EV Charging Solutions for Homes and Businesses

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a normal part of life for many individuals and businesses alike. As more people make the shift to electric, access to reliable and well-installed charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly important.

Whether you're looking to install a charger at home or at a workplace, it's important to understand your options—and what's involved in getting everything up and running safely.

We install EV charging systems across a range of settings, tailoring each installation to the needs of the property and the people using it. Our work focuses on safety, compliance, and practical design to ensure the system fits your day-to-day requirements now and in the future.​

Understanding EV Charging: AC vs. DC

There are two main types of EV chargers: AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current). Each serves a different purpose, depending on how quickly you need to charge and the type of setting the charger is used in.

AC Chargers:

  • Most common type for homes and smaller businesses

  • Slower charging, but more cost-effective and easier to install

  • Level 1 uses a standard household outlet (120V), typically adding 5–8 km of range per hour

  • Level 2 uses a 240V connection and can add around 30–50 km of range per hour

  • Suitable for overnight charging or vehicles parked for longer periods

DC Fast Chargers:

  • Delivers power directly to the vehicle battery, bypassing the onboard charger

  • Much faster charging—can add 100–300 km of range in 30–60 minutes

  • Higher power demand and more expensive to install

  • Typically used in commercial or public locations, such as service stations, fleet depots, or shopping centres

We help assess which type of charger best suits the location and your usage needs to fit with your available power supply.

​

​Residential EV Charging

Installing an EV charger at home offers convenience and peace of mind—especially if your EV is your main mode of transport. Most homeowners choose Level 2 AC chargers, which strike a good balance between cost and charging speed. They’re also compatible with all major EV brands.

Typical home setup includes:

  • Site assessment of your current electrical system - firstly by photos and then a site visit

  • Installation of a Level 2 AC charger

  • Upgrades to the switchboard or circuit, if required

  • Submission of forms to the electricity provider (E.g: Ergon) if necessary

  • Optional smart charger setup, allowing scheduled or solar-based charging

The installation process is usually completed within a day, and we work to minimize disruption during the process.

​

Commercial EV Charging

For businesses and property managers, providing EV charging can support staff, tenants, or visitors while contributing to sustainability goals or compliance with green building standards. The design and scale of the installation depend on expected usage, space available, and power capacity.

Common considerations for commercial EV charging installations include:

  • Quantity and type of chargers (AC for long-stay parking; DC for fast turnover)

  • Load management to prevent overloading the electrical system

  • User access and payment systems (public vs. private access)

  • Integration with existing or future solar or battery systems

We help plan installations with scalability in mind, so the system can be expanded as EV demand grows.

​

Equipment and Compatibility

There are many EV charger brands on the market. We work with a variety of trusted manufacturers and will recommend a unit based on your needs, vehicle type, and preferences.

Popular brands include:

  • Fronius Watt Pilot

  • Zappi

  • SigEnergy 

Chargers may also offer smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity, app-based control, usage tracking, and solar energy integration.
