How long does a home EV charger installation take in Brisbane?
The entire installation process can take a few hours from start to finish. Complex cabling or switchboard conditions can lengthen the process. You can reach out to our team. We'll give you a clear timeframe based on your setup.

We work directly with owners, body corporate committees, and strata managers to design and install EV charging solutions that actually suit shared living, including individual metering and load management to keep everything fair, functional, and fully compliant.
What should I do if my EV charger stops working?
Switch it off at the wall, and wait for 30 seconds. Then, restart and check your switchboard for any tripped breakers. If it doesn’t get fixed, call us. We offer same-day diagnostics across most Brisbane suburbs and 24/7 emergency response for anything urgent.
