EV Charger Installation in Melbourne

We install EV chargers across residential, commercial, strata and industrial properties in Melbourne. The charger itself is the simple part. What decides whether an installation works, and keeps working, is the supply behind it: the switchboard, the cabling route to the car park, and how much spare capacity the building really has.

Because we are a commercial electrical contractor that already maintains switchboards and essential services in large occupied buildings, we look at EV charging as part of the whole electrical system rather than a single point to wire up.

Shared car parks are where EV charging gets complicated. The supply usually comes from common property, so the owners corporation has to approve the work, and the building needs a fair way to meter and bill each resident's charging. Adding chargers one request at a time can also exhaust the building's spare capacity long before most residents have an EV.

We help committees and building managers plan for the whole car park: assessing the available supply, recommending load management so many chargers can share it safely, and staging the rollout so the infrastructure installed for the first few bays still suits the twentieth. See our owners corporation and strata electrical services for how we work with committees.

For workplaces, retail centres and industrial sites, EV charging is usually about fleet vehicles, staff parking or customer bays. We size the installation to how the chargers will actually be used, check the switchboard can carry the extra load, and coordinate the work around trading hours and live operations.

If the site's switchboard is already near capacity, we will tell you before you buy chargers, not after. Our switchboard maintenance and upgrades service covers the upgrade where one is needed.

Every installation starts with a look at the existing supply: the maximum demand on the switchboard, the cabling distance to the charging point and the protection the new circuit needs. From that we can tell you how many chargers the site can support as it stands, what load management would add, and when an upgrade becomes the better option.

Each charger is installed on its own protected circuit, tested and commissioned, and the work is certified as required in Victoria. For buildings we already look after, EV circuits are added to the same testing and maintenance records as the rest of the building, so RCD testing and thermal imaging covers them too.
