EV Charger Installation
Electric vehicles are becoming common in the inner north-east. But many Morley and Embleton homes have older switchboards that weren't designed for the load an EV charger adds. I handle the full installation - charger, cabling, and any switchboard work needed to support it.
EV Charging in Older Suburbs
The challenge with EV chargers in Morley, Embleton, and similar suburbs is that many homes have older electrical infrastructure. A 7kW charger draws about 32 amps - that's a significant load on a 1970s switchboard that might only have 60-amp mains.
Duplexes and townhouses add another layer of complexity. Shared meter boards, limited space for additional circuits, and sometimes strata approval needed. I've installed chargers in all these scenarios and can advise on the best approach for your situation.
For rear-lot homes common in subdivided Embleton and Bayswater blocks, the cable run from switchboard to garage can be substantial. I'll assess what's involved before quoting.
