Thinking about installing an EV charger at home?

Having an Electrical Vehicle charger at home can make life a whole lot easier. Instead of relying on public charging stations or a slow charge through an existing power outlet, you can come home, plug in and let your car charge while you're getting on with everything else.

Every home and EV setup is a little different, so our Electricians at Forrest Electrical will take the time to look at what you've got and work out what is needed to get you set up properly.

That might be a straightforward installation, or your existing electrical system may need a bit of upgrading first. Either way, We'll explain what's involved and talk you through your options.

Getting your home ready for EV charging

Before installing an EV charger, there are a few things worth considering, including:

• The type of EV and charger lead you have

• Whether you need a fast charger or a slower dedicated 16A circuit

• Where you want the charger installed

• Available switchboard capacity

• Cable requirements

• Whether any electrical upgrades are needed

We'll take a look at your individual setup and make sure you understand what's required before getting started.

EV charging can sound a bit technical, but it doesn't need to be complicated.

We'll keep things straightforward, answer your questions and make sure you understand what we're doing and why. Our goal is to get you set up with a practical charging solution that works for your home and your lifestyle. Whether that’s a faster EV charger or a slower dedicated 16A circuit (caravan power outlet).

As with every job, we take pride in doing tidy work and respecting your home while we’re there.
