HOME EV CHARGER INSTALLATION IN MELBOURNE

Got a new EV or thinking about making the switch? A dedicated Level 2 home charger is the smartest upgrade you can make. Charging from a standard power point is slow and can put strain on a circuit that wasn't designed for it. A properly installed wall charger is faster, safer, and better for your vehicle long-term.

S+ Electrical Services installs EV chargers across Melbourne's eastern suburbs — Ringwood, Croydon, Mitcham, Blackburn, Box Hill, Doncaster, and beyond. Owner-operator Jeremy handles every job personally, assessing your switchboard, running a dedicated circuit, and installing your charger to full AS/NZS 3000 compliance.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN EVERY INSTALLATION

We don't just bolt a charger to the wall and leave. Every S+ EV charger installation includes:

Switchboard Assessment — We check your board has capacity and identify if an upgrade is needed before anything goes on the wall.
Dedicated Circuit — A correctly rated circuit run specifically for your charger — no sharing with other loads.
Weatherproof Installation — Mounted in your garage or outdoors to manufacturer specs and Australian standards.
RCD Protection — Safety switch protection on the EV circuit as required under AS/NZS 3000.
Testing & Commissioning — Full functional test before we leave.
Certificate of Electrical Safety — Issued for every installation. Required in Victoria and protects your home insurance.

CHARGERS & VEHICLES WE SUPPORT

We work with all major EV brands and charger types available in Australia:

Tesla — Wall Connector Gen 3 (our most common install)
BYD — Atto 3, Seal, Dolphin, Shark
Hyundai / Kia — Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, EV6, EV9
MG — ZS EV, MG4
Volvo — XC40, C40, EX90

Not sure which charger to get? We're happy to advise based on your vehicle, usage habits, and switchboard setup — no pressure, just honest advice.

WHY NOT JUST USE A POWER POINT?

A standard 10A power point will charge your EV, but very slowly — typically adding only 10–15km of range per hour. More importantly:

Standard points aren't rated for continuous high-load charging over many hours
Extension leads with EVs are a fire risk
A dedicated charger adds 25–50km of range per hour depending on the unit
Dedicated circuits protect your home wiring and your vehicle's battery management system

A proper installation pays for itself quickly in peace of mind, charge speed, and electrical safety.
