EV chargers Berwick VIC 3806

A charger in the garage, powered by the roof

Berwick double garages, three-phase on many streets and big solar systems make home charging simple. We fit Tesla, Sigenergy and GoodWe chargers on their own circuit and set them to fill the car from your panels first.

EV charging in Berwick

Two cars, a double garage and a big roof

Berwick is close to the ideal suburb for a home charger. The estate homes are four and five bedroom family houses, many of them double storey, with a double garage, a modern switchboard and a large roof. Households here often run two cars and drive a fair distance each week, which is why more of the Berwick solar systems we design now include a charger from the start.

The install is usually short. The board is often on or near the garage wall, so the cable run is a few metres rather than across the house. What changes the job is supply. Several Berwick streets have three-phase power, and on those homes an 11kW or 22kW charger is possible if the car accepts it. On single-phase, 7kW on a 32A circuit adds roughly 40km of range for every hour plugged in, which is plenty for overnight top-ups.

The bigger question for most Berwick owners is where the power comes from. With panels across a two-storey roof and a battery in the garage, the car can soak up the midday surplus instead of exporting it for a few cents. That is how we set up EV chargers Berwick households use daily. More on our work across Berwick.

What we fit in Berwick

Matching the charger to the supply and the system

Three questions decide the job: phase, what is already on the roof, and how far the car goes each day.

01

Three-phase homes

Where the house is on three-phase, a Sigen EV AC charger (up to 22kW), a GoodWe HCA at 11kW or 22kW, or a Tesla Wall Connector at 11kW makes sense, as long as the car can take that rate. We confirm the supply at the visit.

  • Up to 22kW, car permitting
  • Sigenergy, GoodWe, Tesla
  • Phase confirmed on site
02

Single-phase homes

A 7kW charger on a dedicated 32A circuit. Around 40km of range an hour means a typical commute is back in the car well before morning.

  • 7kW on a 32A circuit
  • About 40km range per hour
  • Overnight or solar charging
03

Charging inside a Sigenergy system

If the house has, or is getting, a Sigenergy system, the SigenStor EV DC module charges the car inside that system, and the Sigen AC charger links to the same app. One place to see solar, battery and car.

  • SigenStor EV DC module
  • One app for everything
  • Designed with the battery
04

Garage, carport or driveway

Most Berwick chargers go on the garage wall a short run from the board. Where the car lives on the driveway or under a carport, we mount it on a wall or post and run the circuit properly protected.

  • Short garage runs
  • Wall or post mounting
  • Dedicated protected circuit

Rebates and the charger

Where the saving really is

Home EV chargers have no rebate in Victoria. The solar and battery that run them do have incentives.

01
Federal battery discount

If you add storage so the car can charge after dark from your own power, the Cheaper Home Batteries discount takes around 30 percent off an approved battery, with no income test.

02
Solar panels and inverter

STCs on every eligible system, and the Solar Victoria rebate and loan for eligible owner-occupiers. Details on solar and battery in Berwick.

03
The charger itself: fixed price

No VEU, no Solar Victoria rebate and nothing for us to lodge. You get one fixed price for the charger, circuit and any board work.

The whole experience of working with Powerband has been fantastic. From the get go they were helpful with the design, requirements and answering all the questions we had about the install. We couldn't be happier with choosing them for the job. Special thanks to Bailey and the team for getting the entire installation done in one day it was a huge job so for it to be done and to such a high standard is much appreciated Thanks everyone at Powerband for all you've done

We have just had a Braemer Dominator reverse cycle ducted system installed by the Powerband Electrical team to replace our gas-fired system. We were very happy with the whole process, from the sales/design discussions with Dayle to the installation by the team led by Julian and including Logan and Darren. Using the existing ducting had its challenges but the team overcame them well. Julian set up the AirTouch5 control system & zoning with us and with a sudden cold snap arriving it has proven simple to use to create a comfortable environment. In fact we are already finding it far more effective system than the considerably larger gas unit and a more uniform heat with less draughts. Thanks to the Powerband team. Ken in Glen Waverley

Petris and his electrical team did 2 inverter airconditioner installs as part of our whole solar system install. Great workers, good thinkers who could sort out a couple of small issues in short order and wonderful people to have around our house. Organised and professional. Highly recommend Powerband.

Had the Powerband team electrify out whole house. Updated the heating / cooling with split systems, replace gas cooktop & hot water and put solar on with a 30kw battery. No gas bill, solar is producing more energy than we consume. These days we barely even have the supply charge. As part of it, they put the package together of what we wanted and needed to future proof our house and showed us several options for paying for it, in the end we opted for a 5-year interest free loan. Looking at our numbers, most of the loan will be paid off from the savings from our gas and electricity savings. All the work and upgrades done and barely any out of pocket cost, nice.... The team were great - worked in with timing for the jobs when it worked for us. The boys on site were all great, friendly, polite and professional. Did the job well and packed up (and cleaned up) well. Happy to recommend Powerband to anyone wanting to electrify their house in a cost-effective way.

FAQ

Berwick EV charger questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441. You will speak with an electrician.

Can my Berwick home take a 22kW charger?

Only if the house has three-phase supply and the car can accept 22kW. Many cars charge at 11kW on AC. We check both before recommending a charger.

Will the charger use my solar first?

Yes. We set it to prefer surplus solar, and to fall back to off-peak hours if the car still needs charge overnight.

We already have a Sigenergy system. Which charger should we get?

Usually the Sigen EV AC charger, or the SigenStor EV DC module if it suits your setup. Either works inside the same app as your solar and battery.

Is there an EV charger rebate in Berwick?

No. There is no Victorian rebate on home EV chargers, and we do not process one. The solar and battery have their own incentives.

Can you fit two chargers for two cars?

Often, yes, depending on the supply and the board. We look at the load at the site visit and tell you what the house can safely support.

How long does it take?

About half a day for a standard install. In most Berwick garages the board is close by, which keeps it simple.
