Frequently asked questions
How much does a home EV charger cost to install in Mildura?+
A standard 7kW single-phase home EV charger installed at a typical Mildura home runs from around $1,500 to $2,500 all-in (charger + install + certification), depending on the brand of charger you choose and the length of the cable run from your switchboard to the install point. Three-phase 22kW installs and jobs that need a switchboard upgrade cost more. We give you a fixed quote after a site visit so there are no surprises.
Do I need a single phase or three phase EV charger?+
About 90% of Australian homes are single phase, and most current EVs accept a maximum of 7-11kW onboard charging anyway, which a single phase 7kW charger handles fine. Three phase 22kW is worth it only if (a) your home is already on three phase and (b) your EV accepts 11kW or 22kW onboard. If you're not sure what your EV accepts, we'll check the spec for you before we quote — no point paying for capacity you can't use.
How long does it take to install an EV charger?+
Most home EV chargers we install in Mildura take 3-4 hours on site, from arrival to walk-through. If a switchboard upgrade is needed it adds another half day. From the time you call us to the day the charger's on the wall is usually 1-2 weeks.
