EV charging that suits the property
Home and workplace chargers across Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri. We start by checking what the switchboard and supply can safely handle.
What we cover
Load assessment
We check how much electricity the property already uses and how much capacity is available. That tells us which chargers will work without overloading the supply.
Home charger installation
Wall-mounted chargers on a dedicated circuit. We plan a tidy cable route that works with the garage rather than cutting straight across it.
Supply and switchboard upgrades
If the existing board or supply needs upgrading, we include that work in the quote. You will know the full cost before installation starts.
Workplace and fleet charging
Multiple charging bays with load management that shares the available power across the fleet.
Load management and scheduling
Charging can run overnight or adjust around the rest of the site. This keeps everything from drawing at full power at the same time.
Testing and handover
We test and certify the installation, then show you how to use the charger and its controls before we leave.
The property decides which charger will work
The right charger depends on the switchboard, available supply and how the property already uses electricity. We check all three before recommending a unit.
At home, that check can prevent tripping or an unexpected switchboard upgrade. At a workplace, it tells us whether the site needs more capacity or whether load management can share the existing supply across the bays.

Common questions
Can my house take an EV charger?
Most homes can take a charger, but some need a switchboard or supply upgrade first. We check this on site and explain the suitable options and the cost of each one.
Do I need a three-phase supply?
Usually not for a single home charger. Three-phase power may be useful for faster charging or multiple workplace bays. The load assessment tells us whether it is needed.
Can you install a charger I have already bought?
Yes, as long as the unit is approved for use in New Zealand and suits the property. Talk to us before buying if you can. It may save you choosing a charger that the existing supply cannot support.
How long does an installation take?
A straightforward home installation usually takes half a day. Allow a full day if the switchboard needs upgrading as part of the job.
