A charging setup that fits your car,
your home and the way you live.
01 / READY WHEN YOU ARE
We install home EV chargers in Carlton 3053, assessing the charger position, the switchboard and the cable route before confirming the scope. We agree the scope and the quote with you before any work begins.
A home EV charger installation gives an electric vehicle a dedicated place to charge when it is parked at home. Every installation is completed by a licensed electrician under REC 37324 and finished with a Certificate of Electrical Safety.

Watch how load management shares the available power.
01 / A quieter home
With less household demand, more of the available supply can go to charging. The home and car share the illustrated 40A limit.A quieter home leaves more capacity for the car. Together, they share the available supply.

Illustrative values, not live readings. The charger, vehicle, supply and configured limits determine actual charging. Load management may reduce the need for extra supply capacity; it does not replace a switchboard safety assessment. How Evnex manages household load.

The details make the difference.
04 / THE RIGHT FIT
If the vehicle, charger type or existing electrical setup is still being worked out, that is fine. Voltra can assess the property and explain the practical options before work begins.
The aim is a dependable charging point that fits the way the household parks, drives and uses electricity. Before installation, Voltra checks the proposed charger location, the existing electrical equipment and the path for the dedicated cable. This keeps the finished setup clear, practical and suited to the individual home.
01 / CHARGERS WE INSTALL
We install or supply and install Tesla, Zappi, Wallbox, EVNEX, Ocular and Ohme home chargers. Choose the features around your vehicle and electrical setup.
Tethered means the cable is attached and ready to use. Socketed means you connect a separate charging cable.
02 / SINGLE OR THREE PHASE
Single-phase and three-phase homes have different charging options. Your vehicle’s AC charging capability also determines how much of a charger’s output it can use.
You don’t need to know your supply type before enquiring. We check it during the assessment.
03 / SOLAR & LOAD MANAGEMENT
Compatible chargers can adapt to household demand or use available solar energy. The right setup depends on your charger, metering and existing solar or battery system.
We explain what is practical for your home before recommending a setup.
TESLA WALL CONNECTOR
We install the Tesla Wall Connector in Melbourne homes, mounted where you park and connected on its own circuit from the switchboard.
Before installing, we check the switchboard, the supply and the cable route, then set the charger's current limit to suit your home and test the installation.
01 / SINGLE OR THREE PHASE
On single-phase power, a Wall Connector typically charges at up to about 7 kW. Three-phase homes can charge faster, up to what the car itself can accept.
02 / MORE THAN ONE CAR
Two or more Wall Connectors can be set up to share one supply and split the available power between cars.
03 / OTHER ELECTRIC CARS
It uses the Type 2 connector common in Australia, so it can charge many other electric cars too. We confirm it suits your car first.
Tesla and Wall Connector are trademarks of Tesla, Inc. Voltra Electrical is an independent electrical contractor.
05 / FROM FIRST LOOK TO FIRST CHARGE
We consider switchboard condition and capacity, the cable route, mounting surface and where you park. The scope is agreed before work starts.

06 / BEFORE YOU PLUG IN
Yes. We cover every part of Carlton (VIC 3053). Include your street and a short description of the job, and we will come back to you about timing. We also cover Carlton North and East Melbourne.
Often, yes, with owners corporation approval. We check how the car space is supplied and the cable route from your meter before quoting. Many Carlton apartments are in taller buildings, where the building manager's process sets the timing.
It depends on the building's rules. Work that touches common property, the building's structure or shared services usually needs approval, while work inside your own apartment may not. 81% of homes in Carlton are flats or apartments, so we check the building's requirements with you before booking.
Voltra checks the switchboard during the assessment. The check looks at available capacity, the condition of the board and the required safety protection for a dedicated circuit. If related switchboard work is needed, it is explained before work begins.
No. Most Melbourne homes are single phase and can run a 7 kW charger, which is suitable for an overnight charge. Three-phase homes can support faster 22 kW-capable chargers, but Voltra checks what the property has during the assessment.
Yes, where the charger and mounting location are suitable for outdoor use. Weatherproof options are available for an exterior wall, carport or driveway location. The cable route and mounting surface are checked as part of the assessment.
A tethered charger has its charging cable attached to the unit, ready to plug into the vehicle. A socketed charger has an outlet on the unit, so the vehicle's cable is used instead. Both can suit a home setup; the choice comes down to the vehicle and how the charger will be used.
Many chargers support solar-aware charging or load management. Voltra can explain what suits the property's existing electrical setup during the assessment. The right approach depends on the charger selected and how the home uses electricity.
YOUR HOME / YOUR AREA
The 2021 Census counted about 9,830 dwellings in Carlton, home to about 16,060 people with a median age of 27. 81% of homes in Carlton are flats or apartments, and 48% of households had no car at the 2021 Census. For an apartment car space, a charger usually needs owners corporation approval and a supply from the unit's own meter or a shared metering arrangement, so we start with the building's rules and the distance from the meter room to the bay. The share of households with two or more cars is 11% in Carlton, lower than in next-door Carlton North (32%) and East Melbourne (27%).
21 home batteries have been installed in postcode 3053 since July 2025, on top of 209 solar systems since 2001, according to the Clean Energy Regulator. Homes with solar can often schedule charging for the middle of the day, which is worth planning before the charger is chosen.
From Lalor, Carlton is roughly 15 km to the south, in Melbourne's inner city, around Lygon Street and the Carlton Gardens. Carlton sits within the Melbourne council area. Next door, we also cover Carlton North, East Melbourne, Fitzroy and Fitzroy North.
