EV Charging Services

In NSW, EV charger installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician — not just anyone with a power point. PrimeTime Electrical installs home and commercial EV chargers across Sydney, handling the full electrical scope: switchboard assessment, dedicated circuit, load balancing, and a Certificate of Compliance on completion.

Home EV Charger Installation

Level 2 wall-mounted charger installation for houses and townhouses — dedicated circuit from your switchboard, weatherproof outdoor mounting, RCD protection, and CCEW.

Commercial EV Charging

Multi-bay EV charging installations for offices, retail carparks, and hospitality venues. Load management, smart charging integration, and compliance for all configurations.

Apartments & Strata

EV charger installation for apartment buildings and strata properties — we work with strata managers and bodies corporate on approval, load balancing, and cost allocation.

Switchboard Upgrades for EV

Older switchboards often lack the spare capacity for a 7–22 kW charger. We assess and upgrade your board first to ensure safe, compliant operation.

Solar EV Charging

EV charger installation that integrates with your existing solar system — charge from your own rooftop panels and maximise the return on both investments.

EV Charger Repairs

Fault diagnosis and repair for EV charging installations — tripped circuits, connection issues, and software faults. All brands serviced.

Level 1 vs Level 2 Chargers

Most Sydney homeowners benefit most from a Level 2 charger. Here's how they compare:

Level 1 — Standard Power Point

  • 1.4–2.4 kW charging speed
  • Adds ~10–15 km range per hour
  • No dedicated circuit needed
  • Practical only for low-mileage drivers
  • Not suitable for daily EV commuters

Level 2 — Dedicated Wall Charger

  • 7–22 kW charging speed
  • Adds 40–120 km range per hour
  • Fully charges most EVs overnight
  • Requires dedicated licensed installation
  • Recommended for all regular EV drivers

Our EV Charger Installation Process

1
Site Assessment & Switchboard Check

We assess your switchboard capacity, available circuits, and the best location for the charger before any work starts.

2
Switchboard Upgrade (if needed)

If your board lacks capacity, we upgrade it first. Most older Sydney homes require this step before a Level 2 charger can be safely installed.

3
Dedicated Circuit Installation

A dedicated 32A circuit is run from your switchboard to the charger location — correctly sized for your charger's output.

4
Charger Mounting & Connection

The wall unit is mounted, wired, and tested. We position it for convenient cable reach to your vehicle's charge port.

5
RCD Protection & Safety Check

RCD protection is installed and all connections are tested before the charger goes live.

6
Test Charge & Certificate of Compliance

We verify the charger is delivering the correct output, then issue your CCEW — required for insurance and warranty registration.

EV Charger Installation FAQs

Do I need a licensed electrician to install an EV charger?

Yes. In NSW, EV charger installation requires a licensed electrician. This includes the dedicated circuit, any switchboard work, and the charger connection itself. It is illegal for anyone without a valid licence to perform this work.

Which EV charger brands do you install?

We install all major brands including Tesla Wall Connector, Wallbox, EVSE, Zappi, and others. We can advise on the best option for your vehicle, your solar setup, and your usage patterns.

Will I need a switchboard upgrade?

Many older Sydney homes need a switchboard upgrade before a Level 2 charger can be installed safely. We assess your board during the site visit and advise you upfront if an upgrade is needed and what it will cost.

How long does installation take?

A standard EV charger installation takes 2–4 hours. If a switchboard upgrade is also required, allow a full day. We'll give you a clear timeframe with your quote.

Can I install an EV charger in an apartment?

Yes, though strata approval is usually required first. We work with strata managers and bodies corporate to navigate the approval process and design installations that satisfy building management requirements.

Do I receive a certificate when the work is done?

Yes. Every EV charger installation includes a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) — required for insurance purposes and often for charger warranty registration with the manufacturer.
