EV Charger Installation Pricing in Christchurch

Our pricing is designed to be easy to understand. Installation labour is a flat $950 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.

  • Installation labour: $950 incl. GST (cable run ≤10m)
  • We source the charger, or fit the one you already have
  • Certificate of Compliance issued on every completed job
  • Written fixed-price quote — no unexpected charges on the day

The $950 incl. GST installation rate covers cable runs up to 10 metres from your switchboard. Longer runs receive a separate line item in your quote — still very competitively priced.

Select the Approach That Suits You

Both paths deliver the same professional installation, dedicated circuit, and Certificate of Compliance. The only variable is who provides the charger hardware.

Get a Quote — I Already Have a Charger

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.

What the $950 incl. GST Installation Price Includes

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

Dedicated 32A circuit — new MCB fitted in your consumer unit, correctly rated cable for the load

Manufacturer warranty support Handled directly with manufacturer

What Situations Add to the Base Price?

The $950 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.

Extended cable run (over 10 metres) Every additional metre of cable beyond 10m contributes to both material and labour cost. Priced per job based on your cable route photos.
POA+ GST
Switchboard upgrade Only necessary if your board is outdated, fully occupied, or rated below what a 7kW charger requires. The majority of homes built after 1995 need no upgrade. Assessed from photos — included in the quote if required.
POA+ GST
Concrete core drilling Required when the cable route passes through a concrete wall or floor slab. Typical on block-construction garages.
POA+ GST
External weatherproof outlet Where the charger sits on an exposed exterior wall, supplementary weatherproofing or a protective canopy may be required to meet installation standards.
POA+ GST
Saturday / weekend installation Weekend bookings are available. No additional surcharge is applied for standard Saturday installations.
No extracharge
POA = priced on assessment. Any costs beyond the base rate are identified from your photos and itemised in your written quote before work begins. Nothing extra is charged on the day without your prior approval.

Frequently Asked Pricing Questions

Yes — for a standard job where the cable run from your switchboard is 10 metres or less. The $950 incl. GST price covers everything in the installation scope: dedicated circuit, all cabling and conduit, charger mounting, internal wiring, CT clamp where DLB is required, WiFi and app configuration, a live charge test with your vehicle, and the Certificate of Compliance. Where your specific job requires extras — a longer cable run, switchboard upgrade, or concrete core drilling — those items are identified during the assessment and included in your written quote before anything is agreed.

Yes. If you have already purchased a charger — or can source one at a lower price elsewhere — we will install it at the standard $950 incl. GST labour rate for cable runs up to 10m. Prior to booking, please provide the charger's make and model so we can confirm it is compatible with your home's electrical supply and satisfies NZ certification requirements. Certain imported or non-compliant units cannot legally be installed, and we want to identify that before you have committed to anything.

Yes — the $950 installation price already includes GST. Nothing is added on top. Every written quote we issue displays the GST-inclusive total prominently, so there is no ambiguity about what you will be invoiced. No additional taxes or levies apply.

We measure the actual cable route rather than the straight-line distance between two points. Cable typically follows walls, runs through ceiling cavities, and drops down to the charger position, so the real route is almost always longer than the direct measurement. We estimate the run length from your photos — if the distance looks borderline, we will ask you to clarify before the quote is issued. Where the run exceeds 10 metres, the additional cable and labour is shown as a separate line in your quote. The rate remains competitive.

Switchboard upgrades are assessed individually and vary based on your existing board type and the work involved. Typical residential upgrades fall in the $800 to $2,500 + GST range depending on complexity. We evaluate your switchboard from the photos submitted during quoting — if an upgrade is required, we will explain why, and the full itemised cost is included in your written quote before you are asked to commit. The majority of Christchurch homes fitted with a modern consumer unit do not need an upgrade, particularly when a DLB-equipped charger is selected.

No. Our remote photo-based assessment and written quote carry no charge and no obligation. We do not apply a call-out fee or consultation cost. You receive a detailed, itemised quote and are under no pressure to proceed. If you choose to go ahead, we find a date that suits you and lock in the booking.
