Voltra provides EV charger installation Melbourne homeowners can rely on for a straightforward, tidy home charging setup. We install and connect home EV chargers across Melbourne, whether the preferred location is a garage, carport or suitable outdoor wall.
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.
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.
A home installation starts with a dedicated circuit from the switchboard to the charger location. The usual setup is a wall-mounted Level 2 AC charger in a garage or carport, with tidy cable runs planned around the property. Where the charger is mounted outside, Voltra can use a suitable weatherproof option for the location.
The assessment considers the switchboard, the route for the cables, the wall or mounting surface and how the electric vehicle will be parked. This means the installation is planned around the home rather than treated as a one-size-fits-all job.
A dedicated Level 2 charger keeps home charging separate from ordinary household outlets. It gives the electric vehicle a consistent place to connect, while the installation is planned around safe access, a neat finish and the everyday layout of the garage, carport or driveway.
We install or supply and install Tesla, Zappi, Wallbox, EVNEX, Ocular, Ohme home chargers. The charger can be selected around the vehicle, the preferred features and the property’s electrical setup.
A tethered charger has its cable attached, ready to plug into the vehicle. A socketed charger has an outlet on the unit and uses the vehicle’s cable. Both are practical options for home charging.
Most Melbourne homes are single phase. A typical single-phase setup can run a 7 kW charger, adding roughly 30–50 km of range per hour depending on the vehicle, and is easily suited to a full overnight charge.
Three-phase homes can run faster 22 kW-capable chargers. Nobody needs to know which supply they have before making an enquiry: Voltra checks it during the assessment and explains the practical options.
Most straightforward installations are done in a day. The completed work is tested before handover, and the Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued for the installation.
The scope can depend on the age of the switchboard and its spare capacity, the distance from the switchboard to the charger location, whether the property is single or three phase, and the wall type and cable route. Homes that already run larger appliances may also need load management considered as part of the assessment.
If the switchboard needs attention, see our switchboard upgrades service. Every job gets a fixed written quote before work starts.

Most straightforward installations are done in a day. The assessment confirms the cable route, switchboard capacity and charger location before work starts. If the property needs a more involved approach, that is set out in the fixed written quote.
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, 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.
An apartment or unit installation can be possible, but shared electrical infrastructure and owners corporation approval may need to be considered. Voltra can review the practical installation path for the individual property. The assessment clarifies the available options before work begins.
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.
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.

Worked Example
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.
