Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with whether the fault is resolved during a diagnostic visit or requires a full replacement or major switchboard/service work. Standard diagnostic visits with minor parts are typically less expensive than a supply-and-replace package or any work that triggers a separate upgrade. Regional callout fees, local labour rates and after-hours attendance can also affect the final price.

  • Fault type and severity

    Simple electrical faults and minor part replacements are usually quicker to fix than faults that indicate a failed charger or permanent damage.

  • Need for a replacement charger

    If the charger unit must be replaced, the job includes procurement and fitment which increases scope compared with a diagnostic-only visit.

  • Major switchboard or service upgrades

    Work requiring switchboard, service or meter upgrades is excluded from standard diagnostic scope and is quoted separately, increasing complexity.

  • Parts availability and procurement

    Ability to source the correct replacement unit or parts can affect whether a single visit completes the job or a follow-up is needed.

  • Timing and regional callout rates

    Local callout fees, regional labour rates and after-hours attendance typically change the overall cost and scheduling.

Frequently asked questions

How long will a diagnostic visit usually take?
A standard diagnostic visit typically covers on-site troubleshooting and minor parts and is often completed within a single visit. If a replacement unit or major electrical upgrades are required, additional time and follow-up visits are usually needed.
Will I need a new charger or switchboard upgrade?
Minor faults are often fixed with small parts or adjustments, while some failures require a full-unit replacement. Major switchboard or service/meter upgrades are excluded from a standard diagnostic and are usually quoted separately.
Do installers need a licence for EV charger work?
Licensing is mandatory for this type of electrical work, so the installer should hold the required electrical licence. You should confirm the installer’s licence and that they are qualified to work on EV charging equipment.
What should I tell the installer when requesting a quote?
Provide clear symptoms, whether you want the installer to supply a replacement unit, and any known charger make or model, since missing details often lead providers to use a broader default scope. For supply-and-replace requests, it's also useful to confirm whether the installer can source the specific unit before accepting a fixed-price offer.
