About Christchurch EV Chargers – Your Local Residential EV Charging Specialists

We're a Christchurch-based team of EWRB-registered electricians who have built our business around one thing: making fast, safe, legally-compliant home EV charging accessible to every Christchurch homeowner — at a price that's genuinely competitive.

We operate as the residential EV charging division of an established Canterbury electrical business with 20+ years of residential electrical experience. As EV adoption accelerated in Christchurch, we recognised a gap: homeowners were being let down by expensive general electrician quotes, unlicensed installers, and chargers fitted without Certificates of Compliance. We set out to do better — and the response has been overwhelming.

How Christchurch EV Chargers Was Born

Our founders have been working in Christchurch residential electrical installation for over two decades — through the post-earthquake rebuild, the heat pump boom, and the shift to all-electric homes. When Christchurch's EV adoption began accelerating in 2021–2022, we started seeing the same problems repeatedly: homeowners paying $3,000–$4,000 for simple installations, being told they needed expensive switchboard upgrades that weren't actually necessary, and occasionally discovering their charger had been installed without a Certificate of Compliance.

We also noticed that every general electrician approach to EV chargers was slightly different — inconsistent quality, inconsistent advice, inconsistent pricing. There was no specialist. There was no one who just did EV chargers, every day, in every type of Christchurch home, with the accumulated knowledge of hundreds of installations.

So we created one. Christchurch EV Chargers was established as a dedicated residential EV charging installation service — EWRB-registered, fully compliant, highly competitive on pricing, and built on the principle that honest advice and quality workmanship should be the standard, not the exception.

Fully Licensed, Registered & Insured — Every Time

Before you hire any electrician to install an EV charger in your Christchurch home, ask for their EWRB registration number and confirm it on the EWRB public register. An unlicensed installation doesn't get a Certificate of Compliance — meaning your home insurance may be invalid, and you may need to disclose it on sale.

Here's how to verify our credentials — we're happy to provide all of these details on request:

• EWRB-registered electricians — verifiable at ewrb.govt.nz. We'll share our registration numbers on request.
• Licensed Electrical Inspector — authorised to issue Certificates of Compliance for new electrical installations.
• AS/NZS 3000 compliant — every installation follows the NZ wiring rules standard. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
• Fully insured — public liability insurance and professional indemnity in force. We carry current policy documentation.
• Physical premises — 78 Treffers Road, Christchurch 8042. A real, local business, not a website-only operation.
• GST-registered — all invoices include GST breakdowns. We provide GST receipts for every job.
