EV Charger Installation Services in Hurstville
Charging at home is the whole point of owning an EV in Sydney — you plug in when you get home and drive off full the next morning, without ever thinking about a public charger. On a typical Bankstown-area home with a switchboard that still has spare capacity, we install a 7kW single-phase wall charger next to where you park and it gives you about 40km of range per hour of charging. That is a full battery overnight from empty for almost every EV on the road, and a few hours of top-up in the evening for daily commuting.
What ev charger installation usually looks like around Hurstville
Hurstville EV installs split between freestanding homes in Penshurst and Mortdale (mostly single-phase, 7kW wall units) and apartment carpark installs in the CBD towers (load-managed unit on the owner's meter, cable path agreed with the building manager, sub-metering strategy confirmed before quoting).

Key Features of Our EV Charger Installation in Hurstville
- 7kW single-phase and 22kW three-phase wall chargers
- Switchboard load assessment first — we tell you if the mains need upgrading
- Load-managed installs to keep total demand under your main switch
- Cable runs through the roof cavity, not surface-mounted trunking down walls
- Dedicated RCBO, isolator, and Type A or Type B RCD protection as required by AS/NZS 3000
- Charger commissioned against the manufacturer app, tested, compliance paperwork provided
Homes with three-phase supply (fairly common on newer builds and knockdown-rebuilds around Revesby, Padstow and Greenacre) can go to a 22kW three-phase charger, which triples the charge speed. Whether that is actually worth the extra cost depends on what car you drive — most EVs on the market only accept 11kW single-phase or three-phase input, so a 22kW unit only pays off on cars that support it.
Our Hurstville electricians scope the switchboard first, work out whether load-management is needed to keep the total house demand under the main switch rating, run the cable neatly through the roof cavity to the charger location, install a dedicated RCBO and isolator, and commission the charger against the app. Everything is tested and left compliant with AS/NZS 3000, with the compliance paperwork provided as required by NSW regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions About EV Charger Installation in Hurstville
Do I need three-phase power for a home EV charger?
No. For most drivers, a 7kW single-phase charger is genuinely enough — it will fully charge almost any EV overnight from empty, which is way more than a normal day of driving needs. Three-phase (22kW) is only worth doing if you already have three-phase supply and you drive a car that can accept more than 7kW single-phase input. Otherwise you are paying for a charge speed the car will not use.
Will my existing switchboard cope with a 7kW EV charger?
Usually yes on a modern DIN-rail board with spare capacity, but not always. On older Bankstown-area boards with a 63A main switch already running an oven, ducted air conditioning and a pool pump, adding a 7kW charger can trip the main. We measure actual peak demand at the board first (or size it from your bill data), and either fit a load-management device that pauses the charger when the house is drawing hard, or upgrade the mains — we tell you which one before quoting.
Do I need council approval to install an EV charger at home?
No — a wall-mounted home EV charger installed by a licensed electrician does not need council approval. Compliance paperwork is provided on completion as required by NSW regulations. If the consumer mains from the meter box need upgrading to support the charger, that portion is Level 2 (network-side) work — we coordinate a licensed Level 2 ASP for that part so you still have one point of contact.
Where is the best place to mount the charger?
As close as physically possible to where you park, and as close to the switchboard as the parking location allows — every extra metre of cable adds cost and, on long runs, sometimes needs a cable size upgrade. On a standard suburban block with a driveway on the same side as the switchboard, the charger normally goes in the carport, on the garage wall or on the wall of the house right next to the parking bay.
Can you install the charger my car dealer or the government rebate scheme requires?
Yes — we install the mainstream OCPP-compatible units (Ocular, Wallbox, EO, Fronius Wattpilot, Tesla Wall Connector and similar). If your rebate or dealer program requires a specific brand or model, tell us and we source and install that unit rather than a preferred one.
