EV Chargers Canberra
Charge your electric vehicle at home with a dedicated EV charging station. Professionally installed by licensed Canberra electricians to suit your vehicle and your electrical setup.
Canberra's Complete Air Conditioning Service
Charging your electric vehicle at home is the most convenient and cost-effective way to keep it topped up. But plugging into a standard 10-amp powerpoint is slow, taking 30 hours or more for a full charge on most EVs, and puts sustained load on wiring that was never designed for it. A dedicated Level 2 (Type 2) wall charger delivers significantly faster charge times, typically six to ten hours for a full battery, and connects to your switchboard through its own protected circuit.
Clark Electrical & Air Conditioning installs home EV chargers across Canberra for all major vehicle brands including Tesla, BYD, Hyundai, Kia, MG, Polestar, and BMW. We assess your switchboard capacity, determine whether an upgrade is needed to support the additional load, install the charger in your preferred location (garage, carport, or external wall), and run a dedicated circuit from your switchboard with the correct breaker and RCD protection.
Every installation is completed by a licensed electrician (Licence #19957304), submitted with a Certificate of Electrical Safety to Access Canberra, and tested before handover. We walk you through how to operate the charger and set up any scheduling features so you can take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
What Goes Into an EV Charger Installation
An EV charger draws a significant amount of power, typically between 7kW and 22kW depending on the unit and your vehicle’s onboard charger. Before installation, we check your switchboard to confirm it has the spare capacity to handle the load safely. If your board is older or already close to capacity, we may recommend a switchboard upgrade at the same time to avoid overloading the system.
We also assess the cable run distance between your switchboard and the charger location, as longer runs may require heavier gauge cable to maintain safe voltage levels. The charger is mounted securely, wired to a dedicated circuit with its own circuit breaker and safety switch, and tested under load before we hand it over.

Aaron and Ben from Clarke Electrical were absolutely fantastic! They arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the job efficiently with great attention to detail. They also reassured me that if anything comes up during the warranty period, Clarke Electrical will provide full support, which gives me great peace of mind. Professional, friendly, and reliable, highly recommend their services!
Clark Electrical were amazing!!! Aaron and Ben were fantastic and friendly. They were quick and efficient. Peta went above and beyond with her cutomer service and kept me updated at all times. If you are looking for quick and efficient service- contact Clark Electrical.
I had an incredible experience with Clark Electrical. I made a mistake with the measurement of my appliance, but they willingly returned to reinstall it without any additional charges. Phoenix, in particular, was exceptionally swift and friendly in our communication.
I wholeheartedly recommend these individuals without hesitation. They exceeded my expectations in every way. In fact, there’s no need to waste your time searching for another electrician, as their pricing is also very reasonable.
Friendly and easygoing, well versed in what they do, quoted a few good airconditioning solutions well under budget, they had the ducted system installed, up and running in a day and were really accommodating on incidental work (Yay! Network!). They made the whole process super easy and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Massive thanks to Aaron, Phoenix + team.
We contacted Clark Electrical and were immediately impressed with your friendly approach (thanks Maria) and excellent communication backed by a great quote for the work required. We booked a date and time and the Aiden and Guy picked up the items, delivered them and with some help from Aaron, professionally installed them providing excellent service and great workmanship, topped with excellent value for money. We will be recommending your business at every opportunity.
Great communication and very friendly all round from my initial call to the end of the job. A dodgy cheap double adaptor exploded (causing a very impressive bang, complete with light show), taking out my power. I called, and received same day service. Lawrence arrived at the arranged time, was super helpful, very friendly, answered all my silly questions and fixed my power outage quickly. I have a fair bit of electrical work needed around the house (lights, additional outlets, ceiling fan installation etc), and will definitely be using this company to do that work. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Thanks so much team!
We install all major EV charger brands. Free on-site assessment, upfront pricing, and no hidden fees.
EV Charger FAQs
Common questions about home EV charger installation in Canberra. Call 1300 230 462 if yours is not covered below.
Can I charge my EV from a normal powerpoint?
Technically yes, but it is not recommended as a long-term solution. A standard 10-amp powerpoint delivers a very slow charge (approximately 2.3kW), puts sustained load on wiring not designed for it, and most vehicle manufacturers recommend a dedicated charging circuit. A Level 2 wall charger is faster, safer, and better for your vehicle’s battery.
How long does it take to install an EV charger?
Most installations take between two and four hours. If a switchboard upgrade is also required, the job may take a full day. We provide a clear timeframe during the quoting process.
Do I need to upgrade my switchboard for an EV charger?
Not always, but it is common. If your switchboard is already at or near capacity, an upgrade will be necessary to safely support the additional load. We assess your board during the free quote and let you know if an upgrade is needed.
What EV charger brands do you install?
We install all major brands including Fronius, ABB, Wallbox, Ocular, Tesla Wall Connector, and more. If you have already purchased a charger, we are happy to install it. If you need help choosing, we can recommend the best option for your vehicle and budget.
Can I charge my EV using solar power?
Yes, if you have a solar system installed. Some EV chargers have built-in solar integration that prioritises charging from excess solar production. We can advise on charger models that work with your existing solar setup.
Will an EV charger increase my electricity bill significantly?
It depends on your driving habits and electricity plan. Charging a typical EV at home costs roughly $15 to $25 per week at standard rates, which is significantly less than petrol. Charging overnight on an off-peak tariff can reduce this further. We can help you set up scheduled charging to take advantage of the cheapest rates.
