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.
We don’t just throw a charger on the wall. We install with the end in mind, so what we put in today still works for you tomorrow.
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:
Our install team has over 7 years of experience, and we’re led by Steve Randall, who’s been installing EV chargers across WA for 10+ years.
We know that most people are new to EV charging, so we’ve built a process that explains every step, avoids hidden surprises, and ensures your charger is installed safely and set up for the future.
You reach out by phone, form, or referral; we’ll have a quick chat to understand what you need and how we can help.
This helps us give you accurate advice from the start.
We’ll also explain what options make sense — and which don’t.
You’ll get a proper quote, not just a price. It includes:
We show you the app (if applicable), check that everything’s working, and ensure you’re comfortable. And if something goes wrong later? You’ve got a local number to call us.
Most existing solar systems (typically 3–6kW) were designed around powering your home before you had an EV. That means they usually don’t generate enough energy to reliably charge a car and run your home at the same time; especially during off-peak sunlight hours.
Your electric vehicle is one of the largest energy users in your household and often consumes more energy than your air conditioner or pool pump. Without a larger solar array or smart charging setup, you’re likely to fall short.
Systems of 10kW or larger are more capable of handling EV charging demands.
Even then, solar-only charging is usually limited to peak sunlight hours.
EV chargers with load management and scheduling options allow you to use solar when it’s available — and fall back on the grid when it’s not.
It’s not just about the size of the solar panel. Without proper load management, your EV may compete for power with other high-draw systems in your home, such as hot water and air conditioning. A smart charger with dynamic load balancing ensures everything runs smoothly, without tripping your switchboard.
Your car is one of the largest energy users in your household, even more than your air-con or pool pump.
If your system is under 10kW, it may only have enough “spare” power to charge your EV partially—and only during peak sun hours, which is likely to leave you with really long free charging times. Solar chargers have multiple charging options, allowing you to benefit from solar energy when available and then charge faster from the grid when needed.
The real issue isn’t just generation — it’s load management. Your home, your hot water system, and now your EV are all drawing power. Without a smart setup, your car might not get what it needs.
We work with EV owners, businesses, and fleet operators across Perth and regional WA every week. Our Google reviews reflect real projects, real sites, and real outcomes from home chargers to large commercial installations.
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.
Yes. All residential installs come with:
Yes — if you start with the right gear.
That’s why we help you pick products that support expansion without starting over.
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.
