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 the Darebin area 3072, assessing the charger position, the switchboard and the cable route before confirming the scope. Tell us about your property and what you have in mind, and we will explain the scope and the next step.
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.

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.

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 the Darebin area (VIC 3072). Send your street, the work you need and any access notes, and we will confirm availability and the next step. We also cover Preston and Thornbury.
In most cases, yes. We look at where you park, the distance from the switchboard, and whether the board and supply can carry a charger alongside the home's other load. With 56% of the Darebin area homes being separate houses, a garage or driveway wall is the usual position.
Yes. Period homes often have lath-and-plaster ceilings, decorative features and older wiring, so we plan access and fixings carefully and check the existing circuits before adding to them.
Level 1 charging uses a standard powerpoint and is a slow trickle charge. A Level 2 charger is a dedicated wall-mounted charger on its own circuit and is several times faster for home charging. It is the usual choice for a practical overnight setup.
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. We install the Tesla Wall Connector on its own circuit from the switchboard after checking the board and supply, and set its current limit to suit your home. We also install Zappi, Wallbox, EVNEX, Ocular and Ohme chargers.
Home Level 2 AC chargers suit all current EVs and plug-in hybrids. The connector standard is the same across new EVs sold in Australia. Voltra can confirm the practical charger and cable setup for the specific vehicle during the assessment.
YOUR HOME / YOUR AREA
The 2021 Census counted about 65,930 dwellings in the Darebin area, home to about 148,570 people with a median age of 37. 40% of the Darebin area households had two or more cars at the 2021 Census, and 56% of homes are separate houses (27% are townhouses or semis). Most chargers here go on a garage, carport or driveway wall. In older homes the switchboard and main supply are checked first, because a 7 kW charger adds a large, long-running load. Neighbouring Preston (39%) and Thornbury (38%) are similar on this measure.
From Lalor, the Darebin area is roughly 7.4 km to the south, in Melbourne's inner north, around High Street and the Darebin Creek Trail. This page covers the City of Darebin council area as a whole. The same service is available in nearby Preston, Thornbury, Northcote and Reservoir.
