Still Charging the Slow Way?

  • Plugging into a standard wall outlet every night — A 3-pin plug can take 15+ hours for a full charge. You bought an EV to save time, not lose it.
  • Driving out of your way to find a public charger — Planning your week around charging stations isn't freedom. It's the opposite.
  • Waking up to a half-charged car — A slow overnight charge on a standard outlet often isn't enough. A dedicated home charger fills your battery while you sleep — every time.
  • Paying public charging rates when you could charge at home — Home charging costs a fraction of public rates. Every trip to a charging station is money you don't need to spend.
  • Arriving at a public charger and it's taken — or broken — It happens more than it should. Your own charger is always available, always working.

A dedicated home EV charger solves all of this. Installed by a licensed South Melbourne electrician, done right the first time.

Worked Example

How a Smart Charger Can Avoid a Board Upgrade

A family gets home from work. The house is in full swing — ducted aircon running, kids on the PlayStation, dinner on the stove — and they are already pulling 28 amps from their 40-amp single-phase supply.

They plug in their EV.

A standard 32A charger would push the board straight over its limit and trip the main switch.

But their Evnex charger doesn't do that.

It reads the home's live power draw every few seconds. Seeing only 12 amps of headroom, it caps itself at 10 amps — the car charges slowly, but nothing trips and the family doesn't notice a thing.

By 10pm the aircon is off, the kitchen's quiet, and home usage drops to 8 amps. The charger detects the spare capacity and automatically ramps up to 32 amps. The car fills overnight.

No manual scheduling. No tripped breakers. No board upgrade needed.

Result: no board upgrade needed — the full cost of a switchboard and mains upgrade avoided.

Illustrative example — every home is different, and we assess yours on site before recommending anything.
