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.
Based in the Waikato, not a call centre
Tamahere is one of the fastest-growing residential areas in the Waikato, and EV uptake here is well above average. We've installed home EV chargers in Tamahere, Matangi, Hillcrest, and across the broader Hamilton region.
Because we're local, we're not guessing at how homes here are wired. We know the common switchboard setups, the typical cable runs in newer subdivisions, and how to get a clean install done without unnecessary fuss.
You'll deal with the same team from quote to completion. No subcontracting, no surprises.
Local knowledge
We know Tamahere's homes inside out
Tamahere has two distinct flavours — the older lifestyle blocks along Tauwhare Road and surrounds, and the newer estates closer to the village that have brought in a wave of families over the last decade.
Newer homes typically have modern switchboards and clean cable runs to the garage. Older lifestyle properties can have longer runs and older boards to consider. We've done plenty of both and quote accordingly.

EV charger installation Case Study
EV Charger Installation with Load Management
These homeowners wanted to install an EV charger at home for faster, more convenient charging. During the installation of a 32-amp single-phase EV charger, we identified a risk of overloading the home's electrical supply when multiple appliances were running at the same time.
To avoid blown fuses and unnecessary power outages, we installed a load management device that monitors the home's electricity usage in real time. When demand is high, the system automatically reduces the charger's power draw, allowing the vehicle to charge safely and reliably without the need for a costly supply upgrade.
Things people ask us
How much does EV charger installation cost in Tamahere?
Most residential installations in the Tamahere area run between $900 and $2,500 fully installed, depending on the charger unit, cable run length, and whether your switchboard needs any work. We give you a fixed price before we start.
We provide clear quotes upfront so there are no surprises.
Will my existing switchboard handle a home EV charger?
Most modern Waikato homes will be fine. Older switchboards sometimes need a circuit breaker upgrade, which we flag during the site assessment. It's not a major job and we include it in your quote if needed.
Will my house have enough power to supply my EV charger?
A site visit would be required to confirm factor such as switchboard capacity and current electric consumption.
This is why we recommend installing EV load management software.
If your home has multiple high-power appliances running simultaneously (e.g., air conditioning, electric heating), it could strain your electrical system when charging your EV.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs in Tamahere are done in two to three hours. We'll confirm the timeframe when we quote.
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, which is compatible with all EVs sold in New Zealand, including Tesla models with an adapter.
