What's Involved in a Home EV Charger Installation?

A home EV charger installation runs a dedicated circuit from your switchboard to a wall-mounted charging unit, replacing the slow, unsafe practice of charging from a standard powerpoint. A licensed electrician assesses your switchboard and power supply, installs and tests the charger, and certifies the work as compliant — typically in half a day, for a fixed price agreed upfront.

Not recommended

3-pin Powerpoint

2.4kW

~10–12 km range per hour

A standard 10A powerpoint adds barely enough range overnight for a short commute, and isn't designed for the sustained load of regular EV charging.

What we install for most homes

7.4 kW Type 2 Charger

7.4kW

~40–50 km range per hour

A dedicated circuit and wall-mounted Type 2 charger — the Australian standard for home EV charging, fully charging most EVs overnight.

Most installations

For three-phase homes

22 kW Three-Phase Install

22kW

~130–150 km range per hour

A heavier-duty install requiring three-phase power at your switchboard and an EV that supports 3-phase AC charging. We confirm this during your assessment.

3-phase homes only

What's included

What Happens During Your Installation

Every home EV charger installation follows the same licensed, compliant process — whichever charger brand you choose.

Switchboard & power assessment

We check your switchboard's spare capacity, confirm single or three-phase supply, and identify whether an upgrade is needed before quoting.

Dedicated circuit & cable run

A new, dedicated circuit is run from your switchboard to the charger location — the safe, compliant standard for EV charging, unlike a shared powerpoint circuit.

Mounting & wiring

The charger is securely wall-mounted at your chosen location — garage, carport or driveway wall — indoor or outdoor-rated as needed.

Testing & compliance certification

Every installation is tested and certified compliant by our CEC-accredited electricians — the paperwork your insurer and the charger's warranty require.

App & WiFi setup

We connect the charger to your home WiFi and walk you through the app — scheduling, solar-priority mode if applicable, and usage tracking.

Handover & first charge

Before we leave, you plug in and see it working — with a walkthrough of anything you need to know for day-to-day charging.

Do I Need a Switchboard Upgrade?

The single biggest factor in your installation cost and timeline. Here's what determines it.

Situation	Likely outcome	What it means for you
Modern switchboard, spare capacity	No upgrade needed	Standard install — charger circuit added directly, no extra cost
Older fuse-based switchboard	Upgrade likely required	Switchboard upgrade quoted alongside your charger — done in the same visit
Switchboard already near capacity	Upgrade or load management needed	We may recommend a smart load-management device instead of a full upgrade
Long cable run to install location	No switchboard change, extra cabling cost	Priced per metre during your free assessment — confirmed before work starts
Three-phase power at the property	Compatible with 22kW install	Opens up faster charging options — confirmed on-site, not assumed from your bill

Every quote includes a switchboard check — we confirm exactly what's needed before you commit, not after.

The smartest way to charge

Charge Your EV From Solar — For Free

Every kWh your solar panels generate that you don't use in the house can go straight into your car. With the right charger and setup, your daily commute can cost you nothing.

A typical 10kW solar system generates more than enough surplus on a sunny Melbourne day to fully charge a 60–77 kWh EV battery. Pair with a home battery to store overnight for early morning top-ups.

Add Solar to Your Quote

Zappi Eco Mode

Solar first, grid backup

Charges from excess solar generation and draws from the grid to maintain minimum charge speed. Never stops charging.

Zappi Eco+ Mode

Solar only — 100% free charging

Charges only when your panels are generating enough surplus. Waits patiently — then charges your EV for free.

Wallbox / myWallbox App

Schedule + solar priority

Set a solar-priority window during the day and a grid fallback overnight. Full control from your phone.

Simple process

From Quote to First Charge

Free assessment

We check your home's switchboard, power phase, and preferred install location. No commitment needed.

Clear quote

One fixed price covering charger, installation, cabling, and any switchboard work required. No surprises.

We install

Our licensed electricians complete the installation in a few hours — most jobs are done in half a day.

Start charging

Plug in, set up the app, and charge on your schedule — from solar, off-peak grid, or both.

Rebates & incentives

EV Charger Rebates in Victoria — The Honest Answer

There's a lot of outdated information online about EV charger rebates. Here's the accurate picture for 2026.

Victorian Residential EV Rebate

The state government's residential EV charger subsidy ended in June 2023 and has not been renewed. There is currently no active Victorian residential EV charger rebate for homeowners in 2026.

Not available — ended June 2023

Federal DRIVEN Rebate (Business)

The federal government's DRIVEN program provides up to $3,000 per plug for eligible businesses installing EV chargers. Available to Australian businesses, strata, and councils — not individual homeowners.

Available for businesses

Novated Lease / FBT Exemption

EVs purchased via a novated lease are exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax — and charger installation costs can often be bundled into the lease, making the charger effectively pre-tax.

Available — talk to your employer

Charge From Solar — Zero Fuel Cost

The biggest ongoing saving isn't a rebate — it's pairing your charger with solar. Charging from excess solar generation costs nothing and can save the equivalent of thousands of dollars per year in fuel.

Available — ask us how

Rebate landscape changes. If you're installing a charger for business purposes, ask us about the DRIVEN program — Supply Solar will confirm eligibility and assist with the application as part of your commercial install.

What Melbourne EV Owners Say

"Had a Zappi installed to go with our 13kW solar. On a sunny day the car charges for free. The installer explained the three modes clearly and the setup took less than half a day. Brilliant."

Tom W.Narre Warren · Zappi + 13kW solar

"Tesla Wall Connector installed for our Model Y. Quick quote, turned up on time, done in 3 hours including a switchboard check. Clean cable run, no mess. Would use Supply Solar again."

Amy C.Berwick · Tesla Wall Connector

"Got a Wallbox Pulsar Plus for our BYD Atto 3. The team suggested it over more expensive options because it suited our single-phase home perfectly. Honest advice and a great result."

James M.Ringwood · Wallbox Pulsar Plus

EV Charger FAQs

How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home in Melbourne?

The fully installed cost of a home EV charger in Melbourne typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,500, depending on the charger brand, the distance from your switchboard to the install location, whether a switchboard upgrade is needed, and whether you have single-phase or three-phase power. Supply Solar provides a free, no-obligation quote with your exact installed price. Get your exact quote →

Do I need an electrician to install an EV charger?

Yes. In Australia, all EV charger installations must be carried out by a licensed electrician. In Victoria, the installer must be a licensed electrical contractor. Using an unlicensed person voids your charger warranty and home insurance. Supply Solar's team are CEC-accredited electricians who handle the full installation and compliance paperwork.

What is the best EV charger for home use in Australia?

It depends on your priorities. Wallbox Pulsar Plus — best all-rounder, compact, works with every EV, solar-compatible. Zappi v2.1 — best for solar owners, three charging modes including solar-only. Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 — fastest (up to 22 kW on 3-phase), works with non-Tesla EVs via Type 2, premium design. Supply Solar installs all three and recommends the right one for your home and car.

Can I charge my EV from solar panels?

Yes. With a solar-compatible charger like the Zappi, your EV charges using surplus solar generation. The Zappi has three modes: Eco (solar first, grid top-up), Eco+ (solar only — waits for enough surplus), and Fast (full grid power). The Wallbox Pulsar Plus can also prioritise solar via the myWallbox app. Pairing solar and an EV charger is the fastest way to reduce your total energy costs.

What is the difference between 7kW and 22kW EV chargers?

A 7.4 kW single-phase charger adds roughly 40–50 km of range per hour — more than enough for overnight home charging. A 22 kW three-phase charger adds around 130–150 km per hour, but requires three-phase power at your home and an EV that supports 3-phase AC charging. Most Melbourne suburban homes have single-phase power, making a 7.4 kW Type 2 charger the practical standard. We check your home's power configuration before recommending.

What is a Type 2 EV charger?

Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) is the standard EV charging connector in Australia and Europe. It supports single-phase (up to 7.4 kW) and three-phase (up to 22 kW) charging. All new EVs sold in Australia use a Type 2 inlet — Tesla, BYD, Hyundai, Kia, MG, Polestar, and more. A Type 2 home charger is significantly faster than a standard 10A household socket.

Is there an EV charger rebate in Victoria in 2026?

For homeowners — no. The Victorian residential EV charger subsidy ended in June 2023 and has not been renewed. For businesses, the federal DRIVEN program provides up to $3,000 per plug for eligible organisations. EV owners on novated leases may be able to include charger costs pre-tax via their FBT-exempt lease. And pairing your charger with solar removes your fuel cost altogether — often the biggest saving of all.
