EV charging in Frankston SouthThe 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.
