We Size Your Switchboard Correctly for Overnight EV Charging
If your switchboard needs a closer look before a 7kW charger goes in, that is simply because a charger draws continuous current for five or more hours overnight, unlike a kettle or an air conditioner. It is a well understood requirement, and sizing the switchboard and circuit for that specific load is a routine part of the install, not a sign of a bigger problem.
We carry out a full load assessment for Melbourne City homes before anything is specified. The switchboard upgrade and EV charger circuit are then sized and quoted correctly, with a fixed price agreed before work starts.
Our licensed, Clean Energy Council accredited electricians carry out the installation, with a compliance certificate and workmanship warranty on completion.
We cover all suburbs in Melbourne City. Find your suburb here.
Switchboard Upgrade Process
A switchboard upgrade for EV charging is not the same as a general panel upgrade. The circuit needs to be sized for overnight charging loads, and the compliance certificate needs to reflect work done specifically for EV infrastructure.
We talk you through exactly what the upgrade involves in plain terms, so you know what to expect before any work begins.

0465 542 042Assessing Your Switchboard
We assess your switchboard’s age, condition, and capacity against the load an EV charger will add.
We use this to work out the safest and most straightforward path forward for your home.
Switchboard Design and Specs
We work out the full upgrade scope, covering what needs replacing or adding, how the new EV circuit will be sized, and what protection devices are required.
We confirm all of this before any work is booked.
Installed and Signed Off
We carry out the switchboard upgrade and new EV charger circuit installation to the agreed specification, then test and certify the completed work.
We make sure the compliance certificate is in your hands before we go.
Warranty, Servicing and Repairs
We warranty our workmanship and take callouts for fault-finding and repairs on the switchboard upgrade and circuits we installed.
We sort it out if an issue comes up down the track.
