A licensed electrician to install your home wall-box — matched to your switchboard, your car and your budget.
A home charger (a 'Level 2' AC wall-box) is the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade for an EV owner: you wake up to a full battery every morning. The job itself is usually half a day for a licensed electrician, but the price swings on a few specifics — how far the charger sits from your switchboard, whether you're on single- or three-phase power, and whether your switchboard needs a tidy-up first.
Mounting the wall-box, running cable from the switchboard, fitting a dedicated circuit and RCD protection, and commissioning the charger — all to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.
Cable distance, single vs three-phase, switchboard condition, and whether your distributor needs notification for the added load.
Most homes use a 7kW single-phase charger (adds ~40km range per hour) — plenty overnight. 22kW needs three-phase and costs more; worth it only for big batteries or two EVs.
