Charging at home shouldn’t be hard. We make it easy and stress-free.
Most homes can accommodate an EV charger, but we’ll carry out a site assessment to check your switchboard capacity, available power, and overall electrical infrastructure to make sure it’s suitable.
Yes. We install weatherproof, outdoor-rated chargers that are safe for external use. We’ll make sure it’s mounted securely and protected from the elements.
Charging at home will increase your electricity usage, but smart chargers like OHME allow you to schedule charging during off-peak times to help manage costs. We’re happy to recommend solutions that suit your usage and tariff structure.
We install a wide range of EV chargers including:
Many of these come with mobile apps for easy scheduling, monitoring, and energy tracking.
You’ll need to consider the location of the charger, your vehicle’s charging needs, the existing electrical setup in your home, and your budget. We’ll walk you through all of this during your quote.
Home EV chargers are usually Level 2 AC wall-mounted units. They’re available in single-phase (common in most homes) or three-phase (for faster charging, if supported). We’ll help you pick the right one.
We’ll look at your car’s charging capacity and your home’s available power. Most homes use 7kW single-phase chargers, but if you have three-phase power, 22kW may be an option.
Yes. You’ll need a dedicated circuit, a safety switch (RCD), and a switchboard with enough capacity. We’ll check this and handle any required upgrades.
We perform a load assessment to ensure your home can safely support the charger. If not, we’ll advise on any upgrades needed, such as a switchboard upgrade or additional safety measures.
All installations must meet Australian standards (AS/NZS 3000). As licensed electricians, we make sure everything is done properly and provide certification for the work.
Using a 7kW charger, a full charge usually takes 6 to 10 hours, depending on your vehicle’s battery. Faster 22kW chargers (with 3-phase power) can reduce this to 2 to 4 hours.
Yes, but it’s very slow and not ideal for regular use. A dedicated EV charger is faster, safer, and more reliable.
Proper installation is key, this includes using the right wiring, ensuring correct load management, and weatherproofing for outdoor setups. Only a licensed electrician should handle this work.
If your home has 3-phase power, you can use a faster 22kW charger, which significantly reduces charging time. It’s especially helpful for larger batteries or multiple drivers in the home.
Yes. The charger will simply draw power from one phase. It’s a common and safe option in homes with 3-phase power that don’t need the full speed.
AC charging (used at home) is slower but more affordable. DC charging is much faster but is typically found at commercial or public charging stations due to the high cost and power requirements.
Many chargers come with apps or dashboards that allow you to schedule charging, track energy use, and get real-time status updates. We’ll show you how to use these features if your charger supports them.
