A dedicated EV charger can make charging your vehicle faster, safer and more convenient than relying on a standard power point.
Our licensed electricians install home EV chargers and commercial EV charging systems across Mount Eliza with care, clear advice and compliant workmanship.
Why Install a Dedicated EV Charger?
Running an electric vehicle from a standard power point may seem convenient, but it is not always the most practical long-term option. A dedicated EV charger is designed to support regular vehicle charging more safely and efficiently.
A professionally installed EV charger can help reduce charging time, improve convenience and provide a charging setup that suits your vehicle, property and daily routine.
Goldworks Electrical helps Mount Eliza homeowners, landlords and businesses install EV chargers that are safe, neat and suitable for everyday use.
Types of EV Chargers We Install
Level 2 Home EV Chargers
Level 2 chargers operate on a 240 volt supply and are the standard choice for residential EV charging in Australia. Depending on the charger and the vehicle, a Level 2 home charger can fully charge most EVs overnight, typically delivering between 7 and 22 kilowatts of power depending on the unit and your vehicle’s onboard charger capacity.
Commercial EV Chargers
For businesses, apartment buildings, retail centres, and commercial car parks, we install commercial grade EV charging solutions designed for higher usage and multiple simultaneous connections. Whether you need a single charger for a staff car park or a multi-bay setup for a customer-facing facility, we’ll design and install the right solution for your premises.
What's Involved in a Home EV Charger Installation
Site Assessment
We start by assessing your property, including the location of your switchboard, the available capacity on your electrical system, the distance from the switchboard to the proposed charger location, and the best mounting position for the unit.
Switchboard Assessment
A dedicated EV charger requires its own circuit and circuit breaker back at the switchboard. We assess whether your existing switchboard has the capacity to accommodate the new circuit or whether an upgrade is required before installation can proceed. We’ll let you know upfront if a switchboard upgrade is needed and what it will cost.
Charger Selection & Installation
We’ll help you choose the right charger for your vehicle, your parking setup, and your budget. Key considerations include the power output of the charger, compatibility with your vehicle, smart charging features, and whether you want the unit to integrate with a solar system if you have one.
Testing and Handover
We test the charger and confirm it’s communicating correctly with your vehicle before we leave. We walk you through the operation of the unit and any smart charging features it includes.

Maximising Your EV Setup
Do You Need a Switchboard Upgrade?
Some Mount Eliza homes and businesses may need a switchboard upgrade before an EV charger can be safely installed. Older switchboards may not have the capacity or protection needed for regular vehicle charging.
We can assess your switchboard and explain whether it is suitable, needs minor changes or requires an upgrade before installation.
Solar and EV Charging
If your property has solar, an EV charger can be a smart way to make better use of your energy system. Depending on your setup, charging habits and equipment, you may be able to charge your electric vehicle more efficiently during the day.
Goldworks Electrical can help install an EV charger that works with your property’s electrical system and future energy goals.

GOT QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions — EV Charger Installation
What is the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 EV charger?
Level 1 charging uses a standard 10 amp power point and delivers a slow trickle charge, typically adding between 8 and 15 kilometres of range per hour. Level 2 charging uses a dedicated 240 volt circuit and delivers a much faster charge, typically adding between 30 and 100 kilometres of range per hour depending on the charger and the vehicle. For most EV owners, a Level 2 home charger is the practical choice.
How long does it take to charge an EV with a home charger?
It depends on the capacity of the charger, the capacity of your vehicle’s battery, and how depleted it is when you plug in. Most modern EVs can be fully charged from empty overnight with a standard Level 2 home charger. We’ll give you a realistic expectation based on your specific vehicle during the consultation.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade to install an EV charger?
Not always. It depends on the current capacity of your switchboard and how many circuits are already in use. We assess this during the site inspection and let you know upfront whether an upgrade is required.
Can I install an EV charger if I rent my home?
You’ll need permission from your landlord to install a hardwired EV charger. Some landlords are open to it, particularly as EV ownership becomes more common. We’re happy to provide a quote you can share with your landlord to support the conversation.
Can an EV charger work with my solar system?
Yes. Smart EV chargers can be configured to prioritise solar generation for vehicle charging, reducing or eliminating the cost of charging from the grid. We can advise on the best approach during your consultation.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
Most residential EV charger installations take between two and four hours depending on the distance from the switchboard to the charger location and whether any switchboard work is required. We’ll confirm the timeframe when we quote.
Is an EV charger installation eligible for any rebates or incentives?
Victorian and federal government incentives for EVs and EV infrastructure change regularly. We recommend checking the current offerings through the Victorian Government and the Australian Government Clean Energy Finance Corporation websites for the most up to date information at the time of your installation.
