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.
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 or further supply investigation.
Existing faults or damaged equipment should be addressed first through our switchboard support service.

FAQs
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. Check the warranty page for the current terms.
