Every installation is completed by licensed electricians and includes a proper assessment of your switchboard, electrical capacity and charger location before we recommend a setup.

Home EV Charger Installation in Bulleen
For most EV owners, charging from a standard power point quickly becomes inconvenient. A dedicated wall charger is faster, safer and much better suited to daily use. You can plug in overnight, avoid relying on public chargers and start each day with the range you need.
We install home EV chargers in garages, carports, driveways and private car spaces across Bulleen and nearby suburbs. We can install a charger you have already purchased, or help you choose a suitable option if you are still deciding.
Before we install anything, we check your switchboard, available capacity, cable route and preferred charger location. That means the charger is not just fitted neatly, but installed in a way that suits the property long term.
Commercial EV Charger Installation Bulleen
We can help with workplace charging for staff, customer charging, fleet charging and EV-ready infrastructure for commercial premises. Depending on the site, this may involve dedicated circuits, new cabling, switchboard upgrades, three-phase charging, load management or staged installation so the property can expand its charging capacity over time.
Our approach is practical. We look at what the site actually needs now, what it may need later, and how to avoid unnecessary electrical upgrades where a smarter layout or load-managed setup would be more appropriate.le charging and integrate seamlessly with Tesla vehicles.
EV Charging for Apartments, Townhouses and Strata Properties
EV charger installation in apartments, townhouses and shared car parks can be more involved, but it is often possible with the right planning. These jobs may require body corporate approval, careful cable routing, metering considerations and a clear understanding of the building’s electrical capacity.
We can assess individual car spaces, shared parking areas and multi-dwelling properties to determine what is realistic. Where multiple residents may want chargers in the future, it is worth considering the broader electrical setup rather than treating each charger as a one-off job.
For strata and multi-charger sites, load management may help distribute available power safely and reduce the risk of overloading the building’s electrical supply.
EV Chargers We Install
Tesla Charger Installation
Tesla Wall Connectors provide fast, reliable charging and integrate seamlessly with Tesla vehicles.
BYD Charger Installation
As BYD ownership continues to grow across Melbourne, we provide charger installations designed to maximise charging performance and convenience.
Universal EV Chargers
Many modern chargers are compatible with multiple vehicle brands, making them an excellent choice for households that may change vehicles in the future.
Single Phase, Three Phase and Load Management
Many Bulleen homes operate on single-phase power and are well suited to a 7kW wall charger. This is enough for most drivers to charge comfortably overnight.
If your property has three-phase power, a faster charger may be possible. This can be useful for households with high daily kilometres, multiple EVs, commercial sites or fleet vehicles.
For commercial properties, apartments and multi-charger installations, load management may be recommended. This helps control how much power the chargers draw at any one time, which can make the installation safer, more efficient and easier to scale as more EVs are added.
Solar, Smart Charging and Future EV Readiness
If you have solar, are planning solar, or want to charge during off-peak periods, we can discuss charger options that support smarter charging habits. The right setup depends on your switchboard, inverter, tariff, vehicle and how often you charge at home.
For renovations, new builds and commercial fitouts, it can also be worth making the property EV-ready even if you do not need multiple chargers immediately. Planning cable pathways, switchboard capacity and future charger locations early can save time and cost later.
EV Charger Installation Cost Melbourne:
One of the most common questions we receive is how much an EV charger installation costs.
The answer depends on several factors, including:
The charger being installed
Distance from the switchboard
Available electrical capacity
Whether a switchboard upgrade is required
Single phase or three phase supply
Cable access and installation complexity
Do I Need a Switchboard Upgrade?
Some older homes may require upgrades to safely accommodate an EV charger. Learn more about switchboard upgrades →
Single Phase vs Three Phase Charging
The charging speed available will depend on your electrical supply and charger selection.
Switchboard Assessment Included With Every Install
This is the part that catches people out when they get quotes elsewhere. An EV charger draws a continuous high load, more than almost anything else plugged into your home, and your switchboard needs to be up to the task before installation goes ahead.
We assess your switchboard as part of every EV charger quote. We check that there is a spare circuit with adequate capacity, confirm your RCD protection is in order, and identify whether any upgrades are needed before we start. Many Melbourne homes built before 2000 have switchboards that require some attention. Older boards with limited spare capacity, missing safety switches, or ceramic fuses are simply not suitable for the load a charger adds.
If your board needs work, we include it in the quote from the start. No mid-job surprises, no second invoice, no having to book a separate electrician. We handle the switchboard work and the charger installation in the same visit. Learn more about switchboard upgrades →
What Our Client Say
The EV Charger Installation Process
1. Consultation and Electrical Assessment
We start by assessing your property's electrical system, including switchboard capacity, available circuits, supply type (single or three-phase), and the most practical cable route from the board to where you want the charger. If you are not sure which charger to get, we will talk through the options based on your vehicle, usage, and budget. We give you a fixed quote covering everything before any work starts.
2. Installation
On installation day we complete the full job in a single visit where possible. That covers mounting the charger, running and connecting all cabling, making the switchboard connection, and installing any required circuit protection. We work neatly and clean up fully before we leave.
3. Testing and Handover
We test the charger through a full cycle, confirm the circuit protection is working correctly, and walk you through operation, settings, and how to get the most out of your setup, including off-peak charging schedules if your tariff supports it.
4. Ongoing Support
We are available for any questions, faults, or follow-up work after installation. Our lifetime workmanship guarantee covers the installation itself, and most charger manufacturers offer separate product warranties of two to five years.
