Our pricing is designed to be easy to understand. Installation labour is a flat $875 incl. GST for cable runs up to 10 metres from your switchboard. The EV charger unit is priced separately — we can source and install one for you, or fit a charger you have already bought.
No estimates, no hidden charges. Every quote arrives in writing, fully itemised, and locked in before a single tool comes out. What you are quoted is what you are invoiced.
In New Zealand, installing a home EV charger typically costs between $1,500 and $3,500 all-up — the charger unit plus an electrician’s installation labour. In Christchurch, our installation labour is a flat $875 incl. GST for cable runs up to 10 metres, and a complete supplied-and-installed package starts from $1,674 incl. GST including a smart 7.4kW charger and Certificate of Compliance. That sits well below the $2,000–$3,000 many general electricians quote for the same work.

Every quote we issue is written, itemised and fixed — you will never get a different number on the invoice. Get your free fixed quote from photos in a couple of minutes via our contact page, or read how a home EV charger installation works from start to finish.
Both paths deliver the same professional installation, dedicated circuit, and Certificate of Compliance. The only variable is who provides the charger hardware.
We recommend and source the right charger for your vehicle and home, then install it. Everything managed under a single booking — one contact, one invoice.
Already have a charger, or found one at a better price elsewhere? We'll install it to a professional standard with a full dedicated circuit and Certificate of Compliance.
If you are providing your own charger, please send through the make and model before booking so we can confirm it is compatible with your home's wiring and satisfies the requirements for a NZ Certificate of Compliance. Certain imported or uncertified units cannot be legally installed under NZ rules — we will flag this before you commit to anything.
All of the following is covered on every job — whether we supply the charger or you provide your own. This is the complete installation scope, not a minimum call-out rate.
| What's included | Option A We supply charger |
Option B You supply charger |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated 32A circuit — new MCB fitted in your consumer unit, correctly rated cable for the load | ||
| All cabling & conduit — routed from switchboard to charger position, up to 10 metres | ||
| Charger wall mounting — fixed securely at the correct height, weatherproofed where the location demands it | ||
| Internal wiring & terminations — all connections completed to manufacturer specification | ||
| CT clamp installation — fitted where your charger includes Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) | ||
| WiFi connection & app setup — charger registered on your network, app configured on your phone, off-peak schedule activated | ||
| Live test with your EV — a complete charge session run to verify everything is operating as expected | ||
| Certificate of Compliance (CoC) — issued on completion as required under NZ electrical regulations | ||
| EV charger unit | You provide | |
| Manufacturer warranty support | Handled directly with manufacturer |
The $875 incl. GST installation rate applies to the standard scenario — a charger mounted in a garage or carport with a cable route of 10 metres or less from the switchboard. A handful of circumstances can increase that figure. We identify all of them during the assessment and include them in the quote before you agree to anything.
Day-of surprises do not happen on our jobs. If an unexpected scope change arises once we have started, we stop, explain it, and get your go-ahead before continuing.
