EV Charger Installation Sydney

Charge Your Electric Vehicle at Home

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular. This is not surprising, considering the environmental and cost-effective benefits they offer:

Reduced fuel costs and higher efficiency
Require less maintenance
Offers fuel security
Reduce traffic noise
Improve air quality and overall benefit the environment
Opportunities for tax concessions for low-emission vehicles

If you drive an electric car or a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), having an at-home charger is a must. Not only is it convenient, but it’s better for your car’s battery health and significantly cheaper than relying on public chargers.

You can save more money by pairing your charger with a home solar system. Other benefits of having a home EV charger include:

Faster Speeds with a Level 2 AC charger
Increased property value as EV adoption increases
Safer charging as electrical loads are distributed across a dedicated electrical circuit with switchboard protections

Electricians Sydney by Alliance delivers top-tier residential EV charger installations. Our fully licensed, fully insured in-house electricians are ready to help you take your home into the future.
We offer EV charger installations for both residential and commercial properties and can provide expert advice on which charger will suit your needs.

EV Home Charger Types

EV Sales have increased from less than 1% in 2020 to 8.9% in 2025, meaning the need for an at-home charger is growing.

Deciding which charger type you need for your at-home EV charging unit depends on your vehicle’s charging requirements and your home’s electrical load and grid demand. There are 3 key types of EV chargers to consider.

Level 1

Level 1 chargers range from 1.4kW to 3.7kW and are slow charging, using an alternating current (AC). This is equivalent to using a standard power point at home or work. Charging is usually performed overnight, with a 10 to 20km range added after an hour of charging.

Level 2

Level 2 chargers are significantly faster than Level 1 chargers, but still use AC charging capabilities. A level 2 charger ranges from 7kW to 22kW and can add 30 to 130km of range per hour, depending on your car.

Level 3

Level 3 chargers are fast chargers that use a direct current (DC) and offer 25kW to 350kW charging capability. This can add 150 to 300km per hour, with some charges only taking 10 to 15 minutes to be fully charged.

EV Charging Levels	Power	Range Added (per hour)	Charging Time	Application
Level 1 (single phase)	1.4-2.7kW	1–20km range/hour	6-16 hours	Domestic/residential use
Level 2 (single phase)	7kW	30-45km range/hour	2-5 hours	Residential, workplace, shopping centres, and car parks
Level 2 (three-phase)	11-22kW	50-130km range/hour	30 minutes to 2 hours	Urban landscapes and public charging stations
Level 3 (fast charge)	25-350kW	150-300km range/hour	10 minutes to 1 hour	Highways, motorways, and key rural routes

7kW vs. 22kW Chargers: Which to Choose

While single-phase level 1 chargers are perfectly suitable for residential properties, you may want the extra power a level 2 charger type offers. However, that still leaves a choice between a 7kW and a 22kW Level 2 charger. When deciding which to choose, you will need to consider the EV charging solutions your property and car require.

7kW chargers are the most common power rate EV owners choose for their home unit, as it matches the standard single-phase power supply found in most Australian homes and businesses. The benefits of a 7kW are:

Standard installation
No grid upgrades required
Overnight charging is fast and reliable
EV Battery longevity
Solar compatibility
Cost-effective electricity rates

A 22kW charging system that uses a three-phase power supply may be required if your property cannot safely handle the electrical load. 22kW chargers may be required if:

You own multiple EVs
Travel frequently and require faster, longer driving ranges
You operate a property or business that requires fast turnarounds for charging speed

If you want to install a 22kW three-phase charger, you may need a switchboard upgrade and a three-phase installation alongside an EV charging station installation. Luckily, Electricians Sydney by Alliance is prepared and qualified to carry out all three procedures.

Smart Features for Your EV Chargers

Standard EV charger outlets come with a range of smart features that you can use from your mobile device. These features include:

Scheduled charging
Dynamic Load Management (DLM), which monitors your EV charging in comparison to your home’s power use and adjusts in real time
Solar integration for charging
Mobile app management and charging stats

Liam and James from Alliance were amazing! They were on time, explained both our options and what they'd done in great detail. I felt confident that I was getting exactly the service I needed and that it had been carried out to a very high standard. I'd happily book them in again next time, and would recommend the service to others.

Chris & Harley were so exceptional. They arrived on time, kept me informed throughout the electrical works and ensured they left the property clean at the end. Excellent work and very friendly.

Chris Divis did a marvellous job checking the electrics of my house. He spotted a number of items, power points etc, that needed to be replaced and fixed them with a professional approach which I really liked. A great tradesman to have on your team. Thank you.

Open Charge Point Protocol and Virtual Power Plants

OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is the universal language that allows EV chargers from different brands to communicate with each other. In practical terms, it means you’re not locked into one charger brand, and you can plug in and charge at a wide variety of stations. Best of all, your charging history, smart features, and account details work across all of them.

If you integrate your EV with a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), your car can be charged using cheap electricity or your home’s solar power energy when each is most advantageous. This helps stabilise your grid power and reduce your electricity bills. An EV charger and VPP combo go well with a residential battery and solar system.
