A dedicated home EV charger can make charging much more convenient.
But the right charger depends on more than the vehicle itself.

Home EV charger
Planned around your home
How far you drive, how long the car is normally parked at home, how quickly you need to recharge and what your home’s electrical installation can support all matter.
Ace Electrics can assess your home, help determine what charging setup makes sense and install the charger and associated electrical work.
Family-owned. More than 35 years serving the region.
Not everyone needs the fastest charger available.
The right charging setup depends on things like:
01
02
03
For many households, the vehicle is parked at home for much longer than it actually needs to charge.
The goal is to install the charging capacity you’ll genuinely benefit from rather than simply choosing the largest charger possible.
The Ace Standard
Before recommending an EV charger, we want to understand how you’ll actually use it.
Then we’ll look at the electrical installation and determine an appropriate charging solution.
The right charger. The right electrical supply. Planned around the way you actually use your vehicle.
Your electrical installation
That’s something we assess before the charger is installed.
Depending on your home and the charging equipment selected, the installation may involve:
Some homes can accommodate the charger with the existing switchboard. Others may require alterations because of the available capacity, existing equipment or space required.
We’ll assess what’s already there and explain any additional work that’s genuinely needed.

Completed charger installation
Easy to use, every day
Ideally, somewhere convenient for the way you normally park.
We’ll consider things such as:
A charger you’ll use regularly should be easy to connect without creating unnecessary hassle every time you arrive home.
Charging speed
Charging speed depends on both the charger and the vehicle.
Installing a higher-capacity charger doesn’t necessarily mean every EV will charge at that full rate.
The result can depend on:
We’ll consider these together rather than choosing equipment based on its headline charging rate alone.
Planning ahead
Solar and EV charging can work well together, but you don’t need solar in order to install an EV charger.
If you already have solar, or are considering it, tell us during the EV assessment.
How much of your EV charging can come directly from solar depends on when the vehicle is connected and how much excess solar electricity your home is producing at that time.
If you’re considering both, it makes sense to think about them together.
Tell us now.
You might only need one charger today, but future plans can affect decisions around:
That doesn’t mean installing everything immediately.
It simply gives us the opportunity to consider future requirements while planning today’s installation.
If you think an EV may be in your future, it’s worth considering charging before the electrical installation is finalised.
Even if you don’t install the charger immediately, thinking about the likely parking location, cable route and electrical requirements during construction can make installation easier later.
