EV Charger Installers NSW

Why use a licensed EV charger installer?

Unlike a simple appliance, an electric vehicle charger is a fixed electrical device that draws high current and, if installed incorrectly, can overload circuits or create fire risk. Licensed EV charger installers bring the right qualifications, carry insurance and issue a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) required in New South Wales. They also manage network approvals with Ausgrid, Endeavour or Essential Energy, reducing paperwork for you.

Which EV charger suits your site?

Before you request quotes, decide how you will use the charging station. A reputable installer can walk you through the options below, but having a rough idea speeds the process.

• Mode 2 portable charger: Plugs into a standard socket. Slow, best as a back-up.
• Mode 3 wall-box: 7–22 kW single- or three-phase unit ideal for most homes and small businesses.
• DC fast charger: 25–350 kW stand-alone cabinet for fleets, visitor parking and service stations.
• Smart networked charger: Integrates with solar PV, battery storage and building management systems.

NSW rules & approvals you need to know

All hard-wired chargers must comply with AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Rules and be installed on a dedicated circuit protected by RCDs. Strata properties follow the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, so owners may require an ordinary or special resolution before work begins. Your installer will calculate maximum demand and lodge a notification with the local distribution network service provider (DNSP). Skipping these steps can void warranties and insurance.

What affects the price?

The cost of a home installation in NSW typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,500 including hardware, while commercial DC chargers start around $15,000. Key variables include:

• Charger power rating and brand
• Cable run length and switchboard capacity
• Single-phase vs three-phase upgrade requirements
• Mounting style – wall, pedestal or canopy
• Smart software licences or network fees
