Charging from the Wall Outlet is Slow
A 2.4kW wall outlet adds around 16km of range per hour. Most daily commutes in Cairns are manageable on that for a few days, but anything over 80km starts to create gaps. One late night and a busy week is all it takes before the wall outlet stops keeping up.
We install a dedicated 7kW single-phase home charger for Cairns homes, with the circuit designed from your switchboard and everything completed in one visit at a fixed price confirmed before we start.
Our electricians are licensed and Clean Energy Council accredited. Every install comes with a compliance certificate and workmanship warranty.

Got an EV and realised we needed somewhere to charge it at home.
Found these guys online, they came out, tested our system, explained everything clearly, and did the installation without any dramas.
It’s brilliant having a charger on our place now, and we really appreciated how professional they were throughout.

We questioned whether the whole upgrade thing was necessary or just upselling.
We questioned whether the whole upgrade thing was necessary or just upselling. They explained it clearly, showed us the testing results, and proved that it was needed with honest and straightforward answers.
Installation was done properly without fussing about, and the results speak for themselves.

We were worried about council paperwork and approvals for the installation.
They handled all that stuff for us, got the certificates, and lodged everything properly without any hassle.
Everything’s certified and proper now, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish.

Had bad experiences with tradies before so we were a bit cautious.
Albert and the team turned up on time, installed the charger professionally, cleaned up after themselves, and communicated properly throughout.
Totally different experience from before, and really impressed with their professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does home EV charger installation cost in Cairns?
Supply and install typically ranges from $1,400 to $2,800 in Cairns, reflecting tropical-rated materials and a smaller local installer pool compared to southeast Queensland. Properties further from the CBD or in the tablelands may face additional travel time, which is generally included in the quote. A 15A power point outputs 3.45kW and relies on your car’s portable EVSE, but a dedicated 7kW wall charger charges roughly twice as fast, is purpose-built for nightly use, and comes with a compliance certificate. Most homeowners who drive regularly find the investment worth it. Call us on 0490 322 217 for a fixed upfront quote.
What size EV charger do I need for my home?
A 7kW charger is the standard output for a dedicated home EV charger on a single-phase supply and suits most EVs and daily driving patterns. All current Australian EVs use a Type 2 connector for AC home charging, so any compliant wall charger is compatible with your car. If you are driving over 80km per day, a 7kW charger adds around 47km of range per hour compared to roughly 16km from a standard wall outlet. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and confirm what suits your home.
How long does a home EV charger installation take?
Most standard home charger installs are completed in a single visit of 2 to 4 hours. If a switchboard upgrade is also needed, the visit may be longer or require a second booking. We give you a clear timeline when you book, so you know what to expect. Call 0490 322 217 to discuss your property and confirm availability.
What does a home EV charger installation involve?
The job breaks into four stages: site assessment and quote, charger and circuit design, supply and installation, compliance certificate. Most standard homes complete stages 1 and 2 in a single site visit, with installation scheduled separately. On installation day, the electrician arrives, confirms the agreed install location, runs the cabling from the switchboard, mounts and wires in the charger, tests the circuit, issues the compliance certificate, and walks you through the charger. Get in touch to start the process.
Do I get a compliance certificate with my EV charger installation?
Yes. A compliance certificate is issued on every job before we leave, and it is required for insurance purposes and for future property sales. The certificate confirms the wiring work meets AS/NZS 3000 (Australian wiring rules) and covers the new circuit, cabling, and charger connection. Our licensed electricians sign off on the work on the day of installation. Call us on 0490 322 217 to arrange your quote.
