      Choosing the right setup
      
## Start with what the vehicle and property can use

      
A higher-rated charger will not make every vehicle charge faster. The practical choice depends on the car's onboard AC charging limit, available supply and how much energy you need to replace between trips.

    
    
      
### Vehicle specifications

We check the make, model, connector and onboard AC charging limit before sizing the installation.

      
### Daily driving

Your usual kilometres and overnight parking time help determine a sensible charging rate.

      
### Electrical supply

Single-phase or three-phase supply, switchboard condition and other large household loads all matter.

      
### Cable route

Distance, access, wall construction, weather exposure and the parking position affect the scope.

      
### Load management

A compatible system may adjust charging when household demand changes, subject to the equipment selected.

      
### Solar charging

Some chargers can use available solar generation when paired and configured with compatible equipment.

    
  

  
  
    
      Installation scope
      
## The charger is one part of the electrical job

      
The installation is designed around the selected charger and the conditions at your property.

      
- Switchboard, supply and major-load assessment
- Dedicated circuit and suitable electrical protection
- Cable route and charger mounting position
- Load management or solar monitoring where selected and compatible
- Charger installation, commissioning and functional checks
- Electrical testing and required compliance documentation

    
    
      Limited capacity
      
### If your supply is already stretched

      
We explain the available options before work begins. These may include load management, a [switchboard upgrade](https://russoelectrical.com.au/services/switchboard-upgrade/) or further supply investigation.

      
Existing faults or damaged equipment should be addressed first through our [switchboard support service](https://russoelectrical.com.au/services/switchboard-support/).

    
  

  
  
    
      How it works
      
## Assessment to charger handover

      
    
    
      1
### Send the details

Provide the vehicle, proposed charger, switchboard and parking information.

      2
### Confirm the design

We assess the charging rate, capacity, route, protection and control options.

      3
### Install and commission

The approved charger and electrical work are installed and tested.

      4
### Set up the charger

We explain normal operation and assist with supported app or scheduling settings.

## Home EV charger FAQs

    
    Do I need a dedicated home charger?
Not every driver does. A suitable standard outlet may cover light use, while a dedicated charger can provide a higher charging rate and features such as scheduling. The outlet and circuit must still be suitable for the intended charging method.

    Should I choose a 7 kW or 22 kW charger?
The answer depends on the property's supply, the vehicle's onboard AC limit and your driving needs. A 22 kW unit cannot deliver its full rate without suitable three-phase supply and a compatible vehicle.

    Will I need a switchboard upgrade?
Not always. We check the board, protection, available space, supply capacity and other major loads. Load management may be an option with compatible equipment.

    Can the charger use solar power?
Some chargers support solar-aware charging when used with compatible monitoring and inverter equipment. The best arrangement depends on the system already installed and when the vehicle is parked at home.

    Can you install a charger in a strata building?
Strata installations need approval and additional planning for common property, cable routes, available capacity, metering, billing and load sharing. Send the building and parking details for an initial review.

    Is the work covered by a warranty?
Eligible Russo Electrical work is covered under our [workmanship warranty](https://russoelectrical.com.au/workmanship-warranty/). Check the warranty page for the current terms.
