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.

Had a problem with a leaking toilet. Contacted "your local tradesman", given an arrival time for a plumber to attend & review the problem. Plumber arrived on time this morning at 7.30am, & advised what the problem may be. We decided to replace the toilet system due to its age, he checked suppliers, ordered the new unit and it was installed this afternoon by 3.00pm. I am very impressed with the price, and service. Very Highly recommend this plumbing service.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Allan, for your wonderful feedback! We're glad to hear that our plumber was prompt and provided you with great service. It's fantastic that you were impressed with the price and the quick turnaround for your new toilet installation. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

We have met 5 different tradesmen over the past week, including one on work experience. All were lovely, polite, courteous and worked very efficiently. We had both electrical and plumbing work done including new taps, water filter, new toilet and external electrical socket. It was so easy to organise the work from making the initial call to arranging the subsequent appointments needed. Excellent communication via email and texts. We are now members and will be using Your Local Tradesman in the future. Very pleased and satisfied with the work 😊
Response from the owner:Thank you, Vanessa! We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with our tradesmen and found the process easy and efficient. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we look forward to serving you again in the future!

Hot water switch had melted and it took a couple of days for me to become aware that it was not heating. The fault was obvious. Electrician checked circuits and found no other faults. He advised that the porcelain fuses needed to be replaced due to the age of the board. From about mid afternoon he ordered replacement parts and completed the installation early evening. I was pleased to have hot water that night and pleased to know my electrical system was safer.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alan, for your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear that the issue was resolved quickly and that you now have hot water and a safer electrical system. Your satisfaction is important to us!
