Electric Vehicle Charging Station Contractors

When should I start considering an electric vehicle charger?

EVs have been around since 2008, but it has taken some time for chargers to become popular. The first generation of EVs were expensive and had relatively short range. However, the second generation of EVs offer more affordable prices and longer ranges, which means that drivers are now looking for charging solutions to allow them to use their cars for daily commuting.

The electric vehicle market has exploded in recent times and getting an electric car charging station installed at your home by a licensed electrician can provide many years of residential electric vehicle charging and thousands of dollars saved on petrol costs.

If you are thinking about purchasing or leasing an electric vehicle, it is important to consider the range of your commute and how far you will need to travel without a charge. The electrical systems in your home and business should also be taken into account when determining the necessary charging speeds and power required to recharge your EV. It is important that you find a contractor who will install a charging station that can accommodate your range needs and electrical systems.

Charging station compatibility with your electric vehicle (EV)

When you purchase an EV, it is important to determine what type of charging solution the manufacturer offers. The Tesla Model S uses a standardised connector that requires no additional adapter or connector – any charging station compatible with this model will simply plug into your car. Other manufacturers have adopted their own adaptersElectric Vehicle Charging Stations and Expert EV Station Installation in Sydney

Dedicated Power Circuit to Provide Faster Charging

For faster charging rates, dedicated power circuits are required. The circuit should be installed with the capacity to provide the maximum output of the EV Charger

A 20 amp power circuit will likely provide faster charging than a 15 amp circuit, as it can carry up to 18 kW as opposed to 12.5 kW.

The best way to ensure that your EV Charger is installed with a dedicated power circuit is to hire an experienced electrician to install the charger.

Save Money and Decrease Energy Costs with Rooftop Solar Panels 

Many people are now installing solar panels onto their homes to take advantage of the cost savings and environmental benefits. While EVs have the potential to offer such benefits, electric vehicles contribute to an increased demand on the electrical grid.

If you already have a solar panel installation then this may increase your feed-in tariff. Installing an EV charging station on your property can add to the demand on the electrical grid and result in a reduced feed-in tariff or even a non-compliant tariff.

If you wish to install an EV Charger at your property then it is recommended that you speak to an electrical contractor about the feasibility of installing rooftop solar panels to minimise any negative impacts on your feed-in tariff.

Benefits of electric vehicles

Electric vehicles offer a number of benefits and innovations that will change the future of driving, including:

A more sustainable option – electric vehicles run on 100% renewable energy as opposed to burning fossil fuels.

Reduced operating costs – electric cars cost less to maintain since they have fewer moving parts than standard vehicles.

Modern features and conveniences – most electric cars offer a number of features and options that are not available in traditional internal-combustion vehicles.

Fast charging rates – EVs can be charged up to 80 percent within 30 minutes with the correct charger.

What’s Involved in an EV Charger Installation?

An electrician will need to come out and ensure that a dedicated power circuit is put in place for the charger. The cable for this circuit should be less than three metres in length to allow for suitable placement of the EV charger.

The electrician will then test that the circuit and your home ‘s electrical wiring can accommodate the additional load of the EV charger and install your new circuit accordingly.

Charger Installation Tips

Although it’s a good idea to have your EV charger professionally installed, there are a few steps you can take to protect yourself when hiring an electrician to install your EV charger.

If you’re hiring a professional electrician to install your charging station, be sure to ask them how they plan to provide power from the grid, and ensure that they have all the required paperwork to do so.

You should also ask the electrician if they will give you a warranty on their work. This will protect you in the event that your charging station malfunctions and they need to come out and fix it.

You should make sure that they are fully licensed and insured to perform electrical work. This will protect you in the case of any injury or damage they may cause to your home or property during the installation process.
