Charging at home just makes sense
Public charging works in a pinch, but having a dedicated EV charger at home means you start every day with a full battery, on your schedule.
Charge overnight, drive anytime
Plug in when you get home, wake up to a full charge. No detours to public stations, no waiting around.
Faster than a standard plug
A dedicated Level 2 home charging station charges 5-8x faster than plugging into a regular wall socket. Most cars fully charge overnight.

Local knowledge
We know Chartwell's homes
Chartwell is a well-located Hamilton suburb with a broad mix of housing — established homes from the 80s and 90s sitting alongside more recent builds. That means we see a good variety of switchboard setups and cable run situations, and we're set up to handle all of them.
It's also a suburb where people tend to stay long-term, which makes investing in a home EV charger a straightforward decision. You'll get years of use out of it, and it adds genuine value if you ever do decide to sell.
You'll deal with the same team from quote to completion. No subcontracting, no surprises.

EV charger installation Case Study
EV Charger Installation with Load Management
We installed a 32-amp single-phase EV charger for a homeowner and identified a risk of overloading the home’s supply when other appliances were running.
To prevent blown fuses and outages, we added a load management device that monitors power use in real time and automatically reduces the charger’s draw when demand is high, allowing safe, reliable charging without a full supply upgrade.
Things people ask us
How much does EV charger installation cost in Chartwell?
Most residential installations in Chartwell run between $900 and $2,500 fully installed. The mix of housing ages in the suburb means costs can vary — older homes occasionally need switchboard work. We give you a fixed price before we start.
Will my existing switchboard handle a home EV charger?
It depends on the age of your home. Most Chartwell homes built in the last 20 years will be fine. Older switchboards sometimes need a circuit breaker upgrade, which we flag during the site assessment and include in your quote if needed.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs in Chartwell are done in two to three hours. We'll confirm the timeframe when we quote.
Do I need a permit or Certificate of Compliance?
Yes. Any new electrical circuit requires a Certificate of Compliance under New Zealand law. We handle all the paperwork and issue the certificate as part of every installation.
Which EV chargers do you supply and install?
We supply and install all the major brands available in New Zealand, including Wallbox, Zappi, and others. Because we handle both supply and installation, you're dealing with one company for the whole job — no sourcing the unit yourself and hoping it turns up on time.
Does it work with my Tesla / Nissan Leaf / Hyundai Ioniq?
Yes. Home EV charging stations use a standard Type 2 connector, compatible with all EVs sold in New Zealand, including Tesla models with an adapter.
