About This Service

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common across Melbourne's northern suburbs, and home charging is by far the most convenient and cost-effective way to keep your EV topped up. Voltra Electrical installs dedicated home EV charging stations (Level 2 AC chargers) for all major EV brands including Tesla, BYD, MG, Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, and more. A dedicated EV charger delivers significantly faster charging than a standard 10A powerpoint — typically 7–22kW depending on your vehicle and charger, compared to around 2.4kW from a standard outlet. We assess your switchboard capacity, install a dedicated circuit and weatherproof outlet or wall-mounted charger unit, and ensure everything is safe and compliant. We service homeowners and businesses across Lalor, Epping, Mill Park, South Morang, Thomastown, Bundoora, Wollert, Doreen, Craigieburn, Mernda, Greensborough, and Preston. All EV charger installations are carried out by our licensed electrician (REC: 37324) and comply with AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards.

Charging your EV from a standard 10A powerpoint is slow and puts unnecessary strain on a circuit not designed for continuous high-draw loads. A dedicated Level 2 home charger is the right solution — it charges your vehicle 3–10x faster, uses a circuit designed for the load, and includes safety features like earth leakage protection.

At Voltra Electrical, we handle the full EV charger installation process. We start by assessing your switchboard to ensure it has the capacity for a dedicated EV circuit — if not, we'll discuss a switchboard upgrade at the same time. We then run a dedicated cable from your switchboard to the garage or driveway, install a weatherproof outlet or wall-mounted charger unit, and test the full system before handover. We work with all major charger brands and can also install smart chargers that let you schedule charging during off-peak tariff periods to minimise your electricity costs. For businesses, we can install multiple charging stations in car parks and commercial premises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 EV charger?

Level 1 charging uses a standard 10A powerpoint and delivers around 2.4kW — enough to add roughly 15km of range per hour. Level 2 uses a dedicated 32A circuit and delivers 7–22kW, adding 40–120km of range per hour depending on your vehicle. For most EV owners, a Level 2 charger is the practical choice for home charging.

Do I need a switchboard upgrade before installing an EV charger?

It depends on your current switchboard. Older boards may not have the capacity or safety devices required for a dedicated EV circuit. We'll assess your switchboard as part of the installation process and let you know if an upgrade is needed.

Can I install an EV charger in an apartment or unit?

EV charger installation in apartments and units is possible but more complex, as it often involves body corporate approval and shared electrical infrastructure. Call us on 0413 421 667 to discuss your specific situation.

Which EV charger brands do you install?

We install all major home EV charger brands including Tesla Wall Connector, Zappi, Wallbox, EVBox, and others. We can also install a dedicated outlet for your vehicle's supplied charger cable. Let us know your vehicle and preferences when you call.

Are you licensed to install EV chargers in Victoria?

Yes. EV charger installation is electrical work and must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Voltra Electrical holds Electrical Contractor Licence REC: 37324 and is fully insured. All EV charger installations comply with AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards.
