EV Charger Installation Perth

Install-only for a charger you already own starts from $650 inc GST on single-phase, or from $1,150 on three-phase. Supplied and installed, a single-phase charger starts from $1,530 inc GST and three-phase from $2,030 (based on a Tesla Wall Connector). The final price depends on the charger, the distance from your switchboard and whether the board needs work. Call us or send a photo for a free quote over the phone.

Yes. We install Tesla, Zappi, Wallbox, Fronius, Schneider, BYD and most other brands. Tell us the make and model when you ask for a quote.

It must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor on a dedicated circuit with the correct protection, tested to AS/NZS 3000. M Tech Electrical holds WA Electrical Contractor Licence EC 14977 and issues an Electrical Safety Certificate on completion.

Yes. We install workplace and multi-bay charging, and common-property chargers for strata buildings, including the supply, metering and switchboard work behind them.

Sometimes, but not always. An EV charger draws a steady load for hours at a time, so the board needs spare capacity, a spare pole for a dedicated circuit, and RCD protection. Older boards often have none of the three. We look at the board first and tell you straight whether it needs work. We won't quote an upgrade you don't need.

You can trickle charge from a standard power point, but it's slow, often 12 hours or more for a decent charge, and a standard outlet isn't designed for that steady draw over years. A dedicated charger on its own circuit is faster and safer. If you do want to charge from a power point, have the outlet and circuit checked first.

A straightforward install on a board with spare capacity is usually done in a few hours. If the switchboard needs upgrading first, or the charger is a long cable run from the board, it becomes a longer job. We'll give you a realistic timeframe with the quote rather than a best-case guess.

Not for standard home installations at the moment. There are federal programs aimed at businesses such as dealerships and repairers, and some other states have residential schemes, but there's currently no WA rebate for putting a charger in at home. Rebate programs do change, so it's worth checking the current position before you commit.

It depends on your car, whether you have solar, and how you want to control it. Some chargers integrate tightly with a particular brand of vehicle, others load-balance with a solar system, and others focus on app control. We'll talk through what suits your setup rather than pushing one product.

No. Most home chargers run fine on single-phase, which is what the majority of Perth homes have. Three-phase allows faster charging and is worth considering if you have it available or already need work at the board, but it isn't a requirement.

Absolutely. Switchboard upgrades are a common job on their own: older boards with ceramic fuses or no RCD protection, boards that trip repeatedly, or boards that simply have no room left for another circuit. An upgrade brings the board up to current safety standards with RCD protection on the circuits.

Yes, for part of it. A switchboard upgrade means the power is off while the board is changed over, usually most of the day. A charger install on an existing board needs a much shorter outage. Either way we'll tell you beforehand so you can plan around it.
