Residential EV Charger Installation

Just purchased an EV? Have your very own charging station that’s exclusively yours so you can charge your electric vehicle at home, whenever you like.

Best fit for you

Our team of experienced technicians will work with you to determine the best EV charger installation for you based on your lifestyle, your EV, your property and your budget.

Let’s chat about how you will use your EV charger. Some things we will ask you related to your usage patterns include:

• Your EV (size, make, model)
• When will you charge? (night time, daytime, peak)
• How long will you charge? (short charges, overnight)
• What features would you like?

Think about when you will use your EV the most such as running the kids to school or footy practice, driving to work or social activities.

Location and mounting

EV chargers can be mounted in indoor and outdoor locations (model dependent). Common locations in homes are along the wall inside the garage, under the carport or in the driveway. Mounting options include:

• Pole-mounted
• Wall-mounted
• Floor-standing

The installation location should be user friendly, safe for the user and safe for the EV charger. An EV charger is an investment for your home, your lifestyle and it is also a hard-wired electrical appliance. The surrounding environment should not allow hard knocks (i.e. garage doors), debris (such as leaves) or exposure to extreme weather. There should also be an allowance for other cars which may need to move in and out of the property.

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. 

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.

We want you to be 100% happy with your 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. Don’t risk damaging your electrical system, your vehicle or your safety by doing the job yourself or hiring someone that doesn’t know what they’re doing. You may also void your warranty and insurance. Just don’t.

Use only a Registered Electrical Contractor who is experienced in fitting EV chargers to complete your installation. Licenced electricians in NSW operate in compliance with Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000:2018 and Service and Installation Rules of New South Wales.
