to overnight charging. 1 hour of charge provides approximately 50kms of driving. Single-phase EV chargers are mostly used for domestic purposes, except high-powered homes which sometimes require three-phase power. Single-phase EV chargers also suit businesses like hotels or those with fleet vehicles, that sit and charge overnight.
Large-scale, three-phase chargers (50-180kw) draw more power and can charge an EV in under 30 minutes. Most commercial and industrial premises including public charging stations use three-phase EV chargers. Attract more customers to your business by providing a three-phase fast-charging option for people on the go and increase length of stay.
Commercial EV Charger Features
Our team is here to help you know and understand your options. Here are some basic features of EV chargers.
- Single or dual-output: How many EVs are you charging? You may choose to consider dual output or multiple units, especially if there is more than one EV in the family.
- Smart EV chargers: Connect to your unit using wifi and optimise your charging. Set scheduled and on-off peak charging and reduce your charging costs.
- Load balancing: This feature adds a layer of extra protection for your electricity system by adjusting the output rate during peak usage times. This helps to prevent tripping and circuit overload.
- Management software: These are apps provided and designed by the manufacturer. A must-have for businesses with larger multi-unit or public charging stations requiring remote management and monetisation..
We want you to be 100% happy with your commercial EV charger installation and we want you to have an appliance that’s reliable, durable and performs. The team at Gorham Electrical has extensive product knowledge we recommend only the best brands that have well-designed, quality products.
Safety and Compliance
In Australia, all hard-wired appliances must be installed by a licenced electrician. It’s the law.

-
How long does it take to charge an EV?
The length of time to charge an electric car depends on the charger and the car battery size. A standard 60kW car battery being charged with a 7kW charger would take roughly 8 hours to fill completely, from being empty.
-
Where can my charger wallbox be installed?
A wallbox should be installed near where the cars are regularly parked, such as a carpark, or on the side of the outside wall, next to the business entrance.

-
Why install a commercial EV charger?
Some electric vehicles on the market come with a power cable, allowing you to plug into a standard power point and charge your car. However this provides very minimal charge at extremely low speed (you will not achieve full charge overnight). By installing an EV charger at work you can conveniently charge your car at work either overnight or while you work, without having to incorporate (and pay for) fast charging at outside locations.
You are also increasing the value of your business too! As part of environmental strategies to reduce emissions, some states in Australia have already announced timeframes that they plan to ban the sale of vehicles with internal combustion engines (petrol-powered cars) and initiatives that will support drivers transitioning to electric vehicles.
-
Are all accessories and software included?
Yes. Manufacturers do include all accessories with your EV charger appliance pack, including charging cable and adapters. Some include software too, which we will program and install for you as part of your installation.
-
Do you repair EV chargers?
Yes. Gorham Electrical offers repair and maintenance services for EV chargers including regular testing and ‘Test and Tag’ for commercial EV charger stations. Damaged EV chargers can sometimes require replacement parts, due to minor accidents and general wear and tear.
Here are some tips on how to look after your EV charger:
Always hang up cable in the correct position
Don’t leave the charger cable hanging
Don’t allow the charger head to drag or hit hard surfaces
Be mindful not to knock or bump the unit
Check the unit, lead and head regularly and before use.
