EV charging in Frankston South

The charger is easy. The cable route is the job

Frankston South is not a flat grid of identical lots. Blocks fall away from the street or climb up from it, gardens are full of established trees, and a lot of the bigger homes are two storeys with the garage tucked under the house or set apart at the top of the driveway. Fitting a wall charger is the quick part. Working out how the cable gets from the switchboard to where the car actually parks, without tearing up a garden bed or a feature wall, is where the planning goes.

That is why we look at the whole path before quoting EV chargers Frankston South owners can live with for the next fifteen years. Where does the board sit, inside the house or on an outside wall? Is the supply single-phase or three-phase? Does the car stay in a garage, under a carport or on a sloping driveway? Each answer changes the circuit, the charger and the hours on site, and every one of them is settled at the site visit, not on install day.

Trees are the other local factor. A roof under tall gums or pines makes less solar in the middle of the day, so a charger left to run on surplus alone can fall short. On our Frankston South job the owner added a 27.12kWh SigenStor battery with the solar and charger, which gives the car a second source of home-made power. See what else we do across the suburb on our Frankston South page.

What we fit

EV chargers Frankston South homes actually use

Three charger brands, chosen to match the supply and the rest of the system. Every one is installed by a Powerband employee.

01

Tesla Wall Connector

Works with any car on a Type 2 plug, not only a Tesla. Up to 7kW on single-phase supply and 11kW on three-phase. A tidy unit for a garage wall or a post at the top of the driveway, with scheduling in the app so it charges in the cheaper hours.

  • Up to 7kW single-phase
  • Up to 11kW three-phase
  • Any Type 2 car
02

Sigenergy chargers

The Sigen EV AC charger runs up to 22kW where the car and the supply allow it. In a home with a Sigenergy battery system, the SigenStor EV DC module can charge straight from the stack, which is how we often pair charging with storage on shaded Frankston South roofs.

  • Sigen EV AC up to 22kW
  • DC module inside SigenStor
  • One app for the whole system
03

GoodWe HCA

Available at 7kW, 11kW or 22kW, and a natural match for a GoodWe inverter. It reads what the panels are making and slows or speeds up the car to use surplus solar first, then falls back to an off-peak window you set.

  • 7kW, 11kW or 22kW
  • Surplus solar mode
  • Off-peak scheduling
04

The circuit behind it

Each charger gets its own dedicated, protected circuit from the switchboard. On a sloping block that can mean a long run through the subfloor, the roof space or a conduit down the side path. We price the route we will actually use, and any switchboard upgrade, inside one figure.

  • Dedicated protected circuit
  • Long runs planned and priced
  • Certificate of Electrical Safety

How the install runs

From driveway walk to first charge

A standard charger install is typically about half a day. Longer cable routes on a sloping block are quoted as they are.

Switchboard and sigen ev charger mounted on a garage wall
  1. 01
    Walk the route with you

    We start where the car parks and trace back to the switchboard, noting the supply, the meter and anything in the way: garden, retaining walls, a second storey.

  2. 02
    Check the switchboard first

    Board capacity, spare space and protection are checked before a price is written. If it needs an upgrade, that is in the fixed quote, not a surprise later.

  3. 03
    Pick the charger to suit

    Single-phase homes usually get a 7kW unit on a 32A circuit. Three-phase homes can go to 11kW or 22kW if the car can take it.

  4. 04
    Install day

    Dedicated circuit, charger mounted at the right height for your cable, and the run tidied into conduit or concealed where the building allows.

  5. 05
    Set up before we leave

    Wi-Fi connected, solar charging and off-peak scheduling configured with you, a test charge done and the Certificate of Electrical Safety issued.

Rebates and the charger

What is covered, and what is not

Straight answers, because a lot of EV charger advertising blurs this.

01
No rebate on the charger

There is no Victorian rebate on a home EV charger, and we do not process one. The charger is a fixed price on the quote, with the circuit and any switchboard work included.

02
Federal battery discount

If a battery goes in with the charger, the Cheaper Home Batteries discount takes around 30 percent off an approved battery, with no income test. It is the only incentive on storage now.

03
Solar panels keep their incentives

Federal STCs come off the panels, and eligible owner-occupiers can use the Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan on the panels and inverter. See solar and battery in Frankston South.

Why Powerband

Electricians who do the whole energy system

We are an electrification company, not a charger reseller, which matters when the car is only one of the loads.

01
About 11 minutes from Somerville

Close enough that a site visit fits around your week and a follow-up after the install is no trouble.

02
Your own A-Grade crew

Licence REC 32300, and nothing subcontracted. The electrician who quotes the route is part of the team that runs it.

03
Planned with solar and storage

SAA accredited for solar and battery and a New Energy Tech Approved Seller, so the charger, panels and battery are designed to work together.

04
A local job you can look up

Our Frankston South system with a charger, battery and all-black panels is written up with the full parts list.

The whole experience of working with Powerband has been fantastic. From the get go they were helpful with the design, requirements and answering all the questions we had about the install. We couldn't be happier with choosing them for the job. Special thanks to Bailey and the team for getting the entire installation done in one day it was a huge job so for it to be done and to such a high standard is much appreciated Thanks everyone at Powerband for all you've done

We have just had a Braemer Dominator reverse cycle ducted system installed by the Powerband Electrical team to replace our gas-fired system. We were very happy with the whole process, from the sales/design discussions with Dayle to the installation by the team led by Julian and including Logan and Darren. Using the existing ducting had its challenges but the team overcame them well. Julian set up the AirTouch5 control system & zoning with us and with a sudden cold snap arriving it has proven simple to use to create a comfortable environment. In fact we are already finding it far more effective system than the considerably larger gas unit and a more uniform heat with less draughts. Thanks to the Powerband team. Ken in Glen Waverley

Petris and his electrical team did 2 inverter airconditioner installs as part of our whole solar system install. Great workers, good thinkers who could sort out a couple of small issues in short order and wonderful people to have around our house. Organised and professional. Highly recommend Powerband.

Had the Powerband team electrify out whole house. Updated the heating / cooling with split systems, replace gas cooktop & hot water and put solar on with a 30kw battery. No gas bill, solar is producing more energy than we consume. These days we barely even have the supply charge. As part of it, they put the package together of what we wanted and needed to future proof our house and showed us several options for paying for it, in the end we opted for a 5-year interest free loan. Looking at our numbers, most of the loan will be paid off from the savings from our gas and electricity savings. All the work and upgrades done and barely any out of pocket cost, nice.... The team were great - worked in with timing for the jobs when it worked for us. The boys on site were all great, friendly, polite and professional. Did the job well and packed up (and cleaned up) well. Happy to recommend Powerband to anyone wanting to electrify their house in a cost-effective way.

FAQ

Frankston South EV charger questions

Something else on your mind? Call 0466 355 441 and talk to an electrician.

Our garage sits below the house on a slope. Can a charger still go there?

Usually, yes. The question is the cable route from the switchboard, which might run through the subfloor, down an external wall in conduit or through the garage ceiling. We trace it at the site visit and quote that exact route.

How fast will a home charger fill my car?

On single-phase supply, a 7kW charger on a 32A circuit adds roughly 40km of range per hour of charging. On three-phase supply, 11kW or up to 22kW is possible if your car accepts it.

Is there a rebate on EV chargers in Frankston South?

No. There is no rebate on home EV chargers in Victoria, and we do not process one. Solar panels and batteries carry their own incentives, which we apply if they are part of the job.

Our roof is shaded by trees. Is solar charging still worth setting up?

Yes, but expect less of it. The charger will still take whatever surplus the roof makes. Adding a battery or scheduling the car into an off-peak window covers the rest, and we set both up before we leave.

Will my switchboard cope?

We check it before we quote. Many boards have room for one more dedicated circuit. If yours does not, the upgrade is included in the fixed price so you are not hit with it on the day.

We live in a townhouse. Can we have a charger?

Often, where the parking space and the meter belong to your lot. If the cable has to cross common property, the owners corporation needs to approve it first. We can provide the details they usually ask for.
