Leave home
full every
morning.
Public fast charging is typically far more expensive per kilometre than charging at home. A properly installed wallbox — matched to your solar and your tariff — lets you charge on your own surplus or off-peak rates.
A wallbox is easy to hang on a wall. Everything behind it is where installs fail.
Most call-backs we attend come down to three things: no load management, the wrong residual current device, and a cable run nobody measured before quoting.
No load management
Charge at 32A while the oven and aircon are running and the main breaker trips. The fix is a CT clamp, not a bigger supply.
Wrong RCD fitted
EV circuits can inject DC fault current. A standard Type A device won't clear it — the install is non-compliant from day one.
Priced before the site check
Online quotes assume a 5m run and a healthy switchboard. The variation arrives on install day, when you can't say no.
Same car, same night.
Three very different mornings.
Empty to 80% on a 60kWh battery — 45kWh of energy. Watch how far each option gets before you wake up.
Shaded band = the overnight window, 9pm to 7am · track spans 24 hours
Almost nobody arrives home empty. A typical Melbourne day is 40km — about 90 minutes on a 7kW wallbox. 22kW is for two-car households, not bragging rights.

Turn the house on.
Watch the charger step back.
A CT clamp on the mains lets the wallbox share what's left instead of tripping the main breaker. Switch it off and see what a cheap install does.
Indicative only — we measure your actual maximum demand at the site check before setting the charger's current budget.

Six choices behind
a charge that just works.
Each one is decided on site, before a price is issued.
Solar-matched by default
The charge rate follows your surplus so the car absorbs export instead of shipping it out at feed-in rates.
Surplus trackingDynamic load, not guesswork
The charger throttles when the house draws hard — no nuisance trips, no supply upgrade.
CT clampOff-peak windows preset
We configure your retailer's cheapest hours at commissioning so you never think about it again.
Tariff awareCorrect RCD type
EV circuits need DC fault detection. We fit Type B or Type A with 6mA DC — never a plain Type A.

The cable run drives the price. We photograph and measure it up front so the number doesn't move.

Switchboard capacity and conduit are left with headroom so adding a second wallbox is a one-hour job.

The charger is the
cheap half of the job.
Most of an install price is cable, protection and switchboard work. The split bar shows where your money actually goes.
Illustrative examples only. Example inputs: ~18kWh/100km consumption, 34c/kWh peak and 11c/kWh off-peak example tariffs, compared with public AC/DC charging prices. Includes wallbox, dedicated circuit, protection devices and commissioning. Actual savings vary with your tariff, driving and charging mix.
Illustrative 7kW solar-matched installSolar-matching and off-peak windows are configured at commissioning — so the charger follows your tariff from the first session, not the factory defaults.
Charging,
answered plainly.
No. A 7kW single-phase wallbox adds roughly 40km of range per hour, which covers an overnight charge for almost every driver. Three-phase is worth it if you have two EVs or drive long distances daily.
Every part talks

Solar, storage, charging, comfort and hot water are designed together — not bolted on one at a time.
