EV chargers Mount Eliza VIC 3930

Charge the car from your Mount Eliza roof

Big roofs, and on many of them panels already. We fit a Tesla, Sigenergy or GoodWe charger on its own protected circuit and set it to use your solar first, with off-peak scheduling for the rest. Our own A-Grade electricians, 12 minutes away in Somerville.

EV charging in Mount Eliza

Bigger homes, longer runs, more roof

EV chargers Mount Eliza homes need are not always a two-metre job. The houses tend to be larger, a lot of them are two-storey, and the switchboard is not always beside where the car parks. On some properties the board is at one end of the house and the garage at the other, so the first thing we work out is the cable route, and whether it goes through the roof space, under the floor or neatly along the outside.

The second thing is the supply. A single-phase home gets about 7kW on a 32A circuit, which is roughly 40km of range for every hour plugged in. If the house has three-phase, 11kW or up to 22kW is possible, depending on what the car can accept. We check the board and the main supply before quoting and put any upgrade in the fixed price.

What sets Mount Eliza apart is the roof. Large roofs, and in many cases panels already on them, mean the car can often run on daytime surplus, and a charger told to prefer solar uses power that would otherwise be exported for a few cents. Near the water we keep outdoor chargers out of the weather where we can. It all goes in alongside our other work in Mount Eliza.

Options for Mount Eliza

The charger, and where it lives

Three charger ranges, plus the details that matter on a bigger Mount Eliza property.

01

Tesla Wall Connector

Up to 7kW on single-phase or 11kW on three-phase, with scheduling in its app. A clean option on the wall of a double garage, and the obvious one if the car is a Tesla.

  • 7kW or 11kW
  • App scheduling
  • Own protected circuit
02

Sigenergy for solar homes

The Sigen EV AC charger runs up to 22kW on three-phase. If you are adding a Sigenergy battery to the panels you have, or replacing an older system, the SigenStor EV DC module can also work inside that Sigenergy system.

  • Up to 22kW AC
  • DC module within Sigenergy
  • Solar-first charging
03

GoodWe HCA

Offered at 7kW, 11kW or 22kW so it can be matched to the supply, and a good partner for a GoodWe inverter and battery.

  • Pairs with GoodWe systems
  • Off-peak timer
04

The long run and the board

Where the garage is a long way from the switchboard, the cable is sized for the distance and routed out of sight. If the board is old or full, the upgrade is in the quote rather than added on the day.

  • Cable sized for the distance
  • Routed out of sight
  • Board upgrade in the price

Install day in Mount Eliza

From the switchboard to the first charge

A standard install is typically about half a day. A long cable run adds time, and the quote says so.

Incentives

Where the money is, and where it is not

Home EV chargers have no rebate in Victoria. The battery and any new panels do, and we apply those on the quote.

Federal battery discount

Adding a battery so the car can charge from stored solar at night? The Cheaper Home Batteries discount is around 30 percent off an approved battery, with no income test.

02
No rebate on the charger

There is no Victorian rebate on the charger and we do not process one, so it is quoted at one fixed price.

03
Solar Victoria and STCs on panels

For eligible owner-occupiers, the Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan apply to panels and inverters, and STCs come off eligible systems. See our Mount Eliza solar and battery page.

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

Mount Eliza EV charger questions

Call 0466 355 441 for anything not covered here.

Can a charger use the solar I already have?

Usually, yes. The chargers we fit can prefer surplus solar. How well that works depends on your inverter, which we check at the visit. If you are adding a battery, it is worth deciding on the charger at the same time.

Our garage is a long way from the switchboard. Is that a problem?

No, it just means a longer run. The cable is sized for the distance and routed out of sight, and the extra time is in the quote.

How much range per hour of charging?

Single-phase at about 7kW on a 32A circuit adds roughly 40km per hour. Three-phase at 11kW or 22kW is faster if the car can accept it.

Will I need a switchboard upgrade?

It depends on the board and what else the house runs. We check before quoting, and any upgrade is included in the fixed price.

Can the charger go on a carport or driveway?

Yes. Outdoors we choose a position out of the weather where we can, which matters closer to the water.

Is there a rebate for EV chargers in Mount Eliza?

No. EV chargers Mount Eliza owners install carry no Victorian rebate. Solar panels and batteries have their own incentives.
