In an established brick veneer the switchboard decides the job. In a newer home it is mostly about the charger. Either way you get one fixed price, a dedicated circuit, solar charging set up and a Certificate of Electrical Safety.
Cranbourne has two kinds of house when it comes to a home charger. The established streets are lined with brick veneer homes, many still running the switchboard they were built with, with older protection and little room for another circuit. The newer estates around the edges have modern boards with space to spare. The charger is the same in both, but the work behind it is not.
A charger draws a heavy, steady load for hours. A 7kW single-phase unit on a 32A circuit adds roughly 40km of range for every hour on charge, and the board has to carry that alongside the heating, the oven and everything else on a winter evening. For EV chargers Cranbourne owners with an original board often need that board replaced first. We check it before quoting, and if it needs work, the work is inside the fixed price rather than on a second invoice.
Where the car lives matters too. Some older homes have a carport or a garage set back down the driveway, which means a longer run from the meter box than in an estate home with the garage built in. We measure the route and mount the charger where the cable reaches the car comfortably, as part of our work across Cranbourne.
Every charger gets its own dedicated, protected circuit. These are the four pieces of a Cranbourne install.
We look at the main switch, the protection and the free space. An older board without room or modern safety switches is replaced with one that has space for the charger and for later circuits such as heat pump hot water or induction.
Tesla Wall Connector at 7kW single-phase or 11kW three-phase, the Sigen EV AC charger at up to 22kW, or the GoodWe HCA in 7kW, 11kW or 22kW. We choose to suit the supply and your car.
Garage wall, carport post or a column by the driveway. We run the cable the neatest way from the board, protected where it is exposed, so the charger sits where you actually park.
Connected to your Wi-Fi with solar charging and an off-peak schedule configured before we leave. If you have a Sigenergy system, the SigenStor EV DC module is another way to charge from inside it.
The full range is on our products page.
Up to 7kW on single-phase or 11kW on three-phase, on its own protected circuit from the switchboard.
The Sigen EV AC charger, up to 22kW, and the SigenStor EV DC module, both run from the same app as a Sigenergy battery.
Rated IP66 for carports and driveways, in 7kW, 11kW and 22kW versions to suit single or three-phase supply.
Pair the charger with solar and a battery and set it to use surplus solar first, then off-peak power.
No EV write-up in Cranbourne itself yet. These three are from Cranbourne South, Cranbourne West and Clyde North.
A double-storey, three-phase home where the main switchboard was upgraded as part of the job. A 22kW EV charger went in with 14 Jinko panels, a GoodWe inverter and 16.64kWh of storage behind bollards in the garage.
The 7kW GoodWe charger is fixed to a column beside the driveway. Behind it sit 28 Jinko Tiger Neo III panels and three GoodWe modules, and a disconnected solar hot water panel was cleared off the roof to make space.
A new double-storey build where solar, storage and a 22kW three-phase charger were installed as part of the build handover, sorted before the owner had moved a box in. 40 Jinko panels on tin feed a Sigenergy system with 27kWh on the garage wall.
A standard install is typically about half a day. A board replacement adds time, and the quote says how much.
A clear photo of the board and the meter often tells us most of what we need. If not, we come out and look.
We agree where the charger goes and how the cable gets there from the board.
Charger, circuit, any board upgrade and the setup in one price. There is no charger rebate, so nothing to deduct or claim.
Board work first if it is needed, then the dedicated circuit and the charger, all by our own A-Grade electricians.
Wi-Fi, solar charging and off-peak times set in the app, a test charge, and the Certificate of Electrical Safety.
The charger and any board work are a fixed price with no rebate. What you can reduce is the cost of the power going into the car.
Around 30 percent off an approved battery under Cheaper Home Batteries, with no income test, if you want to charge from stored solar at night.
Eligible owner-occupiers can use the Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan on solar panels and inverters, and STCs come off the panel price. Daytime charging then runs on the roof. More on solar and batteries in Cranbourne.
Without solar, the charger can be scheduled into your retailer's cheapest overnight window. We set that up on the day.
Older boards need a proper electrician. That is all we send.
Replacing an original switchboard is everyday work for us, and it is priced in before you agree to anything.
Tesla, Sigenergy or GoodWe, chosen for your supply, your car and any system you already have.
Our own licensed electricians on every job. Nothing is passed to a subcontractor.
We do not leave until the app is connected, solar charging works and the certificate is issued.

EV charger questions from Cranbourne. Call 0466 355 441 for anything else.
Yes, but the board may need replacing first. We check it before quoting and include any upgrade in the fixed price, so you know the full cost up front.
About 40km of range for every hour of charging. Over a typical night that is far more than most daily driving uses.
Yes. We pick a sheltered spot on a post or wall and protect the cable run from the board.
No. Single-phase supply runs a 7kW charger, which suits most households. Three-phase opens up 11kW, or up to 22kW where the car can take it.
No. There is no rebate on home EV chargers in Victoria and we do not process one. Solar panels and batteries have their own incentives.
Yes. Each of the chargers we install can prefer surplus solar. We set that up, along with an off-peak schedule, before we leave.
Send a photo of your switchboard and where you park. We reply with a fixed price that already includes any board work.
