5.0Google ratingCharging Your EV at Home the Right Way
We help WA homeowners get EV charging set up correctly the first time.
At ChargingWA, we've seen too many people opt for the cheapest installation, only to have it all removed a year later when they upgrade their EV, add solar, or purchase a second car. We're here to stop that from happening.
Already have a charger that's playing up? We also do EV charger repairs in Perth, including on chargers another installer fitted.
Most people install a charger for what they need now, but they don't think about the second car, or the solar upgrade, or the battery down the track. That's where we help.

Why Choose ChargingWA for Your Home Install?
Installing an EV charger at home isn't just about plugging it in and hoping for the best. The right installation should provide reliability, safety, and the ability to grow as your needs change. At ChargingWA, we focus on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. You get a setup that works today and is ready for tomorrow.
Here's why homeowners across WA trust us:

Solar Integration for EV Charging
If you've got a 5kW system, it might help a bit, but don't expect miracles. Charging an EV needs serious solar muscle.
3–6kW
Most home solar systems
Most existing systems were sized to power your home before you had an EV. They usually can't make enough power to charge a car reliably and run the house at the same time.
10kW+
What works better
Systems of 10kW or larger are better at handling EV charging. Even then, charging from solar alone is usually limited to peak sunlight hours, the sunniest part of the day.
Load management
Matters more than you think
Without load management, your car competes with your hot water and air-con for the same power. A smart charger with dynamic load balancing slows the car's charging when the house needs more power. That keeps everything running without tripping your switchboard.
How big is your solar system?
Tap your system size
A partial solar charge
You may have enough spare solar for a partial charge, but only during peak sunlight hours. Charging free from your own panels is likely to take a long time. Our Solar Charging package has a Solar Assist mode, which uses solar first, then tops up from the grid.
Your car is one of the largest energy users in your household, even more than your air-con or pool pump.
What We Recommend
- If you already have solar, we'll review your inverter size, usage patterns, and available capacity.
- If you're planning to add solar, we'll future-proof your charger so it's ready to sync with your system later.
- We can install solar-aware chargers (like Ocular IQ Home Solar, Zappi or Fronius Wattpilot) that know when your panels are producing, and prioritise using free solar first. A standard charger still uses your solar too; a solar-aware one lets you control how much.
- This way, whether you're solar-ready now or just planning for it, your charging setup won't hold you back.
The solar-aware chargers we install:
- Ocular IQ Home Solar
- myenergi Zappi
- Fronius Wattpilot
- Evnex E2
- Ohme Home Pro
- Zaptec Go 2
Brands We Work With
For homes, we recommend:
- OcularReliable, supported locally, future-ready
- ZappiGreat for solar-linked homes
- TeslaFor Tesla owners
When we supply the charger, we recommend brands with local spare parts and solid support, so a part is close by if it ever needs a repair.
A tethered charger has its own cable fixed to it, and a socket charger uses the cable that came with your car. Single-phase homes have one supply line from the street and three-phase homes have three. A solar-aware charger measures your solar and charges the car from what is spare. We also install three-phase EV chargers for homes with three supply lines from the street.

Works With the EV You Drive
Almost every EV sold in Australia charges at home through the same plug, called Type 2, so these chargers suit almost any car. Some older cars use a different plug, called Type 1, so tell us your make and model and we will confirm the right charger and cable on your quote.

FAQs for Homeowners
Can I use my own electrician?
You can, but be warned. We've had customers call us after paying more than double because their sparky didn't know how to commission EV chargers properly.
"It's not just an electrical job. It's a specialised product."
We do it once, and do it right.
Will I need to upgrade my switchboard?
Sometimes. If your switchboard is old or full, we'll let you know and include that in the quote. We won't surprise you halfway through the job. Crucially, all work is to Australian Electrical standards and we would never compromise our customers switchboards to save a few dollars.
Can I lock or restrict access to my charger?
Yes. Many chargers come with built-in access controls. You can lock usage via an app, or use RFID tags if needed.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. All residential installs come with:
- The manufacturer's warranty on the charger
- A 2-year workmanship warranty on our installation
- Optional extended service plans if you want faster support or annual checkups
Can I add a second home charger later?
Yes, if you start with the right gear.
That's why we help you pick products that support expansion without starting over.
Can I add Solar or a Battery Later?
Yes, absolutely, and we recommend planning for it from the start. By choosing a charger that's compatible with solar and battery systems, you ensure it can meet your needs today and adapt as your energy setup grows in the future. A little foresight now can save time, cost, and hassle down the track.
Note: You'll usually need a 10kW+ solar system to charge an EV meaningfully. We'll talk you through what that means for your home.
