Estate homes here usually have the garage, the modern switchboard and the short cable run that make a charger straightforward. Our own A-Grade electricians fit Tesla, Sigenergy and GoodWe units, on a dedicated circuit, set to use your solar first.
Cranbourne North is mostly estate housing, built from the mid 2000s onwards, and that suits home charging well. Nearly every house has a garage at the front with the switchboard on an outside wall close by, so the cable from the board to the charger is short and simple. Plenty of households here run two cars on daily commutes, which is exactly the use an overnight home charger is made for.
Fitting EV chargers Cranbourne North homes can rely on starts with two checks: the supply and the board. Most homes are single-phase, which means a 7kW charger on a 32A circuit and roughly 40km of range for each hour of charging. Where a home has three-phase supply, 11kW or up to 22kW is possible, provided the car can accept it. Either way the board is inspected first, and any upgrade it needs is in the fixed price.
The other thing worth thinking about is the roof. Many homes here already have solar, and the newest streets were built all-electric. A charger set to take surplus solar turns that roof into kilometres. If there is no solar yet, we can size it with the car counted in. More on our local work on the Cranbourne North page.
We do not sell every charger on the market. We fit the three we know well, plus the circuit that makes them safe.
A Tesla Wall Connector or GoodWe HCA at 7kW is the usual choice. On a 32A dedicated circuit it adds roughly 40km of range per hour, so an overnight charge comfortably covers a long commute. Both can be set to charge in an off-peak window.
The Tesla Wall Connector reaches 11kW on three-phase. The Sigen EV AC charger and GoodWe HCA go up to 22kW where the car supports it. Worth it if two cars share one charger or one car does big daily distances.
All three can prefer surplus solar. If you own a Sigenergy battery system, the SigenStor EV DC module charges from inside the system itself. With a GoodWe inverter, the GoodWe HCA talks to it directly.
Each charger has its own dedicated, protected circuit, never a share of a power point circuit. In a garage beside the board that run is short, and we finish it neatly on the wall or through the ceiling.
The full range is on our products page.
Up to 7kW on single-phase or 11kW on three-phase, on its own protected circuit from the switchboard.
The Sigen EV AC charger, up to 22kW, and the SigenStor EV DC module, both run from the same app as a Sigenergy battery.
Rated IP66 for carports and driveways, in 7kW, 11kW and 22kW versions to suit single or three-phase supply.
Pair the charger with solar and a battery and set it to use surplus solar first, then off-peak power.
Our Cranbourne North write-ups so far are solar and battery jobs. These three chargers went in just next door.
Next door in Cranbourne West, a 7kW GoodWe charger went on the driveway column, alongside 28 Jinko Tiger Neo III panels, a GoodWe inverter and three GoodWe battery modules. An old disconnected solar hot water panel was cleared off the roof first.
A new double-storey build in a Clyde North estate had 19kW of solar, a 27kWh Sigenergy battery on the garage wall and a 22kW three-phase charger installed at build handover, so it was all sorted before the owner moved a box in.
In Cranbourne South, a double-storey three-phase home took a 22kW EV charger with 6.65kW of Jinko panels, a GoodWe inverter and 16.64kWh of storage behind bollards in the garage. The main switchboard was upgraded as part of the job.
A standard garage install like most in Cranbourne North is typically about half a day.
Make, model and whether your meter box shows single or three-phase. A photo of the switchboard helps us come prepared.
We confirm capacity and protection and look at where the charger will mount. Any upgrade is included in the fixed quote.
A dedicated protected circuit run from the board, the charger mounted where its cable reaches the car's charging port comfortably.
Wi-Fi connected, solar charging turned on and an off-peak schedule set before we pack up.
A test charge with your car if it is home, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety issued for the work.
Plain facts about what is and is not subsidised.
Eligible owner-occupiers can use the Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan on solar panels and inverters, and federal STCs come off the panels. Read more on solar and battery in Cranbourne North.
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount takes around 30 percent off an approved battery, with no income test. There is no Solar Victoria battery rebate or loan.
There is no rebate on home EV chargers in Victoria and we do not process one. You get one fixed figure with the circuit and any board work included.
The charger is more useful when it is part of the energy system, not a box on the wall.
SAA accredited and a New Energy Tech Approved Seller. We set the charger to work with the panels and battery you have or plan.
A-Grade licence REC 32300. Nobody subcontracted, from the quote to the safety certificate.
Close enough to book a visit quickly and to come back if a setting needs a tweak once you have lived with it.
If your switchboard has room, we say so. If it needs work, it is in the fixed price from the start.

Look at the main switch in your meter box: one large switch usually means single-phase, three linked together usually means three-phase. Send us a photo or we confirm it at the site visit.
For most commuting households, yes. Roughly 40km of range per hour adds up quickly overnight. If both cars do long daily distances and you have three-phase supply, an 11kW or 22kW unit gives more headroom.
It can be set to prefer surplus solar, and to top up in an off-peak window when the sun is not enough. We configure both before we leave.
No. There is no rebate on home EV chargers in Victoria, and we do not process one. Solar panels and batteries have their own incentives.
Yes. New boards often have room, but the charger adds a large continuous load. We confirm the capacity and protection before quoting, and include anything needed in the price.
With the owner's written approval, yes. We quote the owner or agent directly if that is easier.
Tell us your car and your supply, and we will come out, check the board and give you one written figure. No obligation.
