Q: Can I install an EV charger myself?

No. Installing an EV charger involves high-voltage electrical systems and must be completed by a licensed electrician to ensure safety, compliance with Australian regulations, and optimal performance.

Q: Is it worth installing an EV charger?

Yes. A home EV charger is convenient and cost-effective, allowing you to charge overnight at lower electricity rates, avoid public charging queues, and maintain battery health. It can also increase your property value.

Q: How much does it cost to install an EV charging unit?

The cost varies depending on the charger type, power capacity, and installation complexity. Typically, the charger costs between $500 and $2,000, while installation ranges from $750 to $1,250. A professional assessment provides an accurate quote.

You should consider your power supply, installation location, and charging frequency. A licensed electrician will assess your system, ensure it can handle the load, and recommend the most suitable setup for safe and efficient operation.

Yes, but you need a licensed electrician experienced in EV charger installations. A qualified installer ensures proper wiring, load management, and compliance with Australian standards.

Charging an EV at home increases electricity usage, but it is generally cheaper than petrol. Costs can be reduced by charging during off-peak hours or using solar power, and smart chargers help monitor and optimise energy use.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shuttle Electrics came out for an in-person visit to assess the scope of work and provided multiple quotes tailored to different options, which was really helpful. Their pricing was competitive and transparent.

Matt and Nathan completed all the work in a single day, and the range of tasks they handled was a clear reflection of their skill and experience. They were friendly, polite, and worked with minimal disruption—cleaning as they went, which I really appreciated.

I can confidently recommend Shuttle Electrics and will definitely be reaching out to them again for future work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently met Matt Shuttle of Shuttle Electrics at a business networking meeting. He come across as a business man that prides himself on customer service, reliability and providing the customer with what they need with minimum fuss. Within a few days I had a quote for two new split system air conditioners that were long overdue in my house. After tweaking the budget for a few days I contacted Matt and we found a mutually convenient time to have the units install within a few days. He and his crew arrived, on time, went about the install with a minimum of fuss and there was no trace of them (except two new split systems) when they cleaned up and left. I've been running the units for a about a week now and Matt's advice has certainly paid off. I can't wait for summer knowing that my house is going to be frosty on those 35 plus days. Thanks Matt!!

How much does it cost to install an EV charging unit?

The best way to get a clear idea is to chat with an installer who can assess your setup and give you an exact quote.

Most home ev charger installations take around 2 to 4 hours, but this can vary. If additional electrical work is needed, such as upgrading your switchboard, it may take longer. Your installer will assess your setup and let you know exactly what to expect before the work begins.

What do I need to know about installing an EV charger at home?
