The Installation Process
As an approved SEVR EV charger installer, we install chargers for homes and businesses across the Illawarra. Every installation is tailored to your vehicle, property and driving habits, and starts with a free quote.
Our Process:
- Site assessment: we check your switchboard and power supply, and find the best spot for your charger.
- Choosing your charger: we recommend a charger that suits your vehicle, needs and budget.
- Installation: our licensed electricians run a dedicated circuit, then mount and connect your charger safely.
- Testing and setup: we test everything, set up the app and show you how it works.
- Compliance: you receive a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) for your records.
We complete most home installations in a single visit. Jobs needing a switchboard upgrade, long cable runs, or three-phase power take longer, and we’ll confirm the timeframe in your quote. For businesses, we install chargers for staff, fleet vehicles and customers, with load management to protect your supply.
To book your installation, or for help with our general or emergency electrical services, call our friendly team today on 0419 208 035.

EV Charging Costs Compared to Petrol
One of the biggest reasons people switch to an EV is lower running costs, and where you charge makes a big difference. As a general guide, on average, EVs use around 18kWh of electricity per 100km.
- Home charging on a standard or off-peak plan: roughly 20 to 35 cents per kWh
- Home charging from your own rooftop solar: far less, and close to free when using excess solar
- Public AC chargers: roughly 25 to 45 cents per kWh
- Public DC fast chargers: roughly 40 to 65 cents per kWh
At typical home rates, that works out to a few dollars per 100km, well below the cost of petrol for the same distance. Public fast charging costs more, but is still generally cheaper than filling up. Actual costs depend on your electricity plan, your car and how much you drive, so check your retailer's rates.
The easiest way to keep costs down is to charge most of the time at home, ideally from solar or during off-peak hours. A smart charger can do this automatically by scheduling charging for the cheapest times of day. Reach out to our team today to
