EV charging in Clyde NorthShort cable runs and modern boards
Clyde North is about as straightforward as home charging gets in Melbourne. Most of the suburb is estate housing built in the last fifteen or so years, the switchboard is modern, and in a lot of homes it sits in or right beside the garage where the car parks. That keeps the circuit short and the install tidy. Of all the EV chargers Clyde North owners ask us about, the question is rarely where it can go. It is how fast it can charge.
That comes down to the supply. Some Clyde North homes were connected with three-phase power, which opens up 11kW, or up to 22kW if the car can take it. The two Clyde North charger jobs on this page are both 22kW three-phase units. On single-phase the ceiling is about 7kW on a 32A circuit, which adds roughly 40km of range for each hour on the plug. For most households that refills a commuter car overnight.
The other half of the story is the roof. If the house has panels, or will soon, a charger set to prefer surplus solar turns a sunny weekend into driving range you did not buy from the grid. We check the switchboard before we quote, put any upgrade in the fixed price, and fit the charger alongside the rest of our work in Clyde North.
