EV Charger Installation

If you’re looking for reliable, expert-led EV charger installation in Brisbane and the Moreton Bay region, Connected Electricians & Cablers are your local, certified professionals ready to help you charge your electric car safely and efficiently at home or work. Electrical faults cause 40% of house fires—are you safe? Our licensed, award-winning electricians are here to make sure your electric vehicle charging setup is secure, compliant, and cost effective from day one.

Why Professional EV Charger Installation Matters

Safety First: avoiding electrical faults & fire risks

When you’re installing EV charging equipment, safety isn’t optional—it’s critical. A DIY job or “cashie” could cause more than inconvenience: poor wiring or overloads on your domestic electricity supply can lead to electrical fires, property damage, or worse.

  • Over 40% of Australian house fires are electrical-related
  • Improper electric vehicle charger installation can void insurance
  • Safety switch failures often go unnoticed until it’s too late

Our licensed and certified installers use proper circuit protection, load assessments, and modern compliance tools to keep your family or staff safe 24/7. In the Moreton Bay region, where power outages and storm risks are more frequent, proper protection matters even more. With heavy reliance on air-conditioning, lighting, and home internet, any disruption in power can impact comfort, productivity, and safety. That’s why we install to the highest standard, never cutting corners.

Compliance & Warranty: meeting regs and preserving your charger guarantee

All EV charging systems must comply with Queensland electrical regulations, and often with your charger’s specific warranty terms. Incorrect installs risk:

  • Breaching Energex limits (especially on single phase power systems)
  • Violating charger brand warranties
  • Failing rental compliance or inspection audits
  • Fines or invalidated insurance claims in the event of a fault

Regulatory compliance isn’t just bureaucracy—it’s your insurance policy and your peace of mind. We ensure all our installations align with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, Energex limitations, and your property type (whether it’s strata, freehold, or commercial).

Performance & Savings: faster charging, off-peak rates, energy efficiency

A proper charger install service isn’t just about plugging in a device—it’s about smart power usage that saves time and money. Professionally installed home EV chargers allow:

  • Charging 4× faster than a standard wall outlet
  • Load balancing for off-peak electricity rate use
  • Integration with solar for net-zero charging

Charging at home using off-peak hours or solar reduces the average charging cost to under 25% of public station rates. For example:

  • Public DC fast charger: \$0.60/kWh
  • Home solar: ~\$0.10/kWh (or free with surplus production)
  • Off-peak grid: ~\$0.18/kWh

Over the life of your electric car, this can mean thousands in savings.

Choosing the Right Charger for Your Home or Business

Level 1 vs Level 2: speed, cost, installation complexity

Charger Type Power Source Charge Speed Installation Complexity
Level 1 Standard 10A outlet ~10km/hr Plug & play
Level 2 Dedicated 15-32A circuit ~40-100km/hr Requires standard installation

Level 1 chargers are best for plug-in hybrids or occasional use. Level 2 chargers, however, offer the convenience of overnight full charging—ideal for most families or small business fleets.
Additional features of Level 2 chargers:

  • Wi-Fi and app connectivity
  • Scheduled charging times
  • Usage tracking and remote diagnostics

Single-phase vs Three-phase: when higher power makes sense

If you need ultra-fast charging or have multiple vehicles, your domestic electricity supply may need to be upgraded from single phase power to three-phase.
Benefits of 3-phase:

  • Charge an EV from 0-100% in 3-4 hours
  • Support multiple vehicles or a mix of EVs and heavy-duty appliances
  • Reduce charge time strain on your existing circuit

Some households or older properties may need switchboard upgrades to support this, which we can assess and quote as part of the package.

Future-proofing: capacity for multiple vehicles or solar integration

Australia is forecast to have over 3 million EVs by 2030. Installing a charger now means considering future requirements such as:

  • Second EV or plug-in hybrid in the household
  • Smart grid compatibility
  • Battery storage systems
  • Solar production maximisation

We recommend forward-thinking solutions like:

  • Zappi EV chargers that prioritise solar surplus
  • Load sharing between multiple charge points
  • Larger conduit sizing to support future cabling
