Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with the electrical supply type and how much switchboard or cabling work is needed. Standard single‑phase installs with short cable runs are typically less complex, while three‑phase requirements, long routing, strata or commercial site constraints, and after‑hours attendance usually increase the overall scope and time required.

  • Supply type required

    Single‑phase installations are generally simpler than three‑phase work, which often needs heavier cabling and 3‑pole breakers.

  • Switchboard upgrade complexity

    Adding breakers, relocating consumer units or performing major switchboard work increases labour and may require additional testing.

  • Cable run length and routing

    Long runs, difficult routing or work through walls and ceilings typically take more time and materials.

  • Permits, approvals and site access

    Apartment, commercial or strata sites often need approvals, fire‑sealing or coordination that add administrative steps and time.

  • Whether homeowner supplies materials

    If you supply parts, installers will usually adjust their materials component, while installer‑supplied compliant parts are commonly included in standard quotes.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licensed installer?
Electrical installations for EV outlets should generally be carried out by a licensed electrician who holds the appropriate licence. A licensed electrician will usually handle required testing and provide any necessary compliance paperwork.
How long does installation usually take?
Most straightforward single‑phase installs are typically completed within a few hours. If the job requires switchboard upgrades, long cable runs or site permits, the work can take significantly longer depending on complexity.
Will I need permits or approvals?
Permits and approvals are usually not needed for simple residential installs, but apartment, commercial or network‑level work often requires additional permits or strata coordination. Installers will typically identify these requirements during their assessment.
Can I supply my own outlet or charger?
You can usually supply equipment, but installers will typically confirm compatibility and may adjust their materials component accordingly. It’s helpful to advise providers of the exact make and model so they can plan the install and any required parts or testing.
