One of the biggest benefits of driving an EV is charging it from the comfort of your own home and waking up with a full battery. Here’s what to consider when choosing a home EV charger in Auckland.
Portable three-pin charging cable:
Most electric vehicles come with a portable charger that plugs into a standard power outlet, the same as any other household appliance. These chargers should have a built-in control and protection device (IC-CPD). Using a charger without one is not worth the risk, so always check before you plug in.
Wall-mounted EV chargers:
If you have space in the garage or on an exterior wall, a dedicated wall charger is the fastest and safest way to charge at home. Wall chargers typically run on a single-phase or three-phase supply, and most household EVs charge fully overnight on a 7kW unit. Pricing for a quality wall charger generally sits between $1,300 and $3,000, excluding installation, with the final cost depending on the brand, charging speed, and any switchboard upgrade needed.
Commercial and fleet EV charging:
For businesses, landlords, and body corporates, we design and install EV charging for staff car parks, visitor parking, and fleet vehicles. This can include multiple charging points, load management to balance demand across the building, and access or billing systems for shared car parks. Read more on our commercial EV charging page.
Before installing any EV charger, it’s worth having an electrician check your switchboard capacity, as older homes and buildings sometimes need an upgrade to safely support the extra load. Get in touch and we’ll assess what your property needs before recommending the right charger.
