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 Gardenvale 3185, 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Quieter home | 8A | 32A | 40A |

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 Gardenvale (VIC 3185). Include your street and a short description of the job, and we will come back to you about timing. We also cover Brighton and Brighton East.
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 36% of Gardenvale homes being separate houses, a garage or driveway wall is the usual position.
Many chargers can be set to use surplus solar or to run on a timer. 838 small-scale solar systems have been installed in postcode 3185 since 2001 (Clean Energy Regulator), so it is a common question here. We look at the inverter, the switchboard and the charger's settings together.
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.
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.
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 520 dwellings in Gardenvale, home to about 1,020 people with a median age of 39. 35% of Gardenvale households had two or more cars at the 2021 Census, and 36% of homes are separate houses (20% 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. By comparison, the share of households with two or more cars is higher in neighbouring Brighton (55%) and Brighton East (60%).
Clean Energy Regulator records show 838 small-scale solar systems installed in postcode 3185 since 2001, and 137 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.
Gardenvale is about 26 km south of our Lalor base, in Melbourne's bayside, around Gardenvale station and Martin Street. Gardenvale sits within the Glen Eira council area. We also work in neighbouring Brighton, Brighton East, Caulfield South and Elsternwick.
