Home EV Charger Installation
Charging at home is a convenient way to keep your electric vehicle ready to go.

Houses

Garages

Carports

Driveways

Before installation, we assess the property's existing electrical system and determine the most suitable location and electrical requirements for the charger.

Does My Home Need an Electrical Upgrade for an EV Charger?
Not every property requires a major electrical upgrade to install an EV charger.
The requirements depend on factors such as your existing switchboard, available electrical capacity, charger specifications and other equipment operating at the property.
In some cases, an existing electrical installation may be suitable for the charger. In other situations, an electrical upgrade may be recommended.
We can assess your existing electrical system and identify any work required before the charger is installed.
This may include:
-
Assessing your switchboard
-
Checking available electrical capacity
-
Installing a dedicated circuit
-
Upgrading circuit protection
-
Installing or upgrading RCD protection where required
-
Running cabling to the charger location
-
Upgrading the switchboard if necessary
-
Testing the completed installation
EV Charger Installation & Your Switchboard
Your switchboard plays an important role in an EV charger installation.
EV chargers can place a significant electrical load on a property, particularly when charging at higher power levels.
If your switchboard is old, overloaded or has limited space, an upgrade may be required before installing an EV charger.
If you're unsure whether your switchboard can accommodate an EV charger, our electricians can assess it and explain what options are available.
For more information, see our Switchboard Upgrades & Replacement service.
Smart EV Charging
Smart charging can help you manage when your EV charges and how much electricity it uses.
Depending on the charger and your electricity plan, scheduling charging for certain times may help you take advantage of lower electricity rates.
Smart charging can also be useful for managing your property's overall electrical demand.
If you're considering a smart EV charger, we can install the electrical infrastructure required and help ensure the charger is connected correctly.
Commercial EV Charger Installation
As electric vehicles become more common, businesses may need charging facilities for staff, customers or company vehicles.
James Smith Electrical provides electrical installation services for commercial EV charging requirements across Auckland.
Commercial installations may include:
-
EV chargers for company vehicles
-
Staff charging
-
Customer charging
-
Multiple charging points
-
Dedicated electrical circuits
-
Switchboard upgrades
-
Cabling and electrical infrastructure
For larger installations, we can work with your business and other contractors to determine the electrical requirements for the site.
EV Charger Installation for New Builds & Renovations
If you're building a new home or carrying out a major renovation, it's worth considering EV charging requirements early in the project.
Planning for an EV charger during construction can make it easier to install suitable cabling and electrical infrastructure before walls, ceilings and driveways are completed.
Even if you're not purchasing an EV immediately, allowing for future charging can make your electrical system more flexible.
How Long Does EV Charger Installation Take?
Installation time depends on the property and the location of the charger.
A straightforward installation may require less work than an installation where the charger is a long distance from the switchboard or where electrical upgrades are required.
Before starting, we'll assess the installation and explain what work is required.
