Who Can Install an EV Charger at Home?

Only a licensed electrician. EV charger installation in Victoria requires a dedicated circuit, RCD or RCBO protection, compliance with AS/NZS 3000 and a Certificate of Electrical Safety lodged with Energy Safe Victoria. Plugging a 7kW charger into an existing socket or having it wired by anyone unlicensed is illegal and voids your home insurance.

Pro Fit Electrics (REC 32277) installs EV chargers across Beaconsfield, Berwick, Officer, Clyde North and Clyde. You can supply your own charger or have one supplied as part of the job.

What the Install Involves

What Goes Into an EV Charger Installation

1. Switchboard Capacity Check

A 7kW charger draws around 32 amps continuously for hours. Before anything is quoted, we check whether the board has spare capacity and whether the consumer mains cable can handle the additional load. This is the part most installers skip and most problems come from.

2. Dedicated Circuit and Cable Run

The charger gets its own circuit from the board, with its own breaker and RCD or RCBO protection. What drives the price is the cable run distance from the board to the charger location, plus whether the run is internal, through the roof, or trenched externally.

3. Mounting and Commissioning

The unit is mounted, connected, tested and commissioned. Tesla wall connectors connect to the Tesla app. Other brands have their own setup. You get a walkthrough of the charger and the scheduled charging settings before we leave.

4. Certificate of Electrical Safety

Lodged with Energy Safe Victoria, included in the job cost, and you get a copy. This is the document your insurer, landlord or body corporate eventually asks for. It is never an optional extra.

What Decides the Cost of an EV Charger Install?

Three things drive the price, and they are all checked at the free on-site inspection before you commit to anything.

Board capacity. Newer homes in Clyde North and Officer usually have physical space on the board, but physical space is not the same as spare electrical capacity. An all-electric home with induction cooking, a heat pump and ducted reverse cycle may have no headroom for 32 amps of continuous draw. Older boards in Berwick and Beaconsfield may need a board upgrade first.

Cable run. The distance from the switchboard to where the charger will be mounted. A short internal run through a garage wall is at the low end. A run across the house, through the roof, or trenched externally costs more because of the cable length, the conduit and the labour.

Load management. If the supply cannot handle the charger at full output alongside everything else, a load controller or demand management device may be needed to share the available capacity. That is discussed at the inspection rather than discovered on the day.

FAQ

EV Charger Installation — Common Questions

Do you install Tesla wall connectors specifically?

Yes. Tesla wall connectors and other EV charger brands. You can supply your own unit or have one supplied as part of the job. The electrical work, dedicated circuit, RCD protection, capacity check and certification are the same regardless of brand.

Can I just plug my EV into a regular power point?

Technically some EVs come with a portable charger that plugs into a standard 10-amp outlet, but it charges very slowly and a standard outlet is not rated for the sustained draw over hours. A dedicated EV circuit with the correct protection is the safe, compliant and practical option, and it is what the manufacturer recommends.

My switchboard is old. Can I still get an EV charger?

Usually yes, but the board may need upgrading first. A ceramic fuse box or a board with no spare capacity cannot safely supply 32 amps continuously. The capacity check happens at the free on-site inspection, and if a switchboard upgrade is needed, it is quoted as one combined job rather than two separate invoices.

What is a load controller and will I need one?

A load controller manages how much power the charger draws based on what else in the house is running. It is needed when the total available supply cannot handle the charger at full output alongside other high-draw appliances. Whether yours needs one is confirmed at the free on-site inspection, not guessed over the phone.

How long does the install take?

Most straightforward installs on a board with capacity are done in half a day. If the job includes a board upgrade or a long external cable run with trenching, it may take a full day. You are told at the quote stage, not on the morning of.

Is the on-site inspection free?

Yes. The switchboard capacity check and site inspection are free with no obligation. You get a written quote after the inspection, and if you don’t proceed, you owe nothing. Call 0417 288 047 to book.
