What To Expect With An EV Charger And Things To Consider

As electric vehicles (EVs) become increasingly popular in Newcastle, NSW, having a home charging station offers unparalleled convenience and efficiency. In this article, we’ll look at the process and some things that you need to consider. Horsell Electrical specialises in the professional installation of EV chargers, ensuring your home is equipped with a reliable and safe charging solution.

Understanding EV Chargers

Before installation, it's essential to understand the types of EV chargers available:

  • Level 1 Chargers: Utilise a standard 240V outlet, suitable for basic charging needs but with slower charging times.
  • Level 2 Chargers: Require a dedicated 240V circuit, offering faster charging times and ideal for regular home use.
  • Level 3 Chargers (DC Fast Chargers): Designed for commercial use, providing rapid charging but necessitating specialised equipment and higher power levels.

For most residential applications, Level 2 chargers provide an optimal balance between cost and charging efficiency.

The Installation Process

Horsell Electrical follows a comprehensive process to ensure your EV charger is installed safely and efficiently:

  1. Site Assessment: Our certified electricians evaluate your home's electrical system and determine the optimal location for the charger, considering factors such as proximity to your parking area and existing electrical capacity.
  2. Electrical Upgrades (if necessary): If your current electrical panel cannot support the additional load, we perform necessary upgrades to accommodate the new charger, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
  3. Mounting the Charger: We securely install the charger on a wall or a dedicated pedestal, ensuring it is easily accessible and free from obstructions.
  4. Connecting to Power Supply: Our team integrates the charger with your home's electrical system, adhering to all safety protocols and standards
  5. Testing and Commissioning: After installation, we conduct thorough testing to ensure the charger operates correctly and safely, providing you with peace of mind.
