The Installation Process
Our EV charger installation process is straightforward and hassle-free. First, we conduct a free site visit to assess your property and discuss your requirements. We'll check your switchboard capacity, measure cable runs, and recommend the best charger location. Next, we provide you with a detailed quote covering the charger, installation, and any electrical upgrades needed.
Once you're happy to proceed, we'll schedule the installation at a time that suits you. Most installations are completed in a single day. We'll mount your charger, run the necessary cabling, upgrade your switchboard if required, test the system, and show you how to use it. You'll be charging your EV at home the same day.
☀️ Solar & Smart Charging in Ballan
With Ballan’s growing solar uptake, pairing your EV charger with solar just makes sense. Smart chargers like the Zappi and GoodWe units can:
- Detect surplus solar generation and prioritise EV charging
- Automatically switch between solar-only and grid power
- Save hundreds per year on energy costs
We’ll configure your charger to communicate seamlessly with your inverter so you can literally drive on sunshine.
🏡 Case Study – Greendale Installation
When
Tom from Greendale bought his BYD Atto 3, he wanted to charge entirely from his solar system.
We installed a Zappi (V2.1) in his garage, set it to ECO mode through load management, and optimised his switchboard for the new load.
Now Tom charges 100% from renewables and has cut his power bills by around $700 per year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does EV charger installation cost in Ballan?
Installation costs vary depending on your setup, charger choice, and whether switchboard upgrades are needed. Most installations range between $1,500 and $3,500. We provide free quotes after assessing your property.
How long does installation take?
Most EV charger installations are completed in one day, typically 3-6 hours depending on the complexity of the job.
Do I need 3-phase power?
Not necessarily. Single-phase power is sufficient for most home charging needs, providing 7kW charging speeds. 3-phase power allows faster charging (up to 22kW) but isn't essential for overnight charging.
Will my charger work with any EV?
Most chargers work with all EVs using the Type 2 connector (the Australian standard). Tesla vehicles can use Tesla Wall Connectors or universal Type 2 chargers with an adapter.
Can I charge from my solar panels?
Absolutely. Smart chargers like the Zappi can prioritize solar charging, helping you maximize your solar investment and reduce charging costs.
Do you handle council permits?
We manage all electrical compliance and certification. For most standard installations, council permits aren't required, but we'll advise you if your property needs one.
