EV Charger Installation in Montmorency
Montmorency is an established suburb with a mix of original brick homes and more recent renovations, and EV uptake across the Diamond Valley corridor has been steadily increasing. If you have an electric vehicle and want to charge at home properly, the answer is a dedicated wall charger installed by a licensed electrician, not a standard power point.
Bitz Electrical installs home EV chargers across Montmorency and the surrounding north-east. Jonathan Bitzikopoulos has been working in this area for over 25 years. We assess your switchboard, recommend the right charger for your vehicle and setup, and complete the installation to Australian standards, with a certificate of electrical safety issued on the day.
Every installation comes with our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Home EV Charger Installation, Done Properly
Most EV owners in Montmorency are running a Tesla, BYD, or comparable AC-charging vehicle. A standard 7kW or 11kW wall-mounted charger will charge the average EV overnight, comfortably, without putting unusual load on your home's electrical system. For homes with 3-phase power, a 22kW charger is also an option, and significantly reduces charge times.
Before any charger goes in, we assess your existing switchboard. Many homes in Montmorency were built in the 1970s and 1980s and may have older switchboards that need attention before the additional load of an EV charger is added. We identify that upfront, give you a clear quote, and handle the whole job, including any switchboard work, as a single installation.We install 7kW and 22kW AC wall chargers compatible with all major EV brands, including Tesla, Hyundai, BYD, Kia, and MG. Wall-mounted or freestanding, garage or carport, we work around your setup.
Chargers we commonly install:
Tesla Wall Connector
Wallbox Pulsar Plus and Copper SB
Fronius Wattpilot (solar-integrated charging)
Zappi (for homes with solar)
Generic OCPP-compatible AC wall chargers
Not sure which charger suits your vehicle or home? We can advise on that as part of the assessment, with no obligation.
What the installation involves:
Switchboard Assessment
We check the capacity of your switchboard, the condition of existing circuits, and whether your current setup can safely accommodate the additional load. If your board needs upgrading, we'll quote that alongside the charger installation so you have one clear scope and one job.
Charger Selection
If you haven't yet purchased a charger, we can help you choose the right one for your vehicle, your power supply (single or three phase), and your parking situation. If you've already bought one, we'll install it. Either way, we'll confirm it's the right fit before we start.
Installation and Testing
We run a dedicated circuit from your switchboard to the charger location, mount the unit, make all connections, and test the full system before we leave. You'll receive a certificate of electrical safety on completion. The job typically takes half a day, depending on cable run lengths and any switchboard work required.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The cost depends on the charger type, the location of your switchboard, and whether any switchboard work is needed first. For a straightforward installation of a 7kW wall charger on a modern board, most jobs run between $800 and $1,400 all in. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises. Call 1300 215 193 or send an enquiry for a quote specific to your property.
-
Not always. Many homes can accommodate a 7kW charger without any additional switchboard work. Older homes with smaller switchboards or limited spare capacity may need a circuit upgrade or a full switchboard replacement first. We assess this as part of every EV charger quote, so you know the full cost before we start.
-
Most home EV charger installations take between three and five hours. If switchboard work is also required, allow a full day. We aim to complete the job in a single visit wherever possible.
-
Most installations take between four and six hours. If a switchboard upgrade is required at the same time, allow a full day.
-
Yes. All modern EVs sold in Australia use a Type 2 AC connector or include an adapter. We install chargers compatible with Tesla, BYD, Volvo, Polestar, Kia, Hyundai, Mercedes, BMW, and every other EV available in the Australian market. If you're unsure about compatibility, ask us before you buy the unit.
-
Yes. If you have solar panels, a solar-integrated charger like the Zappi or Fronius Wattpilot allows you to prioritise charging from your own generation rather than the grid. This can significantly reduce the running cost of your EV over time. We can advise whether your existing solar setup is compatible.
-
No council permits are required for a standard residential EV charger installation. Your licensed electrician is required to issue a certificate of electrical safety on completion, which we provide for every job. For commercial installations, requirements may differ.
