Home charging done properly

A 7kW wall charger on a dedicated circuit charges most EVs overnight. It needs its own breaker, RCD protection and often a load-management device so it doesn't trip the house when the oven's on. We supply the charger or install one you've bought, and certify the lot.

How an install goes
  1. Photo of your switchboard and the parking spotThat's enough to quote in most cases.
  2. Charger choiceWe'll recommend based on your car and your board. Or bring your own.
  3. Installed in half a dayDedicated circuit, mounted, tested, connected to the app.
  4. CertifiedCertificate of Compliance issued. Required for warranty and insurance.
What an EV charger install usually costs

Depends on the charger, cable run and whether the board needs a capacity upgrade. Fixed-price quote from photos before anything is ordered.

EV charger questions
Can I just use a normal plug?

You can, slowly, and it's not ideal long term. A dedicated charger is faster, safer and what your insurer expects.

Which charger should I get?

Depends on your car and your board. We'll tell you straight rather than upsell. Most people are fine with a 7kW single-phase unit.

How long does it take?

Usually half a day. Longer if the cable run is far from the board.

Switchboard started smelling hot on a Sunday night. Called at 9pm, sparky was in Riccarton within 40 minutes and made it safe. Upfront price, no drama.

Full rewire of a 1920s Merivale villa. Tidy work, clear quote before starting, and they worked around our family. Lights and heat pumps all perfect.

No hot water mid-winter with two kids at home. Fixed the element and thermostat the same morning and checked the rest of the board while here.
