EV Charger Installation Frankston

A home EV charger is only as good as the circuit behind it. We assess your switchboard's capacity properly before we install, not after.

What's Included

Home EV charger installation

Wall-mounted charger installation for the garage, carport, or driveway, matched to your vehicle and charging needs.

Switchboard capacity assessment

Checking whether your existing switchboard can safely take an EV charger's load before any installation work starts.

Circuit sizing (7kW and above)

Getting the circuit and breaker sized correctly for your charger's actual power draw, not a generic default.

Weatherproof outdoor installation

Correctly rated, weatherproof installation for chargers mounted outside, with appropriate isolation switching.

Getting the Circuit Right, Not Just the Charger

Installing an EV charger is straightforward. Installing it on a switchboard that can't actually support the load isn't — and it's the part that gets skipped by anyone quoting over the phone without seeing your board. We check capacity first, then size the circuit and breaker to the charger, not the other way around.

Appliance Circuit Installation & Hard-Wiring in Frankston

Alongside EV charger installation, our Frankston electricians handle the dedicated circuits and hard-wiring major appliances need — ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, hot water systems, and dishwashers. Many of these appliances draw more power than a standard power point can safely supply, and some require a hard-wired connection rather than a plug — particularly electric ovens, cooktops, and instantaneous hot water units. We install the correct dedicated circuit, connection point, and isolation switch to meet Australian wiring standards, whether you're renovating a kitchen, replacing hot water, or fitting out a new build across Frankston and surrounding suburbs.

Ovens & cooktops – dedicated circuit, correct isolation switch

Rangehoods – hard-wired connection point

Hot water systems – dedicated circuit for electric or instantaneous units

Dishwashers – dedicated circuit separate from general power points

Where an appliance also involves refrigerant or gas work (a split-system air conditioner, for example), that part of the job needs a separately licensed trade alongside the electrical connection.

A Reference Point

For general EV charging guidance — not specific to us — the Electric Vehicle Council is Australia's industry body and publishes consumer resources on home charging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my existing switchboard handle an EV charger?

Depends on the board and what else is already on it. Older switchboards, especially ones still on fuses, often need an upgrade alongside the charger install — we check this before quoting, not after installing.

Do I need a 7kW charger or something bigger?

For most homes, 7kW is the practical ceiling for a single-phase supply and suits daily charging needs for most EVs overnight. Higher-power options usually need three-phase power, which not every home has. We'll tell you what your supply actually supports.

Is EV charger installation covered by a licensed electrician?

Yes — it's licensed electrical work like any other circuit installation. Confirm your installer's licence, same as you would for any electrical job.

How long does an EV charger installation take?

A standard install where the switchboard already has capacity is usually a half-day job. If a switchboard upgrade is needed first, that adds time — we'll scope both together so you're not paying for two separate callouts.

Do you install circuits for kitchen appliances as well as EV chargers?

Yes — our Frankston electricians install dedicated circuits and hard-wiring for ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, hot water systems, and dishwashers, alongside EV charger installation. If you're renovating or fitting out a new kitchen, we can often quote both jobs together.
