Depending on your switchboard location and access, a typical cost for installing an EV charger will range from $600 - $2,000. 

Yes, your existing solar system can be integrated with your EV charger, offering several advantages, including the use of clean, renewable energy to charge your electric vehicle.

Any surplus electricity generated by your solar panels can be channeled into your EV charging process, allowing you to prioritise other electrical needs without depleting your accumulated solar energy reserves. Smart charging technology allows you to monitor your solar generation and adjust your EV charging accordingly. This ensures that your vehicle charges when excess solar power is available.

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.

To install an EV charger at home through Alectrics, we follow a streamlined process to ensure a smooth and compliant installation:

Initial Consultation: We begin by scheduling an initial consultation with you. During this consultation, we will discuss your EV charging needs and preferences.

• Determining the Ideal Location: We assess your property to identify the most suitable location for the EV charger, taking into consideration factors like accessibility and convenience.

• Electrical Capacity Assessment: We check your home's electrical system to ensure it has the necessary capacity to support the EV charging station.

• Switchboard Evaluation: If required, we evaluate whether adjustments or upgrades to your switchboard are needed to accommodate the EV charger.

Quotation: Based on the findings from the house inspection, we provide you with a detailed quotation for the EV charger installation. This quotation will include all costs associated with the installation, including labor and materials.

Approval and Scheduling: If you decide to proceed with the installation, we will work with you to schedule a convenient installation date.

The data presented in the table above is an estimation, and the actual charging speeds experienced in real-world scenarios can fluctuate based on the size of the electric vehicle's battery. The figures in the table are derived from a vehicle equipped with a 64kWh battery. It's worth noting that not all electric vehicles are capable of accepting the elevated charging rates provided by ultra-rapid chargers.
