Tesla Wall Connector and Sigenergy chargers installed by A-Grade electricians across Melbourne. Switchboard checked before we quote, solar charging set up before we leave, Certificate of Electrical Safety on every job.
An EV charger is the biggest single load most homes will ever add, and it runs for hours at a time. That makes it licensed electrical work, not a DIY plug-in, and it makes the switchboard check the most important ten minutes of the job. Get the circuit, the load management and the solar integration right and the car charges from your roof for next to nothing. Get it wrong and you trip the mains every evening.
Powerband installs Tesla Wall Connectors and Sigenergy AC and DC chargers across Melbourne, for homes, workplaces and apartment buildings. If you already have solar and a battery we integrate the charger with it; if you are taking the whole house off gas, the charger is designed in from the start.
The right one depends on your car, your supply and whether you have or are planning solar. We will tell you which, and why.
Built to work with a Sigenergy solar and battery system. AI mode charges on surplus solar first, then on cheap tariff windows, and stops when grid prices spike. Up to 22kW on three phase for fast top-ups when you need them.
DC charging from the home battery stack. 25kW charging (around 150km of range in an hour) and bi-directional, so a compatible EV can power the house or export to the grid. The most future-proof option if you are building a full Sigenergy system.
The natural pick if you have or are planning a GoodWe inverter or ESA battery. PV priority mode charges the car from your solar first, then battery, then grid. IP66 rated, so it can go on an outside wall or a pole in the driveway, and charging is tracked in the same SEMS app as your solar.
The default home charger for a lot of Melbourne driveways, and not just for Teslas. Up to 11kW on three phase (around 75km of range per hour into a Tesla), 7kW on single phase. Power management adapts to your switchboard, scheduling and data through the Tesla app.
Manufacturer warranties apply to every unit, with terms varying by brand and model. Ask us for the warranty details on the systems in your quote.
Four steps, usually done in half a day. The first one is the one that matters.
We look at your supply (single or three phase), the switchboard capacity and where the car actually parks. This decides the charger, the cable run and whether any upgrade is needed.
An EV charger gets its own protected circuit from the switchboard, sized for continuous load. Never a shared power point.
Wall-mounted where the cable reaches the port comfortably, connected to Wi-Fi, solar integration and scheduling set up on your phone before we leave.
Every install is signed off with a CES by our A-Grade electrician. You get the paperwork, not just the charger.
The charger is a one-off cost. What it costs to fill the car every week depends on how it is set up.
A solar-aware charger fills the car with power you would otherwise export for a few cents. On a decent system, most of your driving is free.
Where solar is not enough, scheduling shifts charging to the cheapest tariff window overnight. Set once in the app.
No home charger rebate exists in Victoria right now, but the solar and battery you pair it with attract Solar Victoria and federal incentives, applied on the quote.
Plenty of people will screw a charger to a wall. The switchboard, the solar integration and the paperwork are the job.
REC 32300, BPC registered (132072), ARC licensed (AU 065299), SAA accredited. EV chargers are a high-load circuit and this is licensed electrical work, so we treat it that way.
Whether it is a Sigen charger or a Tesla Wall Connector, we set it up to charge on surplus solar first. A charger that only pulls from the grid at night is leaving money on the roof.
We tell you at the inspection whether your board can take it, and include any upgrade in the fixed price. No surprises on the day.
Single driveways, fleet depots, apartment car parks with load management and per-bay metering. We prepare the technical submission for owners corporations.
Live Google reviews. Many of the whole-home jobs include the charger.
Anything else, call 0466 355 441. You will get an electrician, not a salesperson.
No. Most Melbourne homes are single phase, and a 32A single-phase circuit delivers around 7kW, which replenishes a normal day's driving overnight. Three phase allows 11kW (Tesla Wall Connector) or up to 22kW (Sigen) for faster charging.
Roughly 40km per hour on a 7kW single-phase charger, up to 75km on an 11kW Tesla Wall Connector into a Tesla, and around 150km on the 25kW Sigen DC module. It depends on the car as well as the charger.
Yes, with a solar-aware charger and correct commissioning. Sigen chargers do it natively within a Sigenergy system. The Tesla Wall Connector is scheduled to your solar production window through the Tesla app, and a Tesla can be set to charge on excess solar directly. We set it up on the day.
It depends on the charger, the distance from the switchboard to the parking spot, and whether the board needs work. We give a fixed price after the site inspection, charger and install together.
Yes. Shared-supply properties need load management so the building's capacity is not exceeded, per-bay metering if usage is billed individually, and owners corporation approval. We prepare the technical submission and handle the install.
Yes. Workplace, fleet and customer charging across Melbourne, including load management across multiple bays and integration with commercial solar.
Not currently for home chargers. Where a charger is installed alongside a solar and battery system, the solar and battery attract Solar Victoria and federal incentives, and we apply those on the quote.
All of Melbourne, from the inner suburbs to the Mornington Peninsula. We are based in Somerville. See the locations page or call and we will confirm.
We will tell you exactly what your home needs: charger, circuit, any switchboard work and how it ties into your solar. Fixed price, no obligation.
