FAQs
EV Charger Installation Auckland FAQs
How much does home EV charger installation cost in Auckland?
−
It depends on the type of charger, the distance from your switchboard, and whether any switchboard work is needed. Call us on 0800 177 275 or request a free quote and we'll assess your home and give you a clear, fixed price.
Do I need a dedicated circuit for my EV charger?
+
Yes — a dedicated circuit is required for a Level 2 home charger and strongly recommended even for trickle charging. Running an EV charger off a standard household circuit long-term can overload it. We'll assess your switchboard and install the correct circuit as part of the job.
How long does EV charger installation take?
+
Most residential installations are completed in a single day. If switchboard work is required, allow an extra half day. We'll give you a clear timeframe when we quote.
Can my existing switchboard handle an EV charger?
+
It depends on your switchboard's age and available capacity. Older switchboards may need an upgrade before an EV charging circuit can be safely added. We assess this as part of every EV charger installation quote — there are no surprises.
Will a home EV charger work with all electric vehicles?
+
Level 2 AC chargers are compatible with all EVs and PHEVs sold in New Zealand. We'll confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle when you enquire.
