EV Charger Installation on the Mornington Peninsula — What You Need to Know

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common on the Mornington Peninsula — and for good reason. Lower running costs, quieter drives, and better environmental outcomes make EVs an obvious choice. But to get the most out of your EV, you need a proper home charging solution.

Level 1 vs Level 2 Charging — What's the Difference?

Level 1 (trickle charging): Plugging into a standard 10A power point. This adds roughly 10–15km of range per hour. It works in a pinch, but for daily driving it's too slow.

Level 2 (home EV charger): A dedicated 7kW or 22kW circuit with a proper EV charging unit. Adds 40–100km per hour of charging. For most Peninsula drivers, overnight charging fully tops up the battery.

What's Involved in Installation?

• ✓ Assessment of your existing switchboard capacity
• ✓ Installation of a dedicated 32A circuit from the switchboard
• ✓ Mounting the EV charger unit in your garage or carport
• ✓ Issue of Certificate of Electrical Safety
• ✓ Testing and commissioning

If your switchboard is old, we may recommend upgrading it at the same time — this ensures it has the capacity for EV charging plus your existing appliances.

What Does It Cost?

The cost depends on the charger unit, cable run length and whether a switchboard upgrade is needed. Contact us for a free, specific quote for your property.
