Home charger installation

Professional wall charger installation in garages, carports and outdoor parking areas.

1 / 3

Canberra homes are all different. So is the right charging installation.

Your EV, daily travel, solar, electrical supply and budget all shape the recommendation. We assess what you already have before recommending anything, then install, test and commission it.

On a single-phase home with a 40 A main switch, a 32 A charger needs load management to stay inside your supply. That is the sort of detail the assessment settles.

Why Capital Charge Co.

A charger is one part of the job. The installation is the rest.

Cable route, circuit protection, switchboard capacity and testing decide whether a charger is safe and reliable in your home. That work is what we do, and we document it.

What you get

  • The right charger

    Your EV, daily travel, solar, electrical supply and budget all shape the recommendation.

  • Safety first

    Appropriate cabling, protection, testing and compliance documentation.

  • Neat workmanship

    Careful cable routes, secure mounting and a clean, helpful handover.

  • Independent advice

    Recommendations based on suitability, compatibility and value.

Solar-compatible charging

Your roof already makes the energy. Certain chargers can use it.

Certain smart chargers can vary their charging rate based on surplus solar generation, which may help you put more of it into the car instead of exporting it. We can assess compatibility and recommend suitable equipment.

Where would
your charger go?

Check the lead reaches, see the space around your car and compare mounting positions. Bring a clearer plan to your installation assessment.

Space remaining: about 0.9 m left, 0.9 m right and 0.9 m at each end, measured to the vehicle body.

This is within 0.25 m of the shortest of the nine example mounting positions.

Comparisons use the same space and vehicle. The shortest route still needs a suitable mounting surface and a clear walking route.

How this estimate works

We compare floor routes around a rectangular vehicle body with 0.1 m of routing space, using a charger cable exit 1.1 m above the floor and an approximate charge port 0.85 m high. Side ports sit 0.4 m from the relevant end; centre ports sit at the front or rear. The nine mounting positions sit 15%, 50% or 85% along each of the three sides. These are modelling assumptions. Port position, mounting height, bends and obstacles at your home may change the reach.

The estimate includes an additional 0.5 m handling reserve. This is a planning allowance, not a manufacturer requirement or a compliance check. The dashed section shows reach missing after that allowance. Use the actual lead length for your charger; 7.3 m is the default from the Australian Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector.

Vehicle profiles use representative published body dimensions for the listed model and year, grouping trims with similar sizes. These give approximate space and cable-route comparisons. For another vehicle, enter its length, body width and charging side.

The car is centred along the bay. Door swing, garage mechanisms, storage, other vehicles, switchboard capacity, the electrical supply route and installation cost are not calculated. Confirm the actual layout and electrical suitability with your installer.

Before you enquire

Questions we get asked. Answered plainly.

How fast can I charge my EV at home?

Charging speed depends on your vehicle, wall charger, electrical supply and installation design. A dedicated wall charger will generally charge considerably faster than a standard power point.

Do I need three-phase power?

Not necessarily. Many Canberra households can comfortably recharge overnight from a properly designed single-phase installation. Three-phase can allow higher rates, but it is not essential for every driver.

Will I need a switchboard upgrade?

Not every installation requires one. We assess your switchboard, circuit protection and available capacity. If work is needed, we explain why and include it clearly in the scope.

Can my charger use excess solar power?

Potentially. Certain smart chargers can vary their charging rate based on surplus solar generation. We can assess compatibility and recommend suitable equipment.

Can you install a charger I already purchased?

Yes, provided it is suitable for use in Australia, compatible with your vehicle and appropriate for the proposed installation.

Do you install chargers in apartments?

We can assess individual and shared-property installations. Apartment projects may require owners-corporation approval, load management or usage metering.
