EV Charger Installation in Adelaide

Just picked up an electric car? The first thing most people realise is that plugging into a standard powerpoint isn't really a long-term solution. It works, but it's slow. A dedicated home charger changes the whole experience. 

Your Local Tradesman installs home EV chargers across Adelaide, with same-day service and no surprises on price.

Why a dedicated home charger beats a standard power outlet

A standard 10-amp powerpoint will charge your EV, but you're looking at 8 to 12 hours for a full charge, sometimes more. A dedicated Level 2 home charger cuts that down to 3 to 6 hours, depending on your vehicle. 

Standard powerpoints also aren't built for the sustained load of overnight EV charging. A dedicated charger is weatherproof, purpose-built, and many come with smart features like scheduling, energy monitoring, and app control. It's a better setup in every way, and it adds value to your property too.

How we install your home EV charger

We have a safe & solid approach to installing EV charger's to homes - understanding that each house is built differently and taking the safest approach for install, no matter the home.

Our process includes:

  • Check your switchboard capacity and work out the best cable run to your garage or driveway
  • Confirm your selected charger is on the South Australian Technical Regulator's approved compliance list
  • Handle the mandatory SA Power Networks (SAPN) portal application on your behalf
  • Mount the unit securely, wire it up, and test it
  • Complete all work to Australian standards
  • Hand over your compliance documentation on the day

Does your switchboard need upgrading first?

Possibly. A Level 2 charger draws significantly more power than a standard outlet, and older switchboards don't always have the capacity. We check this during our initial visit and let you know upfront if a switchboard upgrade is needed.

Some of our frequently asked questions

We understand that EV chargers are a relatively evolving space - and finding the best electrician to install them can come with a lot of questions. Our team of qualified professionals are here to make the process simple and stress-free, providing clear communication, and quality workmanship every step of the way. To help you get started, here are some common questions.


What type of EV charger do I need for my home?

Most homeowners go with a Level 2 AC wall charger (7kW) on a dedicated 240V circuit. In South Australia, all new installations must be smart-regulation-compliant by law. We'll help you choose an approved model that suits your car and handle the paperwork from there.

How much does home EV charger installation cost in Adelaide?

It depends on the charger, your switchboard capacity, and the cable run to your garage or driveway. You'll always get a fixed upfront quote before we start. Contact our team for a fast assessment.

How long does it take to charge an EV at home?

On a standard powerpoint, expect 8 to 12 hours or more. With a dedicated Level 2 home charger, most EVs are fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. It becomes as routine as charging your phone overnight.

Will my switchboard need upgrading?

Not always, but it's worth checking. Older switchboards sometimes can't handle the additional load of a Level 2 charger. We assess this as part of every installation quote, so you know what's involved before any work starts.

Can you repair my existing home EV charger?

Yes. If your charger is faulting, not communicating with your vehicle, or simply not working, our electricians can diagnose and repair it. We work across all major home charger brands.
