EV Chargers FAQs
Common questions about ev charger installation in Carnegie
What type of EV charger should I get in Carnegie?
For most homes, a 7kW single-phase charger is ideal — it fully charges most EVs overnight. We assess your electrical capacity and recommend the best option for your situation.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade for an EV charger?
Many older homes need a switchboard upgrade to support EV charging. We assess your switchboard capacity and include any required upgrades in our quote.
How long does EV charger installation take in Carnegie?
A straightforward EV charger installation typically takes 3-4 hours. If switchboard upgrades are needed, it may take a full day.
Can I charge my EV from a regular power point?
You can use a standard power point with the portable charger that comes with most EVs, but it's very slow (typically 10-15km of range per hour). A dedicated EV charger provides 40-50km per hour.
