Tesla Wall Connector, Wallbox, Fronius Wattpilot. Single and three-phase. Done by a licensed electrician — not a third-party sparky.
EV charger installs are climbing fast across the Northern Gold Coast as more families add a Tesla, Polestar, BYD, MG or Porsche Taycan to the garage. We do the install end-to-end — switchboard load assessment, charger supply if needed, cable run and termination, RCD protection, and full commissioning.
As a dual-licensed business we don't use a third-party sparky for the install — we do it ourselves. Same person who quotes the job does the work, and stays accountable for it.
The most popular options for Gold Coast homes:
If you're not sure which to pick, we'll talk you through the trade-offs based on your car, your solar setup, and how much driving you do.
Single-phase 7.4kW charges most EVs from empty to full overnight. Adequate for the vast majority of households. Cheaper to install — usually doesn't need switchboard work.
Three-phase 11kW or 22kW charges 1.5–3× faster. Useful if you do high-distance driving daily, have multiple EVs, or want headroom for future EVs. Requires three-phase supply (most newer homes) and a switchboard with capacity. Sometimes requires a single-to-three-phase upgrade.
An EV charger is one of the biggest continuous loads in a modern home — comparable to running an electric oven non-stop for 8 hours. If your switchboard is older, undersized, or already heavily loaded, just bolting a charger on can cause nuisance tripping, overheating, or in worst cases real safety issues.
We always do a load assessment on the quote and include any switchboard work in the fixed price. No surprises on the day.
If you've got solar (especially 6kW+), you can charge your EV essentially for free during the day. The Fronius Wattpilot and some Wallbox models can dynamically modulate charging speed to match excess solar — meaning you only push power into the car that you'd otherwise be exporting back to the grid for cents.
Worth doing if your driving allows daytime charging and you've got the solar.
Range covers typical Tesla Wall Connector, Wallbox or Fronius Wattpilot installs on existing wiring with adequate switchboard capacity. Three-phase 22kW installs, switchboard upgrades, longer cable runs and load-management gear sit above this range. We always assess switchboard load on the quote.
Most installs are 3–5 hours. If a switchboard upgrade is needed, that adds another 4–6 hours (usually scheduled as the same day or back-to-back days).
Technically yes, with a portable cable that came with the car. Practically no — granny chargers (8–10A) take 24+ hours to fully charge most EVs, the cable gets hot, and the wall socket isn't designed for that kind of continuous load. Fine as occasional backup. Not fine as your daily charging method.
Probably not — single-phase 7.4kW handles most households. Go three-phase if you do 100km+ daily driving, have multiple EVs, or want future-proofing. Three-phase 22kW is overkill for most home use cases.
Yes — as long as it's CEC-approved and OCPP-compliant. Most major brands (Tesla, Wallbox, Fronius) qualify. Cheap unbranded chargers usually don't meet Australian standards — we won't install those, sorry.
QLD has had various EV charger rebate programs come and go. We can flag what's currently available when we quote. Federal subsidies for the cars themselves don't generally extend to home chargers.
Yes, in most cases — provided it's installed by a licensed electrician with RCD protection, which is what we do. We provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety with every install which is what insurers look for.
For installs and compliance jobs, send us a floor plan and we'll come back same day.
