Brisbane EV Charger Installation - Safe, Compliant & Built Around Your Home
Licensed Queensland electricians | QLD electrical safety + Energex/QECM compliant | No over-selling
Choosing an EV charger is more complicated than it looks
Not every EV needs the fastest or most expensive charger – and getting the choice wrong can cost real money. The right home setup depends on your car, your switchboard, your solar, your tariff and how you actually drive.
Sometimes the right answer is a simpler, cheaper setup. If it is, we will tell you. If a bigger setup genuinely makes sense because a second EV is coming, solar is planned or future-proofing is needed, we will explain why in plain English.
No over-selling. No guesswork. Just a clear, honest recommendation before you commit to anything.
Whatever you drive, we match the charger to it
Whatever you drive – BYD, Tesla, MG, Mitsubishi PHEV, Kia, Hyundai, Polestar or another EV – we factor your exact vehicle, or the one on order, into the recommendation so you get the charger that suits your car, your home and your lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special charger to charge my EV at home?
Not always – the right charger depends on your car, your home and how you drive. Many EVs can use a standard 7kW home wall charger on single-phase power, and many households do not need anything faster. The portable charger that comes with the car works for occasional top-ups, but it is usually too slow for everyday charging. A short site assessment is the only way to know what suits your specific setup.
Is my switchboard ready for an EV charger?
Maybe – it depends on your home’s age and existing electrical setup, which is why it should be checked first. An EV charger draws a heavy, sustained load, and older Brisbane homes with full switchboards, ceramic fuses or limited safety switches may need work before one can be installed safely. For many dedicated EV chargers above 20A, Queensland network requirements also mean a managed connection arrangement may be needed. It is not a reason to worry; it is a reason to check before you buy a charger rather than after.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Brisbane?
EV charger installation cost in Brisbane varies based on your charger, your switchboard, network connection requirements and how far the cabling needs to run – which is why we quote after a free site assessment rather than guessing up front. A simple install on a ready switchboard costs less than one that needs a board upgrade, managed connection arrangement or a long cable run. Our free assessment gives you a clear, honest price for your home with no obligation.
Can you install any brand of EV charger?
Yes, we can install EV chargers for all vehicle brands, including BYD, Tesla, Kia, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, MG and more. If you have already bought a charger, we can inspect it and confirm whether it is suitable, compliant and safe for your home before installation. If you have not bought one yet, even better – hold off until the site assessment and we will recommend the right one for your car, home and budget.
Will my EV charger work with my solar?
It can, if the charger and setup are chosen with your solar in mind. A solar-aware charger can send excess solar straight into the car, but whether that is worth it depends on when the car is home, how much excess solar you generate and your tariff setup. We will do the maths with you at the assessment.
What happens at the free EV charger site assessment?
A licensed local electrician visits once, checks your switchboard, power supply and charger location, asks about your car, driving and solar, then gives you a clear recommendation and honest pricing in plain English. There is no obligation and no pressure. If a simpler setup will do, we will tell you.
