Most homes here have a double garage with the switchboard close by, which makes a home charger a short, tidy job. Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or GoodWe, on its own circuit, set to soak up your solar and installed by our own A-Grade electricians.
The estates of Narre Warren South went up through the 1990s and 2000s with a double garage built into the front of the house, and on a lot of those homes the switchboard sits on or near the garage wall. For EV chargers Narre Warren South is about as straightforward as Melbourne gets: the cable run from the board to the charger is often only a few metres, and nothing has to be chased through finished living areas.
What does vary is the supply. Many homes of this era are single-phase, which suits a 7kW charger on a dedicated 32A circuit, good for roughly 40km of range for every hour plugged in. Some of the bigger double-storey homes have three-phase power, and there an 11kW charger, or up to 22kW where the car can accept it, becomes an option. We confirm which you have before recommending anything, because the supply decides the charger, not the other way round.
The other question is the household. Two-car families are normal here, and many already run ducted heating and cooling and a busy evening load on the same board. We look at what the board is carrying now, whether a second car will want a charger later, and how the charger should sit alongside any solar you have or are planning, as part of the work we do across Narre Warren South.
Three brands, chosen for how well they work with solar and with each other. Every one goes on its own dedicated, protected circuit.
A slim unit that charges at up to 7kW on single-phase or 11kW on three-phase. It works with any EV on a Type 2 connector, not only a Tesla, and the app handles scheduling so the car charges in your off-peak window rather than the evening peak.
The Sigen EV AC charger runs at up to 22kW on three-phase and talks directly to a Sigenergy inverter and battery. If you already have, or plan, a SigenStor system, the SigenStor EV DC module charges the car from inside that same system.
Available in 7kW, 11kW and 22kW versions and a natural partner for a GoodWe inverter and battery. Set to follow surplus solar, it fills the car with power your roof would otherwise export for a few cents.
A dedicated cable and protection from the switchboard to the charger, sized for its full output. If the board has no room, or the main switch cannot carry a car on top of ducted heating and cooling, the upgrade is part of the same fixed price.
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.
We have no written-up EV job in Narre Warren South yet. These three are in Berwick, Cranbourne West and Clyde North, on homes much like the ones here.
The charger went into the garage together with a Sigenergy hybrid inverter and five battery modules, all fed by 41 Jinko panels on a tin roof. At 19.68kW it is the largest array we have put on a Berwick home.
Here the 7kW GoodWe charger is mounted on a driveway column rather than inside, running from a system of 28 Jinko Tiger Neo III panels and three GoodWe battery modules. A disconnected solar hot water panel was cleared away to make room.
An estate home with three-phase supply, so the charger is a 22kW unit. It runs alongside 25 panels and 36.16kWh of Sigenergy storage. The owner changed the configuration a few times before signing, and we reworked the quote each time.
A standard garage install is typically about half a day once the quote is accepted.
We look at the switchboard, the main switch rating, the supply phase and where in the garage the car parks and plugs in.
Single-phase gets a 7kW unit, three-phase can go to 11kW or 22kW. If you have a Sigenergy or GoodWe system, we usually match the brand.
Charger, circuit, protection and any switchboard work in one written figure. Nothing is added on the day.
Our A-Grade electrician runs the dedicated circuit and mounts the charger where the cable reaches the charge port comfortably.
Wi-Fi connected, solar charging and off-peak scheduling configured in the app, and the Certificate of Electrical Safety issued.
Straight answer first: there is no rebate on a home EV charger in Victoria, so the charger is a fixed price with nothing to claim. The savings come from what powers it.
We do not apply or lodge any rebate on the charger itself, because none exists. Treat any quote that shows one with caution.
Solar panels and inverters attract federal STCs, and eligible owner-occupiers can use the Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan. A car that charges in the middle of the day runs largely on that array. See solar and batteries in Narre Warren South.
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount takes around 30 percent off an approved battery, with no income test. Some owners charge from stored solar, others schedule the car to the off-peak window.
A charger is one circuit. Getting it to work with the rest of a large Narre Warren South home is where experience shows.
We check the board and main switch first and price any upgrade into the fixed figure, so there is no second invoice.
Our own A-Grade electricians, licence REC 32300. The person who quotes the job knows who is installing it.
In two-car homes we can leave board space and a cable route planned so a second charger later is a simple addition.
We install Sigenergy and GoodWe solar and batteries as well, so the charger and inverter are set up to share the roof properly.

Questions we hear from Narre Warren South households. For anything else, call 0466 355 441.
Not always. Many boards from the 1990s and 2000s have space for one more circuit. Where there is no room, old protection, or the main switch cannot carry a car on top of ducted heating and cooling, we include the upgrade in the fixed price.
For most daily driving, yes. A 7kW single-phase charger adds roughly 40km of range per hour, so a car plugged in overnight is well topped up by morning on a normal commute.
Only if the car can use it. Many EVs accept 11kW on AC, fewer accept 22kW. We check your model and recommend the matching charger from Tesla, Sigenergy or GoodWe.
Yes. The chargers we fit can prefer surplus solar, and we set that up before we leave, along with an off-peak schedule for nights when the sun was not enough.
Yes, with two chargers or one shared. We check what the supply can carry alongside the rest of the house and plan the circuits so both cars can charge.
No. There is no Victorian rebate on home EV chargers and we do not process one. Solar panels and batteries keep their own incentives, which is where the savings on charging come from.
