EV CHARGERS · CROYDON

EV Charger Installation in Croydon — done properly, first visit

A home EV charger is the difference between plugging in at night and never thinking about range, versus queuing at a public DC fast charger every week. We install every major AC wall charger — Tesla Wall Connector, Wallbox Pulsar, Ocular, Zappi, Fronius Wattpilot — properly wired from the switchboard on a dedicated RCBO with the right protection, not piggybacked off a general power circuit.

For most Sydney homes a 7kW single-phase install is the sweet spot: it adds around 40km of range per hour, works on standard 240V, and doesn't need a three-phase upgrade. If you have three-phase already, or you drive high daily kilometres, 22kW three-phase gets you a full charge in 3-4 hours. Where a home has solar we can install a diverting charger (Zappi, Fronius Wattpilot) that charges the car only from excess solar — turning free daytime PV into free km.

Every install includes an on-site assessment of your switchboard, the cable run, mounting location and phase capacity. We handle any switchboard upgrade needed, Ausgrid notification for high-demand connections, and load balancing so the charger throttles down instead of tripping the main. Certificate of Compliance is issued on completion — a legal requirement in NSW that DIY installs cannot provide.

HOW THE JOB RUNS

Every ev chargers job, same 4 steps

  1. STEP 1

    On-site assessment

    We check your switchboard capacity, measure the cable run, confirm phase availability and pick the best mounting spot. Fixed quote on the spot.

  2. STEP 2

    Ausgrid & board prep

    We notify Ausgrid where required, upgrade the board if it's full or lacks a spare RCBO, and pull the dedicated cable to the charger.

  3. STEP 3

    Charger install & commissioning

    Charger mounted, wired, load-limited to your supply, connected to Wi-Fi or app if applicable. Solar diversion configured if you have PV.

  4. STEP 4

    Test, certify, walk-through

    Full test to AS/NZS 3000, Certificate of Compliance issued, and we walk you through the app, scheduling and any alerts.

Signs you need ev chargers

When to book a ev chargers sparky

  • You just bought an EV and the granny cable is too slow
  • You want to charge overnight on cheap or solar-diverted power
  • Your existing 15A outlet trips or the plug melts
  • You have solar and want to soak up daytime excess
  • You need multiple chargers with load balancing (townhouse, dual-EV)
  • You're building or renovating and want the cable run pre-installed
  • You need the compliance certificate for lease, novated or FBT records

SYMPTOMS & CAUSES

What we usually see with ev chargers

Symptoms you tell us about
  • 15 A caravan outlet trips or the plug body melts overnight
  • Granny cable adding only 10-12 km of range per hour
  • House breaker trips whenever the car and oven run together
  • Solar exporting to grid while the car sits uncharged
What actually causes it
  • Charger drawing continuous 15 A on a general power circuit
  • No dedicated RCBO circuit from the switchboard
  • Switchboard has no spare pole for a 32 A EVSE circuit
  • No load management or CT clamp installed at the mains

OUR PROCESS

How we handle ev chargers in Croydon

Same repeatable sequence on every job — no shortcuts, no surprises, no invoices you didn't agree to.

  1. 1

    On-site assessment

    We measure the cable run, confirm phase availability and check the switchboard has room for a dedicated 32 A RCBO.

  2. 2

    Ausgrid notification

    For high-demand connections we lodge the paperwork so your local network operator is on record.

  3. 3

    Board prep

    If the board is full we upgrade it or install a sub-board so the EVSE gets its own protection.

  4. 4

    Cable run and mount

    We pull the dedicated cable, mount the charger, and seal all penetrations to weatherproof standard.

  5. 5

    Commission and load-balance

    Charger paired to Wi-Fi or app, load balancing configured against your main supply so it throttles instead of tripping.

  6. 6

    Test and certify

    Full AS/NZS 3000 test, Certificate of Compliance issued, and we walk you through scheduling and solar-only modes.

Typical on-site duration: about 4 hours, depending on access and switchboard condition.

RECENT JOBS

Anonymised examples from around Croydon

Tesla Wall Connector on a single-phase supply

New Tesla owner in Croydon needed a home charger. We ran a dedicated 32 A RCBO circuit from the switchboard, mounted the Wall Connector in the garage and configured load balancing so the main never trips.

4.3 hrs on site7 kW home charging, CCEW issued, ~40 km range per hour.

Solar-diverting Zappi install

Homeowner in Croydon with a 6.6 kW rooftop array wanted to charge only from excess solar. We wired a Zappi charger, added the CT clamp on the mains, and configured Eco+ mode so the car sips only spare PV.

5 hrs on siteFree daytime charging from surplus solar, app-managed schedules.

Sarah M.

Called at 11pm with a tripping switchboard. Electrician arrived within the hour, found the fault and had us back on safely. Honest and professional.

J

James P.

Burning smell from a powerpoint - they took it seriously, came straight out, replaced the circuit and explained everything. Fair fixed price, no upsell.

P

Priya K.

Lost half the house mid-storm. Empire were the only company that actually answered. Quoted upfront, fixed in one visit. Highly recommend.

D

Daniel R.

Safety switch kept tripping for weeks. Other sparkies just reset it. Empire actually found the faulty appliance and the dodgy wiring behind it.

M

Megan T.

Burst pipe took out our power. Empire arrived super fast, made it safe and stayed until everything was running again. Lifesavers.

C

Chris H.

Old switchboard was sparking. They replaced it the same day, all licensed and certified. Cleanest install I've seen.

O

Olivia W.

Power out the entire upstairs at 9pm with a newborn at home. Empire answered, dispatched and fixed it within two hours. So grateful.

M

Mark D.

Got three quotes for a switchboard upgrade. Empire weren't the cheapest but they were the clearest. Best decision - immaculate workmanship.

J

Jess L.

Storm tripped half the unit block. Empire turned up Sunday morning, no extra weekend gouge. Just sorted it. Strata are using them from now on.

T

Tony B.

Called five sparkies before Empire actually picked up. They explained the issue in plain English and gave a fixed price before touching anything.
