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 Hamilton East's homes
Hamilton East is one of the city's oldest and most character-rich suburbs — which we love, but it does mean the electrical setups vary considerably. You'll find everything from pre-war villas with original wiring to mid-century bungalows to more recent renovations, sometimes on the same street.
Older homes here often have switchboards that need attention before we can safely add an EV circuit. That's not unusual and it's not a big deal — we assess every board during the site visit and include any upgrade work in your quote upfront. No surprises on the day.
What we don't do is take shortcuts to make the job look cheaper. Hamilton East homes are worth doing properly.
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 Hamilton East?
Most residential installations run between $900 and $2,500 fully installed. Older Hamilton East homes occasionally need switchboard work which can add to the cost — we'll always tell you upfront before anything starts.
My home is older — will it need rewiring?
Not necessarily. Most older homes just need a dedicated circuit added to the existing switchboard. If the board itself needs upgrading we'll let you know during the assessment and quote it separately.
How long does installation take?
Most installs in Hamilton East are done in two to three hours. Older homes with more complex setups can occasionally take a bit longer — we'll flag that 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 charger brands do you install?
We work with all the major brands available in New Zealand, including Wallbox, Zappi, and others. We can advise on what unit suits your vehicle and usage so you're not paying for features you don't need.
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.
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.
