EV chargers Somerville VIC 3912

EV chargers Somerville homes can run on their own roof

Town blocks and acreage, single-phase and three-phase, garages, sheds and carports. We fit Tesla, Sigenergy and GoodWe chargers on their own protected circuit and set them to charge from your solar, from our depot right here in Speedwell Street.

EV charging in Somerville

Three-phase, sheds and long runs

Somerville is home for us. The depot is in Speedwell Street, and the jobs around town are some of the quickest we do. EV charging here splits two ways. In the streets near the township it looks like most suburbs: a garage, a switchboard nearby and a short run. Out on the acreage the car might live in a shed or a carport a long way from the house, and the supply is often three-phase.

Three-phase is what makes Somerville interesting. It opens up 11kW, or up to 22kW where the car can take it, against about 7kW on a single-phase 32A circuit, which adds roughly 40km of range per hour. On a property with a big array and a battery, a fast charger can take a large share of its energy from the roof. The Somerville job on this page pairs a three-phase Sigen system and 45kWh of storage with a Sigen EV charger.

Long runs to a shed need the cable sized for the distance and protected along the way, and the switchboard has to carry the charger alongside pumps, workshops and whatever else is on the property. We check all of that before quoting, as we do for the rest of our work in Somerville.

What we fit in Somerville

Matched to the property, not just the car

Three charger brands and the groundwork that matters on a Somerville block. EV chargers Somerville owners get from us always run on their own dedicated, protected circuit.

01

Sigenergy for big systems

The Sigen EV AC charger goes up to 22kW on three-phase. On a property running a Sigenergy home energy system it works with the inverter and battery so surplus solar goes to the car, and the SigenStor EV DC module is an option inside that system.

  • Up to 22kW three-phase
  • Works with SigenStor
  • DC module option
02

GoodWe HCA

Choose 7kW for a single-phase town home, or 11kW or 22kW where the supply is three-phase. Pairs well with a GoodWe inverter and battery.

  • 7kW, 11kW or 22kW
  • GoodWe system pairing
  • Scheduled charging
03

Tesla Wall Connector

Up to 7kW on single-phase and 11kW on three-phase. Neat on a garage or shed wall, with its own app for scheduling.

  • 7kW or 11kW
  • App scheduling
  • Garage or shed wall
04

Runs to sheds and carports

When the car lives away from the house, we size the cable for the distance, protect it properly along the route and check the board can carry the charger with everything else the property runs.

  • Cable sized for distance
  • Protected route
  • Board checked first

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

Somerville EV charger questions

Call 0466 355 441, we are just down the road.

Can I get 22kW charging in Somerville?

If the property has three-phase supply and your car accepts 22kW, yes. Many acreage properties here have three-phase. We confirm it at the visit.

The car lives in a shed away from the house. Can you run power to it?

Yes. We size the cable for the distance, protect it along the route and check the board can carry it alongside everything else on the property.

What does single-phase give me?

About 7kW on a 32A circuit, roughly 40km of range per hour. For most daily driving that is plenty overnight.

Can the charger use my battery and solar?

Chargers can prefer surplus solar and schedule to off-peak windows. With a Sigenergy system, the SigenStor EV DC module can also work inside that system.

Is there a rebate on EV chargers Somerville homes install?

No. There is no Victorian rebate on home EV chargers, and we do not process one. Solar and batteries keep their own incentives.

How quickly can you get here?

We are based in Somerville, so a site visit is easy to fit in. A standard install is typically about half a day.
