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 St Andrews
St Andrews is a settled, family-oriented suburb in Hamilton's northwest — good schools, quiet streets, and a lot of homes with double garages that are practically made for a wall-mounted EV charger.
Most homes here were built from the 1990s onward, which means switchboards are generally in good shape and installs are typically clean and predictable. It's one of those suburbs where we rarely run into complications.
EV uptake in St Andrews has been growing steadily, particularly among families who've made the switch from a second petrol car. Having a charger at home makes that transition genuinely easy.
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 St Andrews?
Most residential installations in St Andrews run between $900 and $2,500 fully installed. Homes in the area tend to be well-suited for EV installs, so most jobs sit comfortably within that range. We give you a fixed price before we start.
Will my existing switchboard handle a home EV charger?
Most St Andrews homes have modern switchboards that handle EV circuits without issues. We check every board during the site assessment just to be sure.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs in St Andrews 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.
