Charger unit cost is additional. We'll give you an exact quote before any work starts.
Charger unit prices only. All prices include GST. We can supply and install any of these units, or install a charger you've already purchased.
Most installations fall within the price ranges above. A few things can push costs higher:
Long cable runs — if the switchboard is at the front of the house and the garage is at the back, the cable run may be 30m+. More cable = more cost.
Switchboard upgrade — old fuse boards or full switchboards need upgrading before a new circuit can be added. This adds $1,500–$2,000 but is money well spent.
Trenching — if the cable needs to go underground to reach a detached garage, trenching is required. We'll quote this separately.
Three-phase charger — if you want a 22 kW three-phase charger, this needs three-phase power at your property and more complex wiring. We can advise.
Most modern switchboards can handle a 7.4 kW EV charger without any trouble — you just need a spare circuit. Older fuse boards (pre-RCD) often need upgrading, and we'll tell you upfront if that's the case. Adding a 32A circuit for a Type 2 charger is straightforward electrical work for a registered electrician.
With a 7.4 kW home charger and standard Canterbury electricity rates (approx. $0.30/kWh):
Nissan Leaf (40 kWh):
~$12 for a full charge
Tesla Model 3 (60 kWh):
~$18 for a full charge
BYD Atto 3 (60 kWh):
~$18 for a full charge
Compare to $80–$100+ to fill a petrol tank. The charger pays for itself fast.
