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 Footscray 3011, assessing the charger position, the switchboard and the cable route before confirming the scope. We explain the options and agree the work before anything starts.
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.

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 Footscray (VIC 3011). Tell us your street and what you need, and we will confirm when we can be in Footscray. We also cover Flemington and Kensington.
Often, yes, with owners corporation approval. We check how the car space is supplied and the cable route from your meter before quoting. Many Footscray 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. 52% of homes in Footscray are flats or apartments, so we check the building's requirements with you before booking.
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.
Yes. Every Voltra EV charger installation is completed with a Certificate of Electrical Safety. The certificate records the completed electrical work and is issued after the installation is tested.
A licensed electrician must carry out hardwired EV charger installation in Victoria because it is licensed electrical work. Every Voltra installation is completed under REC 37324 and certified with a Certificate of Electrical Safety. This gives the homeowner a clear record of the completed electrical work.
YOUR HOME / YOUR AREA
Footscray is a suburb of about 17,130 people (2021 Census), where 41% of homes are owner-occupied and 56% are rented. 52% of homes in Footscray are flats or apartments, and 21% 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. For comparison, the share of households with two or more cars in Footscray (23%) falls between neighbouring Flemington (23%) and Kensington (28%).
Clean Energy Regulator records show about 1,340 small-scale solar systems installed in postcode 3011 since 2001, and 135 home batteries since July 2025. Homes with solar can often schedule charging for the middle of the day, which is worth planning before the charger is chosen.
Footscray is about 18 km south-west of our Lalor base, in Melbourne's inner west, near Footscray Market and the Maribyrnong River. Footscray sits within the Maribyrnong council area. Next door, we also cover Flemington, Kensington, Maribyrnong and Seddon.
