Why Your Home Needs an EV Charger
Still relying on public charging stations to charge your electric vehicle? You miss out on the freedom and convenience that a home EV charger offers. Installing your charger lets you plug in when you get home and start each day with a full battery. You stop planning your schedule around public charging stops.
Home Level 2 chargers deliver power 5 to 7 times faster than a regular wall outlet. They charge your car in hours, not days. A standard Level 1 socket adds only 10 to 15km of range per hour, while a proper EV charger adds 40 to 80km in the same time.
Types of EV Chargers for Your Property
Not sure which charger is right for you? Here’s the simple breakdown:
- Level 1 Chargers: Your basic option that plugs into regular wall outlets. They’re slow (10-15km per hour) but require zero special setup. Perfect for hybrid cars or if you don’t drive much.
- Level 2 Chargers: The sweet spot for most Australian homes! These add 40-80km of range per hour-charge while you sleep and wake up ready to go. They need professional installation, but the time saved is worth it.
- DC Fast Chargers: The speed demons of the charging world. Great for businesses and public spots, but overkill (and too expensive) for most homes.
Want a future-proof setup? Look for OCPP-compliant chargers that work with smart home systems and can tap into off-peak power rates to save you money!

DIY vs. Professional EV Charger Installation
Some people wonder if they can install an EV charger themselves. Here’s why professional installation matters:
| DIY Approach | Professional Installation |
| It voids the warranty | Maintains full warranty protection |
| May not meet electrical codes | Guaranteed to meet AS/NZS 3000 Standards |
| Risk of electrical fire | Properly rated safety equipment is installed |
| No certification | Fully certified and documented |
| Insurance may not cover problems | Fully insured work |
Australian law requires a licensed electrician to install EV chargers. DIY installation puts your home, vehicle, and insurance at risk.
