Strathfield, Burwood, and Concord post-war brick veneers face their own electrical challenges — three-phase legacy supply, oversized backyards with detached structures (granny flats, sheds, studios), and original aluminium wiring developing oxide-related hotspots.

About EV Charging Station Installation Sydney

Charging an electric vehicle from a standard 10 A power point works, but at roughly 1.8 kW it adds about 10 km of range per hour — fine for a short commute, painful for anything else. A dedicated 7 kW single-phase wallbox roughly quadruples that. A 22 kW three-phase unit (where supply allows) takes you to nearly 100 km of range per hour. The right charger for your home depends on your vehicle, your driving pattern, and what your switchboard and consumer mains can support.

Sydney Electrical Service installs EV charging stations across every metropolitan suburb. We're a licensed Level 2 ASP, which means we handle the supply-side, switchboard capacity assessment, and grid-connection coordination in-house — saving the multi-trade coordination most homeowners hit when retrofitting a charger into a home that wasn't designed for it. Call 0433 462 902 for a fixed-price quote, or book online.

Electrical work in Rhodes

Aluminium busbars from 1970s additions are a consistent contributor to Inner West switchboard issues — the metal's oxide layer creates a slowly-worsening hotspot that eventually requires full bus replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a 22 kW charger or is 7 kW enough?

For most residential users charging overnight, 7 kW is more than enough — 8 hours of overnight charging adds ~330 km of range. 22 kW makes sense for two-EV households, fleet vehicles, or homes with very short charging windows.

Can I just charge from a normal power point?

Yes — at 1.8 kW for around 10 km of range per hour. Fine if your daily commute is short. Slow if you regularly do longer trips. There are also safety considerations for sustained 10 A loads on aged outlets.

Do I need three-phase supply?

For 11 kW or 22 kW chargers, yes. Most older Sydney homes are single-phase. Three-phase upgrade is possible but typically expensive — it's usually more economical to install a 7 kW single-phase charger unless three-phase is already present.

Will my switchboard support an EV charger?

We do a maximum-demand calculation as part of the quote. Most modern switchboards have headroom; many older boards (pre-2000) need upgrade or capacity uplift before a charger can be safely added.

Do I need network approval?

For most 7 kW single-phase residential installs, simple notification is sufficient. For 22 kW, three-phase, and strata installs, formal network approval is required and we lodge it for you.
